As we waited for trains to come rolling down the Horseshoe Curve, an Apache helicopter rose from behind a hill and flew around for a bit.
The Boeing AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement, and a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew. The Apache was developed as Model 77 by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. First flown on 30 September 1975, the AH-64 features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. The Apache is armed with a 30-millimeter (1.2 in) M230 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage. It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 features multiple aircraft systems with built-in redundancy to improve survivability in combat; improved crash survivability for the crew has also been prioritized

I was a substitute teacher in Germany and an American father brought back a cd while on leave from Iraq. It was the photos from all of his soldiers in Iraq. I made a copy for all of his soldiers in return for one of the cd's. I am not sure who the soldier in the picture is or who took the photo.

We drew this girl for like three hours last night and she didn't turn around once. Not once!
It's a good event, though, and I'm gonna try to go again. It was only $4 and it wasn't even over when we left (but I have a two and a half hour point of discontinued interest when it comes to drawing... I think school taught it to me).
