Karakoram, 2023.06.23

While flying between Dubai and Tokyo I realized we were flying over the Karakoram. I think the mountain in the center of the horizon might be K2. It has the right profile.the

The horizon's not 100% straight in this pic but this actually reflects the plane's banking and rocking anyway so I'm not fussed.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
