Hey, Pig, I visited the Sun'n Fun website yesterday and the backpack
prohibition has not been rescinded as Whizzmire promised. As for _Bleak

All I know is they told me I could bring it and it'd probably be
subject to search. I'd be carrying lots of camera equipment and they
OK'd it. That does not mean I'm saying they rescinded the ban or what
it'd take to be able to carry one.

I'd certainly take the letter with me though.

House,_ your reading is YAAAAAWN. Try _Chuzzlewit._ You're in it.

Have you ever considered building an aircraft? The exercise might make you
less obstreperous.

If anybody doesn't know who "jls1016ns" may be, the reversion to
juvenile (and really stretched) insults based on combining a name with a
body function gives it away. Even if the completely undeserved
vituperation didn't. Latchless Larry, c'mon down, and we'll pray that
you might be healed. Or saved. Or take up golf.

Just googled Larry Smith, then jls. Some 37,000 posts between them.
Wonder what the total number of posts from all his aliases is? Could
be a record....... for the longest White Lightning build time. :-)

'Taint now. Get ready to have your wallet plucked. And that rule about
ice chests and backpacks, that's so you'll not be bringing in your beer at
$5 a sixpack from the supermarket down the street. You'll need to buy it
at $4 per beer and $10 per hamburger on premises.

Have you attended other public events recently? I thought the prices at SNF
were more reasonable than OSH, the food was certainly more diverse and
better, and we were absolutely ecstatic that we could get beer (and even a
margarita!) ON SITE, rather than having to hoof it two miles to the nearest
bar, like we must do in Oshkosh.

And we brought a cooler. Several of 'em, in fact.

Last year was our first Sun N Fun, and we had a great time. We're hoping to
fly in again this year, weather permitting.

Last summer, when the WACS was at Lakeland, they didn't search any
backpacks, camera bags, or purses. I worked the ticket booth a couple
of days and people were surprised that no one was looking for pocket
knives or weapons of mass destruction hidden in a camera.

MacDill Air Force Base is having a air show this weekend. The 2002
and 2003 shows were cancelled for security reasons. Rule one is no
coolers. Rule two is no weapons, including pocket knives. They don't
allow rollerblades, etc. Backpacks, bags, purses and camera bags are
allowed and searched.

A B-2 flew over the house on its way to MacDill this afternoon
(altitude - about 800 feet). Wow, what a plane.

Hi Betsy,

Son John, and I attended the last few days of the WACS
rooting for our underdawg American lady fliers...
especially newcomer, Vicki Cruse.
She did good. However....

Damn those Russian babes.
They can even outfly most of our men.
And some are a little bit prettier than our men, too. g

What a trippin' trip.

Say 'hi' to hubby for me.
