The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

MLK Day 2012
This day will be spent pretty much like the last. I hope to get some more writing in soon. I’ve noticed I have more time if it rains. The weatherman says maybe tomorrow.
This is still my favorite quote for the day:
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but the appalling silence and indifference of the good people. Our generation will have to repent not only for the words and acts of the children of darkness, but also for the fears and apathy of the children of light."
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
