Plane crashes into tree
"Peter Dohm" wrote Stay tuned, the same voting block has been moving in. However, you may get a repreive for a few years due to the end of the current real estate boom. True, I had not considered the Flor-idiots that have been moving to NC in record numbers. As far as the current real estate boom ending, it sure has not ended around my area, yet. Builders have a hard time finding enough skilled tradesmen. -- Jim in NC |

No, it's analogous to saying that parking a car in a garage isn't the same as cruising down the highway. The difference between cruise and approach (and departure, which is also often hand-flown) is much less than the difference between cruising (in a car) and parking. The cruise/approach difference is more analogous to driving on a straight multi-lane superhighway versus a narrow country road with curves. This analogy is actually quite good. If the highway is very, very straight and there is no wind and you get it lined up just so you can probably take your hands off the wheel for a few tens of seconds. But you think that the mechanics of driving or flight somehow magically change during cruise (or in a bigger airplane) in such a way that you can safely crawl into the back seat and take a nap you are badly mistaken, notwithstanding that there exist video games whose behavior supports (indeed is the basis of) your opinion. rg |

That'd be for a custom designed and relatively elaborate home. Most are of the cookie cutter variety. There are thousands of ready made plans that can easily have minor mods done.

Most of our larger subdivisions are like that even with home running near a million dollars. They really move through those inexpensive 300 to 500 thousand dollar ones. :-)) I'm retired. Even the cheap ones are out of my bracket. Now to develop a subdivision with the required studies would, or could easily take years and if some one on the planning board, EPA, or local DNR has it in for you then figure on a few court dates as well.

His remarks refered to the development of subdivisions. A small one might be all one type, meaning apartments, townhouses, or single family homes--although even some of the smaller developments are currently a mix of commercial (on the first floor(s)) and apartments above. Increasingly, medium and larger developments include shopping, professional offices, and one or two of the housing types. Basically, even medium sized developments have taken on characteristics of planned communities--which I personally dislike because of the restrictions, and added costs, placed on the individual unit owners. He was definitely not talking about the construction of a few individual units--whether on spec or to order. Peter |

Might they also be more properly called "stove bolts"?
For those who don't know "Farmer Bolts", they are coarse threaded, square headed bolts. |

Here's the unaltered photo. http://www1.airliners.net/open.file/0480799/L/ There's a flying club that has a similar decoration in Australia. I've got a picture of it somewhere I'll put up. In Harrison MI, right across the road from the restaurant on the airport is the "Crash landing Bar". They have a 150 stuck in the roof. I'll try to find a photo of that one. Yes, it looks fake as they just simply used external angle iron braces to hold it in place. Still, it gets drivers attention particularly being right across the road from the airport.
