We went to the Queen City Vox Meetup this afternoon, and had a great time (though I did worry about my wife and Amy on a very long walk they took with our respective daughters). Thanks to Scott and Amy for pulling it together
With respect to the mysterious doodads, Eddy, the subject of many a Vox post (but didn't get to come!) found a use.
Pretty spiffy addition to his collar, don't you think?
We went to a field by King's Island to see if we could see fireworks. We were able to watch the show, but a lot of smoke was between us and the pyrotechnics.
We went to a balloon glow at Coney Island tonight. Pretty cool.
We went to the Cincinnati zoo yesterday. In the nursery, a baby pallas cat was there, with a kitten of a domestic cat keeping it company. It screamed ICHC.
Regardless of who I may vote for, it is still kinda cool.
UPDATE: Apparently, he had a 3-way. If you're not from around here, it probably conjures an image you'd rather forget.
On my way to lunch, the things I see.
There has been an airplane lumbering around the Lunken area. It moved slow. On my bike, if, say, a Cessna were to fly across the road, it is usually only a second before it crosses from one field of view to another. This craft took a while.
I thought I recognized it as a Ford Tri-Motor, something I've only seen in pictures. we went down to Lunken today, where my suspicions were confirmed. It was a 1929 Tri-Motor, owned by the EAA. We showed up just as it was coming in for a landing.
This particular aircraft that Eastern Airlines used to get started. Over its career, it was the "Air Force One" for the Dominican Republic, a crop dustor, a smoke jump aircraft, and used in the Jerry Lewis movie, "The Family Jewels."
Ate lunch at Potbelly on Fountain Square. The police had some horses hanging out, enjoying the music and pettin'. Water was readily available.
Wife had a dance performance; Little Miss Guilt was at her grandma's. I figured a walk with my new camera was in order. I decided to take the walk up the back end of Alms Park.
