There are 2 types of people in this world. Those that meticulously rearrange the toppings on a frozen pizza and those that throw it into the oven as is. They marry one another.

Growing up in Northern IN, not too far from Grissom AFB, they would use the local stone quarry in mock bombing runs. I was in awe as A-10’s and F-16’s flew by at tree height. Tore out about 30ft of corn watching a dog fight instead of watching where I was going on the tractor. Dad wasn’t too upset.
