Optimism vs. Realism vs. Stupidity

Optimism....."hopefulness and confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; a tendency to take a favourable or hopeful view."

The forecast for Monday looked like this;



Wind, N to NNE, sunshine.

Given the time of year desperation is high, so take a much needed day off work.

Realism....."the attribute of accepting the facts of life and favoring practicality and literal truth"

Wake up, its grey and overcast, very damp, rain hanging in the air. RASP now looks like this;

Stupidity....."a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason"

Get in car, drive to Harting. It starts raining, carry on, arrive, its raining.

At least when I arrived I was not alone, two other hang glider pilots there (names witheld).....
