Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Vega in the National Air and Space Museum. Photo September 2006.

Since I just finished listening to a biography of Amelia, I thought this would be a good choice this week.

Although I’m still not blogging at this site to the extent that I had intended when I set it up, I thought I would go ahead and mark the blog’s second year of existence. I still have some draft posts that I need to finish up and post so I’ll have something other than “Picture of the Week” posts!
