Maybe it's just me, but don't some people ever open an atlas, even

Absolutely true story.

I'm in the Post Office and talking Red Sox with the Post Master. In
walks this well dressed guy and asks where Woodstock, CT is.

Now on his way into town (and I know this because I saw him drive into
the parking lot) there are twelve signs saying something about
Woodstock. For instance, right at the Putnam/Woodstock town line
there is a HUGE sign waying welcome to Woodstock. He had to pass
Woodstock Plaza - another big sign. He had to drive past the
Woodstock Fair Grounds which you can't miss. The huge Woodstock
Community Bulletin Board which posts things like retirements,
homecomings for troops, town events, etc., named oddly enough, the
Woodstock Community BB, Woodstock Commons. And as he pulls into the
PO parking lot, there is a huge sign that says USPS Woodstock, CT, S.
Woodstock annex.

Now get this. He's looking for NEPS (a local handicapped/rehab place
that does work with the more challenged of lifes's inhabitants) in
which the S. Woodstock PO is located - another big sign right next to
the car.

Here's the funny part. The Post Master looks at me, I looked at him
with this "WTF?" look and the Post Master says "I have no idea". So
the guy thanks him, turns and walks out, gets in his car and leaves!!

Abut two minutes later, he pulls back in, gets out, slams the car door
shut and stomps into NEPS. :)


Canadian?


Hey, excuse the interruption, but...your pictures 'over there' were
great!
You must have had a blast. Where were you flying?

I flew out of Buchanan Field, Concord. We flew on the back side of Mt.
Diablo. The Sacramento Delta to the North, SF Bay to the West, the
mountain
to the south and Los Vaqueros Reservoir to the east.



OK. I though it may have been the Long Beach area with all the tanks, but
I
couldn't spot anything familiar. Now I know why!

We did a some of the flying over the old Port Chicago Weapons Station.
