second try ...the day the world was shut.

I walked outside on Saturday while the toast was cooking and glanced
upward at the most oppressive sight in days.
eight eights blue sky is a common term but doesnt convey the
oppressive nature of all that blue. ...truely it was an impressive
eleven elevenths blue sky that day.
"Hmmm, got to make use of this" I thought as the muffled kerplung of
the toaster resonated behind me.

a quick flog on to the airservices web site showed that the day was
doable. just the mere trifling of a 20 knot headwind to keep life
interesting.
the BOM site showed pretty coloured satellite photos that looked
pretty if not interesting. winding the weather radar out to 256km
showed not a cloud to darken the day.

spell ....what?

wac chart m'boy.

the only word not spelt correctly on wac charts is Esperance
(Esperence) an RA Survey error made in 1971 in Bendigo and still
floating around poorly checked mapping. ...like WAC charts.
