The city of Mos Eisley is a well known for its weekends. If you've missed this, then you became basically a square. There is so much happening around the city, and mainly it's underground areas that needs to be explained on a Lonely Planet's City Guide someday.
Here's a one square-thug looking the city on sunday evening, when everyones pretty much starting to charge their batteries for the next one.

AIR CANADA has been waiting for their Dreamliners.
For 3 long years, way past the original date of first delivery.
SUNDAY, MAY 17 at 15:00 hours (3 pm for the uninitiated), Air Canada WILL ACCEPT its' first Dream-aling-a-ding-dong.
…and 36 MORE are a'comin'.
Give a 787 Dreamliner a Sippy-Cup of fuel and you can go from Toronto to Montreal, with gas to spare. Give it three—and you can go to London, England!
Say good-bye to AC's ancient 767 fuel pigs. In due time.
What's a 767? Think Gimli glider and you'll get it.
After Air Canada gets ONE DREAMLINER, they'll have to dream, as they're waiting' for their others to arrive.
HEY, ALL AIRLINES have been waiting for their 787 DREAMLINERS to arrive.
There have been p-r-o-b-l-e-m-s.
First came the pre-launch problems of the B-787.
And the subsequent delays.
Starting in June 2007, Mr. Boeing started to pull his hair out because of the compounding delays. First, a three month delay of the 787 Dreamliner's first flight in lieu of incomplete software, and also a fastener shortage. October 2007, brings another 3 month delay of the 787's maiden flight because of software issues, an ongoing fastener shortage, and foreign and domestic supply chain problems. January 2008, yet another three month delay. April 2008 , first flight of the 787 rescheduled for fourth quarter of 2008. In November 2008, wrong fasteners get installed, and have to be removed—just as Boeing workers go on strike! Yikes, what a twist of fate! Pun intended! Maiden 787 flight now set for mid-2009. June 15, 2009 Boeing announces at the Paris Air Show, their Dreamliner will be airborne by month's end!
Nope.
Fuselage reinforcement needed.
Actual first flight? December 15, 2009.
June 2010, horizontal stabilizers of all test planes prove problematic. All test planes repaired.
August 2010 - Trent 1000 engine explodes at Rolls-Royce test facility during ground testing. First ANA delivery pushed back to sometime in 2011.
November 9, 2010 - 787 test plane makes emergency landing. All test planes grounded for 6 weeks! Testing resumes December 23.
January 2011 - 787 has in-flight fire, software and electrical updates are now needed.
August 26, 2011 - US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Air Safety Agency finally certify the 787. Let the deliveries begin. September 24, 2011 ANA accepts their first 787.
And now come the post-launch problems.
These are problems discovered with the 787 DREAMLINER after airlines have been flying them on routes.
February 6, 2012 - Boeing announces fuselage manufacturing error. Some Dreamliners require repair.
July 23, 2012 - Five ANA 787s have their Rolls-Royce engines repaired.
Five days later; on July 28, 2012, a 787 suffers catastrophic engine failure which triggers an investigation. September 5, 2012, an ANA 787 aborts take-off after a hydraulic glitch occurs, and white smoke billows of its left engine.
December 2012, the FAA orders ALL Dreamliners inspected ```after reports of … get this … fuel leaks!
January 7, 2013—just a month after the FAA demand, a fire breaks out in an empty Japan Air Lines Dreamliner! The next day, another JAL 787 has a fuel spill (40 gallons) onto the runway, and a cockpit windshield crack grounds an ANA 787! Within a week two more JAL 787s have fuel leaks. Japanese Transport Ministry launches investigation.
January 16, 2013 an ANA 787 Dreamliner flight is diverted after a burning smell is detected onboard. Landing inspection reveals a battery fire. A burning smell also detected on a JAL 787 at Boston Logan results in all 50 Boeing 787s being grounded! Dreamliner deliveries are halted!!
April 26, 2013 after new battery testing is complete, and new batteries are installed, Dreamliners take to the air again.
For June and July 2013, Boeing 787s have electrical panel problems (Qatar Airways), braking problems (United Airlines), oven overheating (Air India), battery wiring damage (ANA) and a mysterious fire on an empty 787 (Ethiopian Airlines) that forces Heathrow Airport (almost the biggest airport in the world) to temporarily close.
Yes, it has been a long, problematic teething period for the Dreamliner!
But, its been quiet for the 787 this past year. The bugs are gone and so are Boeing's naysayers.
AND REMEMBER you will NEVER suffer from aerotoxia on a 787!
The Boeing 787 DREAMLINER does not receive its cabin air (the air you breathe as a passenger) from its' engines (known as bleed air) which can become contaminated by toxic oil. Did ya' know jet engines require synthetic oils for lubrication? Unfortunately, these oils contain ingredients such as tricresyl phosphate (TCP) which is chemically related to Sarin gas! Compressed engine bleed air IS NOT filtered after passing through an aircraft's engines, but can be exposed to vaporized oil at this time. Contaminated bleed air enters an aircraft's cabin from the engines, and sometimes folk react to these minutiae amounts of oil contaminated air.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, however, uses bleedless technology (yeah, Boeing!) by acquiring fresh air for the cabin to be drawn in through wing root inlets instead of through the engines, themselves!
AIR CANADA's FIRST 787 DREAMLINER will leave the factory in Everitt, Washington this Sunday and fly directly to Toronto where it will get cannon-blasted as Air Canada takes its newest family member on strength, shortly after its arrival in Toronto (YYZ) Sunday, May 18 at 3:00pm. It has been in testing over the past couple months and flew for the first time on April 22, 2014.
The Dreamliner even has a few Canadian made parts, namely, the movable trailing edge and the wing body fairing. Just so ya' kno'.
Why is this picture blurry? Don't you know you aren't supposed to take photos inside the Boeing plant?
Some paths lead you nowhere, but, nowhere is where you want to be, so, nowhere becomes somewhere. It may be over the rainbow. It may be to a quiet deserted stretch of beach. It may be a silent, sylvan setting. Wherever it is, nowhere is the place to be.
After telling the 3 wise uglies to just be themselves when they introduce themselves to the other guys, they had somewhat of a conference in the corner of the room - at the time I didn't quite know what to expect, but then Orange Ice-Bat came and asked me if he could borrow a few coins to visit the local supermarket, so of course I obliged his request.
In the last couple of minutes I was summoned to the living room by Babo who said that there had been a letter left for them stating "Tonight at 8pm, the most fantastic show in the world, be there or be square!".
We all gathered in the living room to find out what this could all be about, and as we sat on the couch all of a sudden all the lights went out to massive gasps from everyone as panic set in. Suddenly music started to play slowly and light started to appear from behind the living room table, everyone on the couch huddled closely together as they were both scared and excited.
Green Icebat rose high above the table and then slowly descended until he landed on the table upon which lots of coloured lights began to flicker behind him...all the uglies were cheering, whistling and clapping...the performance was an instant hit!!!

Little George hiked at least 10 miles, without being carried or whining. He did such an amazing job, Ken gave him his handcrafted hiking stick. Awesome job, George!

Another week. Another blizzard. It has been snowing for 11 hours straight. Still, there are people who feel they have to be somewhere.
