NEW YORK CITY -- With the aid of a sign-language interpreter, New York Army National Guard Capt. Glenford Rose teaches an emergency preparedness class during a session of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art here on July 29, 2014. New York National Guard troops gave disaster and emergency training to about 565 people who attended the event. The program is designed to give citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. New York National Guard troops, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and local emergency management personnel have been conducting these sessions across the state. Rose, the executive officer of the 466th Area Support Medical Company, is from Brooklyn, N.Y. (U.S. Army photo by Master Sgt. Raymond Drumsta, New York Army National Guard).
I hope that I appreciate every advancement that's been made during the course of my adult life. Broadcast TV during a flight! Jeepers! It's a far cry from when I started flying. I could pick only 10 CDs, one book, and magazine and if I guessed wrong, zap! I would be bored senseless for six hours from Boston to San Francisco.
I gotta say it's v.apropos to be watching "The Amazing Race" while in the air. I've always believed that the show is so compelling because the challenges the Racers face are so familiar to air travelers. The plane drops you in an unfamiliar city -- sometimes with an unfamiliar language and units of currency -- and the next four hours are filled with endless A or B decisions. You're usually under some kind of time crunch and you have to balance "stop, think and plan" with "go go go."
In fact, I often hear Phil Koegan's voice in my head when I'm traveling and contemplating two options. My plane lands at 8 PM and I'm probably about 90 minutes away from reaching my hotel.
Cut to Phil:
"In 'Burger In The Hand,' teams pay way too much for awful food at the airport. If they choose 'Burrito In The Bush' they continue to the city, check into their hotel, and then get dinner at a local restaurant. They'll get a much better meal for the same price, IF they can find a restaurant near the hotel that's still open."

It's so great seeing more and more of these going up everyday. These are a few newly erected Wind Generators at the Spearville Windfarm outside of Spearville, Kansas.
"...I'm just saying, Cobra Commander isn't here, and we're in charge of an entire Terror Drome. We should be running Cobra!"
As one arctic Siegie ponders this, another prepares for a promotion. After a short transmission to Cobra Island.
This is part of a scene I did where the Siegies are overseeing construction of a Terror Drome. But the background was bad. I'll see if Photoshop can save one of those shots.
