Because of today's modern transportation systems:

• On a Sunday afternoon at home while preparing some ground for new grass, I discovered an arrow head left by someone that was hunting on my property long before I arrived.  This is the first one I have ever found.

Further investigation with a person more familiar with these indicates it is more likely a side notched knife point that has had considerable re-sharpening.  The point is over 1-1/2 inches long which indicates normally a knife.  It appears to be from the Archaic Age which would make it 5,000-8,000 years old.

• The next day I can be in El Paso, TX on business for four days.  On Wednesday evening I can photograph the NASA "Guppy" at the El Paso Airport.

• On Saturday I can be at Ft. Campbell, KY for its air show.  There I can see a tank with a missile stuck in the turret and a brand new CH-47, just delivered the week before, in the new desert paint scheme.

• Sunday morning finds me at the Ft. Donelson National Battlefield in Tennessee viewing not only the battlefield, but Mom and Pop bald eagles perched along the Cumberland River looking for something to feed the chicks.  I was able to photograph two of the three chicks in the nest.  The third one stayed down in the nest.

• Sunday evening returned us to home, but only after stopping by the LST-325 in Evansville, IN (no photos) and then stopping by the Columbus, IN airport to take photos of the F-4 Phantom there. (see Indiana Gate Guards for photos)
