I don't suppose there is any chance that the campgrounds at Oshkosh are

Now, Paul, you'll probably accuse me of being a Luddite, but it just seems
to me to be a travesty of the highest order to contemplate sitting in the
Mecca of all aviation -- Oshkosh -- surfing the internet.


The last time I was there, I spent roughly 12 hours a day walking around
taking pictures. At the end of each day, I couldn't move and had to ice
down my knees and gulp down every pain killer I could risk without losing
my medical (ibuprophen, tylenol and alieve) in order to have a hope in
hell of managing the next day. Is it really such a travesty of life that
I want to spend some of that non-moving time catching up with my friends
and family instead of just reading brochures?
