Air temperature 65 F, wind southeast 5 mph, overcast with fog. Visibility 1.5 miles at the airport weather station, which means pilots can't see the full runway length. Taking off anyway. Hope they have transponders on the moose . . .

There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood,
Overflows into the parking lots down along the river . . .
