Now that you mention it, conditions here are 1/4 mile with indefinite
ceiling, and our flight to the avionics shop today is cancelled.
So...here I am!

See, now I have to write up my story about my flight yesterday. I'm hoping
it will move you to finish up your IFR!

I've noticed that no matter what you post about lately, the
conversation eventually turns into "Bush is an idiot" and "the only
good Muslim is a dead Muslim". Thread drift lately is just crazy.

We've always had thread drift in this group - including Bush beatings and
political and religious debate. It seems to have gotten much more viscious
and personal lately, though.

I've come up with a new theory about thread drift, BTW. Think about it
like a Quija board -- everything appears mystical and inexplicable, yet
results are related to what people are already thinking when they sit
down at the board. It's the same here.

Sounds like a Carl Jung theory... You should call it 'Usenet
Synchronicity'.
