I remember, I think last year, but I don't remember the month. From my balcony at home, it would be 7 o'clock in the morning. In the distance in the sky, I think at a height where a passenger plane usually flies. It was a flash of light that was moving, but it was static, it was as if it was spinning in both directions. But it was not moving forward. As if they were moving a big mirror, and its flashes were intermittent. Can a satellite give flashes of light at that time of day? I'll never know what it was, but I've never seen anything like it. It was there for at least 15 minutes. This was in the south east of Spain. From the position, I think it was over the sea. I called my wife and she also observed it. That day we had planned to go for a walk in the mountains, I think it would be in spring.Both. Eight years at New York center. 24 years at BWI.

I raised bees on my little farm in Delaware to pollinate my two acres of blueberries. It all paid my tax bill.Now that my retirement pension is being eroded away by the cost of living, found a new source of funds under the radar of Uncle Sam. Sell bee keeping products, organic produce at my farm stand so I feel a lot less guilty about Pad & Tad
