Tue, May 26, 2020:  Day 67 of self-quarantine:  Really warm and humid today, but nice.  We did some cleaning today and that’s about it.  I started my new book, “Those Wonderful Women in Their Flying Machines.”  During WWII these amazing women flew everything from the B29 Superfortress to the very fast P51 Mustang fighter.  After manufacture someone had to fly them to their destination.  These women answered the call.  They were more experienced than their male counterparts—and had less accidents. Of course, after the war these amazing women were relegated to obscurity as wife and homemaker. They weren’t honored for their service for 30 years.  But, if you want a job done, let a woman do it.  Upper 80s today.
