Have you ever read "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"? G

with me?"



And the begonias?

you are confusing with the petunias.

tsst tsst. Mixing up your solanaceae with your begoniaceae. Besides
petunias are a lot prettier.

It's been a while... G

BTW, the book was far better than the movie. Do you agree?

I don't see it now. Do you have the NOTAM number? We do often have
TFRs over Beale for unmanned aircraft but that doesn't sound like what
you are talking about. We also have a permanent Mickey Mouse TFR in
SoCal.

They way I read it, it isn't actually restricted airspace, its just
asking pilots not to hang around the whale. In fact they specifically
say opeartions at affected airports are not affected. Besides, its
only below 1000, clearly its for news helicopters. However, usually
the news helos stay above 1000 feet because the law enforcement helos
are below 1000 and the news guys have great zoom lenses anyway.

There is not much doubt.

I never saw the movie, but it would be very difficult to do well.

There was also a radio version which was attrocious--my patience for it
lasted about a minute!

And the classic BBC television series. It was so cheezy it was great.

which one? there were (at least, i.e., that I know of) two
movies made; a much earlier and unpretentious low-budget one
which was actually quite funny and the recent one that I didn't
like one bit.

The recent one. I never knew another existed.

The BBC radio version was the original version (before the book).
I'm a purist, so that one tends to be my favorite. On an aviation
related note, the radio version of the Hitchhikers' Guide is what has
been playing in my cockpit for the last 5 or 6 flight hours. I have
all 5 series on .mp3.
