There were 3 with Jacob when I went overhead. |

Yeah, an' not only do they got more accurate an enterainin' reporters down there, but in that same 'lectronic paper, I done noticed you can get a whole house, with 3 bedrooms and new paint inside and out for only $65,000 down there. Also if'n you is gettin' close to cashin' in yer chips, you can get 2 cemetery plots for only $600 a piece. Not bad compared to Cali., it gots me thinkin'. Signed, X The Gapa Geezer |

Look at that Sky! *It's amazing that we can land out on a day like that. (Been there and done that!) I swear that EVERY time I land out, the sky always looks great - from the ground that is. I have pictures to prove it. Happened just last Sunday. Looks can be deceiving. |

More often than not, I'm also treated to the "mocking thermal" which dusts me and my ship down about 15 minutes after the land-out. |

Yeah, Mike, and, if I remember correctly, your water dump lever broke and
you had to land with a load of water. Made quite a mud hole on the dirt strip before we could get the wings off... ;=P "Mike C" wrote in message ...
