Iowa Aviation Weather...en Espanol

You left the Triangle for Madison -- how can we trust your judgement
in other things? You probably had to buy a snow blower.

This is purely anecdotal, but so is everything else on this thread.
Where I used to work in Raleigh, North Carolina, we had a fairly heavy
immigrant Spanish speaking only population that we served. We had in
house 24/7 interpreters (as opposed to translators, there is a
difference I learned), and I asked one of them about the paperwork we
handed out that was in Spanish. Could they even read it? The consensus
was that most of them were illiterate in Spanish, which was eye
opening to me as we had a fair bit of money invested in software that
could spit things out for printing in either language....
Food for thought.

OUCH, but touche!
Yes I did, I'm originally from WI. Loved the weather down there in NC
but it wasn't "home". Bought my first airplane, an Ercoupe, and kept
it at Horace Williams (IGX) in Chapel Hill. Had a K-6 with the North
Carolina Soaring Association.
But got offered a job at my alma mater that involved some flying and
couldn't pass it up.

No, I don't own a snow blower!

Flying on someone else's nickle AND working for UW is probably an
acceptable reason for leaving NC. If the offer included season tickets
to the football games it would have been a no brainer, but was
withdrawal from ACC basketball painful? Is there some form of 12 step
program to help?

You do know the Heels lost to the Hokies last night, don't you, or are
you so deep into Big 10 sports it didn't matter?

We flew commercial to Palm Beach last month, the return trip was via
Charlotte. We had a short layover there, just enough time to get a
bite to eat. We were served, beside our sandwiches, a deep fried
breaded dill pickle. We knew we were almost home!
