Description: A flight attendant, also known as steward/stewardess or air host/air hostess, is a member of the aircrew aboard commercial flights, many business jets and some government aircraft. Collectively called cabin crew, flight attendants are primarily responsible for passenger safety and comfort. The role of a flight attendant derives from that of similar positions on passenger ships or passenger trains, but it has more direct involvement with passengers because of the confined quarters on aircraft.
Description: The Blue-winged Olive mayflies have bodies that are a shade of olive, and a dun or blueish colored wing. The blue-winged olive (BWO) is not one species, but a group of them in the genus Baetis, Attenella, and smaller drunella, and are generally smaller mayflies. To match the BWO with an imitation during a hatch, is to get the size right. These tiny mayflies populate the rivers half the year, when most people don’t fish. Hatches can begin in late September and continue until April. A great gift for the fly fisherman.
Description: My kind of social distance. In public health, social distancing, also called physical distancing, is a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions or measures intended to prevent the spread of a contagious disease by maintaining a physical distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other. It typically involves keeping a certain distance from others (the distance specified may differ from time to time and country to country) and avoiding gathering together in large groups.
