The Bits that I Left Uptown

Reid-Hillview (where several of my friends fly) seems to be producing its share of curious aviation mishaps lately. Back in December they had that plane crash into a sewage tank, and now RSOE Havaria shows a Cessna C-140 flipped over on landing Saturday.

I meant to watch that mosque documentary, but missed it. The Dispatches series it was in is probably the best investigative documentary series on British TV, and (I think) the only regular hour-long one.

We don't have anything like that anymore. "Sixty Minutes" used to be quite good, but they've long sinced slipped into the 'how did you feel when your baby fell over the cliff?' school of journalism.
