These Canada geese departed swiftly from Stonebrooke in Shakopee Monday. Today's report from Tucson, filed by a close relative who arrived there yesterday, says the conditions are great for snowbirds and anything else down there, with lots of sun and 85 degrees. There was apparently a good growing summer as the report concludes that last year's plantings are healthy and in good shape.We await photographic evidence.
The geese weren't the only ones flying Monday. Click on the photo below to see the red tail of a scheduled Northwest flight. I would ask my neighbor, ex-flight controller Tom Story, who is an expert plane spotter, to identify the model of the aircraft. Unfortunately, he and his wife Sandy are presently in Greece, following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul.
Let's just say that it was a DC9. He'll correct me when he comes back. And if he learned anything at all from the journey, he'll forgive me too.
