Ironically, I've never been on a functioning aircraft.

This could explain your romantic view of airpower. :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I had a B-17 flying over my house all day Saturday.  They had an event where you could fly a pretend mission as a crew member from a local airport.  Sounds fun as hell, but I can think of other things I'd rather do with the $450 :bleeding:

Yeah.  I'd actually be in for a hundred or so, but at $450 I'd rather save my money & go up to the Air Force museum and play make-believe.

Years ago, we spent about $250 to give Dad a 30 minute ride in a big ol' T-6 Texan for his birthday.  Loved it.

Who cares? The majority also likes honey boo boo and wife swap.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

So when I got home from my travels I had some membership cards from AARP in the mailbox.  :wacko:

They got my birthday right but not my age.  :P

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

OK, why is my WiFi signal "low" and yet if I move the laptop 3/4 inch to the left (away from the router) it improves markedly to "Very Good" ?
