It’s been forty years or so since I have gone so long without taking a single flight.
Having habitually complained about flying, especially in the years I was virtually commuting between Ottawa and Orange County, I was surprised when I realized that I can’t wait to take another flight, preferably somewhere far away.
On the point of aviation, here is a blog about my love for the Cessna: https://alteritas.net/GXL/?p=4228

Friendly, unsolicited advice to Republicans in search of solutions to their poor, bedraggled (driven through the mud) party or, alternatively, toward founding a new center-right one:
Go back to the basics.
You likely aspire after RES PUBLICA, a “public thing” – a govt answering to its franchised citizens.
You probably do not think that the DEMOS, the People, especially a people composed of multiple conflicting identities, should rule. That would be DEMOCRACY.
Obviously, the question of citizenship, more precisely who is franchised, must be defined. My advice would be to expand the franchise to as many as possible. Short of genocide, white people, those who consider themselves such, will become a minority almost everywhere in the US.

The false piety of white #liberals who claim that they are not #racists — or, indeed, who mea culpa that they ARE racists — is matched by the epistemological arrogance of the #CRT#Woke, who insist that everyone else is. And that they are not.
