Miscellaneous -- Nothing About The Bakken -- September 2, 2016

If you only have time to read one article today, read the short first-person account: "Sully" Sullenberger's Serene Texas Home in today's WSJ

In a couple of paragraphs, Sullenberger describes the 208 seconds that followed the bird hit. This was back in January, 2009.

The last paragraph really says it all:

For years I tried to resist the hero label. Now, with the passage of time, I have a much fuller appreciation of what happened that day. We all were doing our jobs. We just happened to do them exceptionally well.

That reminds me of my career in the US Air Force. There were so many times, and so many events, when everyone was simply doing her/his job -- and everyone just happened to do their jobs exceptionally well.
