Glad you like the name. It comes from the "Harry Dresden" books. He had a cat named Mister and a dog (Tibetan temple dog) named Mouse. Liked the name Mouse so changed it up a bit. Sadly, Mouse is no longer with us. We now have Ruth Bader, Taz, Good Boy Royce, and Beebs. AND 2 black labs...Suzy and Margie.
Love to your animal family, to Infinity and beyond!

Jeep tunnel.

From A construction that triggers the imagination and which recently has been completely restored. It has been mentioned in many books. After the airborne landings in Wolfheze the British had to begin their long road to Oosterbeek and Arnhem under heavy enemy fire. Soon the Germans recaptured much terrain. All important railroad crossings were heavily guarded. The British discovered this tunnel and established that, with their windshields folded down, their antennae retracted and all equipment carefully stored inside the jeep, they would only just be able to drive through the tunnel.

That would be the ‘Rockies’ directly in the background, flying on the Boeing 737.

When I was working on the Army Hospital in Tacoma, I saw the 737's during their testing phase.
You will find this very interesting:

Of course this was before they put all the seats and other heavy stuff in it.

I was flying back and forth to my home in upstate NY on a regular basis. On one flight home I looked out the window at the wing of an 737 and it was spotless. No footprints, no grease marks, engines were pristine. I asked the pilot on the way out if this was a new plane, he said they had just put it into service that week.
