I tried to recruit Dudley as a chauffeur, but he is on vacation, so I used the white cane method. That did not work out too good, so it was the "one eye open" technique. It might also give me and alibi when it comes to criticism over my composition. -- Regards, Savageduck |

OK, OK, I have to admit, the SI is going to need recruits from the digital groups to keep number up. I guess I ignore the trolls at about the same level as Alan. You should ignore them all. Better yet: filter out the whole world, leave only the voices. Then maybe the SI will have the end it richly deserves: not a single attendant! |

I spent a week on Martha's Vineyard and asked my son and niece to throw darts at a map of the island. They did in fact find three locations, two of them very nice. We had to rethrow, though, since a couple of shots ended up in the middle of the island, right on the airport's runway. I can't get there, so we tried again. I was on a bicycle all week, so if I couldn't reach the location on a bike, I had to retry. |

We had to rethrow, though, since a couple of shots ended up in the middle of the island, right on the airport's runway. Been in the middle of that runway (24-06 anyway) ... we flew a bunch of airplanes (7 or 8) and camping gear to MV (back in the late 80's) and landed at a private strip right off Farm Neck Golf Club. We camped right there with the airplanes. (I was an instructor then, but flew down with a fellow who owned an airplane but still didn't have his license. Trip included a failed mike (landing at Provindence - they even remembered how to use signal lights (I had to look up the codes [blush]) - to see if we could find a replacement mike). Kinda cool landing at a controlled airport with jet traffic when I can hear them, but they assume I can't hear them so they flash lights at me [no delay either, right smart about it; wish Canadian controllers were a little more proactive]. Enter the VFR pattern (in the queer American manner) and taxi in ...). After a couple days we flew over to the main MV airport for fuel and lunch. Overwhelmed the poor waitress/cook at the snack bar who called her boss. When her boss showed up, the waitress/cook drove off...! Boss did great though... We then did a mass flyoff from RWY 24 (all airplanes at once with about 200' spacing...). -- gmail originated posts are filtered due to spam. |

We then did a mass flyoff from RWY 24 (all airplanes at once with about 200' spacing...). I've never flown into (as a passenger) MV. The only airport I've ever flown to or from is the Katama field, and only on a bi-plane tourist flight. Love those grass runways. One of my darts landed right on Katama. Stupid fact #1: One of my darts landed near the harbor at Menensha, where the local Coast Guard facility used to be. It burned down yesterday, but I didn't get any shots of it prior to it burning since I was not in visual range. I've got a couple of shots from years ago, but, well, you know... The entire facility was destroyed, along with a significant portion of the wooden pier. That harbor is currently quite a mess. |

And yes: the next "step" is emails and posts advising everyone to "killfile trolls". Understand now what a little cog you are? Bummer, eh? Ah well, intelligence is not ubiquitous. Thank God for that! |
