FAA denies Wally Funk her Commercial Astronaut wings?

This seems fairly needlessly petty:

Federal aviation regulators have made a rare change to the requirements for its Commercial Astronaut Wings Program, meaning Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos may not officially be recognized for his spaceflight this week.
The Federal Aviation Administration changed rules for the program on the same day Bezos, his brother and two others made their historic first commercial spaceflight on Tuesday.

I think that I’m confusing…

…the staff of Hooters, here: I’m pretty much ensconced at a table, it’s clearly my first time at this chain, and yet I’m more or less ignoring my surroundings. What I’m actually doing, of course, is hiding from my kids: the babysitter has them, which means this is my first time off in a week. So… a beer, a bunch of wings, and a blessed, blessed lack of situational awareness.

Which is just as well: I’m pretty sure that I’m old enough to be some of these girls’ father.

PS: These breaded fried pickle things are pretty good.

“Band on the Run.”

I loved this song as a kid. As in, when I was nine years old. Dunno why.

Band On The Run, Wings

Not that it’s a bad song. Just not as significant to me as it was when I was younger.
