All of these things visited me while sitting in the back of a glider flown by my son, who left me little to do but receive these indica of the world around me. There are those [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite some pretty iffy-looking TAFs for the surrounding areas, FOD and I showed up at Owosso yesterday to find nicely flyable weather. Overcast between 5,000 and 11,000 feet, but good visibility and the even the occasional convection that allowed 2,500-foot tows to result in flights of up to 0.5 hours. I had a few objectives for [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent Saturday at Owosso (KRNP) doing CAP glider operations. The biggest rodeo I&#8217;ve done to date. 38 cadet O-flights and seven C flights, all among three pilots, two gliders, and a single tow plane.
