An incompetent, foolish, or stupid person. So basically MX? |

Hince it is said that the simularity between StarTrek and a roll of toilet tissue is that - both go around and around your Uranus looking for Klingons. Don't know how that would relate to spark plugs. |

Margy and I bailed out of Oshkosh early one year and flew down to Madison and rented a car there so we could do some touring of the Frank Lloyd Wright stuff in the area. Did you get to Racine? Lots of FLW stuff there, thanks to Johnson Wax. We had planned on doing a "flying week" around, but as Ron said Madison gave us "any runway" as there were level 5's just south and the weather stayed awful for the entire week, so we drove. We missed the tour of the Johnson Wax building, but did spend quite a bit of time at Wingspread where I struck up a conversation with the gardener. I now have ferns from the Wingspread garden in my garden :-). We met someone we voluteered with at OSH on the street in Chicago and general had a good time. A week later the weather cleared and we were flying home. We had a friend (instrument rated and all) who planned on leaving OSH a few hours after we bugged out and he ended up stuck on the field for days.

Both are typical FLW structures, however -- maintenance hogs that are completely impractical for human occupation.

Ouch... reminds me of a line from a Ron White stand up performance. He looked at the thermometer and it was reading zero. His wife asked him what the temperature was and he replied, "There isn't one..." My daughter (now a meteorlogist) called home from school to say degree(s) should not be singular!! Margy |
