Articles like this are a prime example of why HN should not be about just tech. Thank you for sharing. I hope nobody flags it.
Patrick has been writing "Ask the Pilot" for years at Salon.
He's really interesting, and this is one of his best articles. If you fly a lot, I recommend looking up his Salon archives. He lives in Sommerville and used to host a yearly meetup to look at his photography- not sure if it's still alive...
Nothing to do with HN, but I was standing in a museum gift shop (waiting for my family to finish pawing over gewgaws and gimcracks) and strangers were staring at me because I was giggling uncontrollably at my phone.
How embarrassing. Thank you :-)
For a more tech-related, but less amusing column, try:

but I prefer the _Creature from the Blue Volcano_
Read aloud in film-noir-style narration this proved an amusing tale.
I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with anything... but I liked it :)
I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard through this. Hilarious.
That was very poetic...
Try reading that and imagining it in the voice of the late Jean Shepherd. Priceless.
Absolutely amazing storytelling. Gripping yet hilarious at the same time.
Nothing to do with HN, but I'm so happy I got to read this. Now I'm going to read his other stuff, brb... :)
