I refuse to wear or display any corporate logo, even if I generally like the company or its products. I buy unbranded clothing. When I can't get something unbranded (like a decent parka), I remove or obliterate the logo. I covered the

Jones in the Fast Lane: https://jonesinthefastlane.com You start in poverty and can work your way out, but you can also get trapped. It certainly gives you the feeling of the grind: eating only the cheapest food, earning barely

There's much less air traffic at night, and what traffic there is, is probably on an IFR flight plan. But lighting would only really help VFR pilots if it was coming from above and they were looking down. Looking out and up from a smal
