Quiet time. 📰

Gabbard and Kennedy. Oof.

As I was upgrading Catholic Husband, I came across a post that I wrote in January 2017 called On Hiatus. I had completely forgotten that I took all of 2017 off.

Since restarting in November of that year, I’ve written over a third of my entire blog.

Rest is a good thing.

Honda, Nissan End Merger Talks, Leaving Nissan to Seek Other Partners - WSJ

Honda had initially agreed to a merger structure in which the two automakers would sit side-by-side under a single holding company. The companies said Thursday that Honda—whose market value is about five times Nissan’s—later sought to make Nissan a subsidiary.

FAA Wants Permanent Helicopter Restrictions at Reagan Airport - WSJ

The path the American Airlines regional jet took toward Runway 33 required it to turn toward the right and then bank left to line up for its landing. That route crosses over a lane for helicopters at a relatively low altitude.

This is the core problem and nothing else. You’ve got a 200’ altitude restriction on helicopters, but the traffic on short final is going to be bumping into that.

The intersection off of Runway 33 is the problem. So move the routes for greater separation or close 33 permanently.

I set up a scanner in my client’s office so that they could send me copies of physical documents.

I now realize that all I did was set up a modern fax machine.
