Do you ever go down weird "rabbit holes" on the internet?

I worked this morning with the littlies and then came home and did very little. I practiced some guitar, put some felt on a pair of coasters, fed Kitty some wet food, and then got lost in internet land. I researched Donald Trump's compulsive lying (he even lies about his golf handicap) and then researched the Asiana plane crash at San Francisco International Airport some nine (close to ten) years ago. I won't provide all of the details, as they would bore many MyLotters, but I will say that one of the contributing factors was over-reliance on computers for flying commercial airplanes. My friend, Ed Musselman, was the "assistant hay boss" when I stacked hay in Montana in the 1980s and 1990s. His wife, Paunee, was the hay boss. Ed had been a pilot for most of his life, and was at one point the "oldest flying pilot in Montana." He flew DC-10s for Western Airlines before he retired (he said they were great airplanes) and at one point had flown Constellations (four-engine propeller planes) for earlier airlines. In 2015, when this photo was taken, I helped him fix his car, and got him into a discussion of the Asiana crash, which I believe occurred in 2013. Miraculously, only three people died in that crash. Ed said that current pilots were becoming too dependent on technology, and did not have a "feel" for how their airplanes were performing. He told me that he sometimes landed DC-10s, with many souls on board, manually, even if "autopilot" could have done more of the work. He took me up once or twice in the single engine planes that he kept at his Montana ranch. It was fun and less scary than I thought it would be. I'll attach a photo of Ed, taken in 2015, when he was about 90. He lived to be 95 or 96. He still flew into his early 90s. Do you ever get "lost" in internet rabbit holes?
