back from Spokompton

I just got back a few minutes ago from a round trip flight to Spokane. There is nothing more tranquil and beautiful than flying at night. It can certainly be spooky at times, especially since it's harder to see weather and storms, but over all it is always better than day. The ride is smooth, it is absolutely beautiful with all the lights, the skies are nearly empty, which means less idiots to share it with, and the air traffic controllers are mellow. We had to diver around a thunderstorm that was pretty impressive... lightning was flashing all over, and our storm scope was lit up like a christmas tree. Now I know it's best not to look, as to not lose my night vision, but I was like a fly attracted to a zapper... I couldn't stop looking at it. If you think lightning is impressive on the ground, try seeing it from the air. At night. Of course, I didn't fly towards the siren lights like flies do... that'd make a dead Drew. And really, what use is there for a dead Drew?
