News update

Because I was busy showing the California photos, I haven't really given any news recently... Let's start with the airshow we went to a couple of weeks ago. One of the attractions was this huge cargo plane with a really weird shape...



Then there were some vintage war plane demonstrations, complete with explosions, and here's a strange cloud that formed.



The main act was the Canadian 'Snowbirds', a formation of 8 planes which performed various figures. Here they are, back on the ground:



We also saw a mad jet-engined truck which raced a plane, and a military Super Hornet aircraft which passed right by us at very very high speed (near supersonic) and a deafening noise!

Other news is, it's nearly Halloween! And as it's a big thing here in the US, and a real tradition (as opposed to something completely out of place in France), I have put these up in front of the house:



I have also bought 'candy', so am ready for the trick-or-treaters would they decide to stop by!

And the last photo of the day will be that of the Subaru Forester I have been driving in the past month. I gave it back to the rental car company yesterday, and will pick up another car on Sunday. I loved driving it, even though it's far from being as refined as the BMW!
