Historical note

One hundred years ago today, Orville Wright made the first powered flight of an airplane. Rumor has it the in-flight movie was "Ishtar".

Later that same day, Wilbur Wright was involved in the first airplane crash in the history of aviation. An unconfirmed rumor says that he had been informed moments before that the in-flight movie would be "Battlefield Earth".

Update

Class begins in two hours, ending four hours later. Tonight, I will try and see Return of the King; the local theater does not have advance ticket purchasing, so I may have to stand on line.

Wish me luck, all...
