The speed of flight

In 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 33 hours and 30 minutes. Lucky Lindy risked it all and hit it out of the park.

In 1974 Major James V. Sullivan, (pilot) and Noel F. Widdifield, (reconnaissance systems officer) flew an SR-71 Blackbird from New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56 seconds.

Only 47 YEARS after Lindbergh flew his historic flight!!

A ten year old kid who celebrated Lindbergh's flight would be middle aged when the SR-71 roared in to London.

Good grief. What astonishing progress in such a small amount of time.

Toby Keith





Tobey Keith, Country singer, is opening a chain of restaurants "I Love This Bar and Grill" restaurant, named after one of this tunes.

First one is in Vegas.

Military with IDs get a free meal.

What a guy.

While on the Dennis Miller radio talk show, he also relayed a comment told to him by Trace Adkins while they were touring together. Adkins said that if he was there when Kanye West pulled the mic from Taylor Swift he “ ..would beat his ass, beat his ass again, and lay down on him, take a nap, and when I woke up I’d beat him again”.


I’m just sayin’.
