On this day Oct 14, 47 years ago, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier for the first time.  His aircraft the X-1 was lifted to an altitude of 25,000 feet by a B-29 aircraft and then released through the bomb bay, rocketing to 40,000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per hour (the sound barrier at that altitude). The rocket plane, nicknamed “Glamorous Glennis” (after Yeager’s wife), was designed with thin, unswept wings and a streamlined fuselage modeled after a .50-caliber bullet.

Thanks Chuck for your service to our country.

As our worlds have shrunk, in this season, the challenges we face day in and day out have amplified. Life can seem overwhelming alone in our own heads.  Walking beside others in our hurts and suffering however small is as significant as ever.   I’ve found its helpful to keep from minimizing what we are experiencing by comparing our plight to another.  This is hard on all of us, reach out and share how you are doing.  I promise it will make us all feel less crazy.
