I got your letter with a $25,000 check made out to cash. Do you want me to send it back?

Keep it! You're one of the few people on the board who isn't sick of my **** by now, and I'm grateful.

Baz, yes, I expect so. But every time I watch that video I see something else that's just pretty amazing. (for instance, watch his/her toes curl up just as his/her feet touch down.)

Peter - you have perfectly summed up my education, and the subsequent Dunning-Kruger effect that is often on display here with my various postings.

No they were not!

If you listen closely you’d know that when Jets land they sound just like swans.

Sheesh.

I was at a local park the other day when three swans landed on the partially frozen pond at the same time.

Holy man, what a racket! Sounded like the Blue Angels all over again!

Sorry about that, Bob....my hearing isn't that great.

I was just trying to verify what I thought I heard.

No. Really. I apologize.

Sarcasm got the best of me at your expense.

I’ll do better..

Somebody please post a video of a cormorant taking off. They flap and paddle for so long it reminds me of a F 84 trying to break the bonds with Mother Earth.

You are SUCH an enabler! Don't buy any more projects. I don't have time.
