Beautiful shots, albeit sandwitched between
an offer for Chinese Copper Foil in 20 micron thicknesses, and
something about making my Sea Cucumber bigger. (I may not have
translated that last one right)

I think I get every get-rich-never, penis-swelling, African banker type email
there is, but the Chinese Copper Foil is a new one to me. Perhaps thats a good
thing. Glad you liked the photos of the Rainbow - she was definitely a lovely
bird. (What did you think of her, Dave..?)

WRT the copper foil, it might be an Engineer Thing. I also get
invitations to Trade Shows in Dubai. Ah, Dubai... Just like Las
Vegas, but with no casinos, booze, naked women, or the Nellis Traffic
Pattern. If I wanted that, I'd go to White Sands. At least there you
can shoot off rockets.



Thanks much, and good luck with the unpacking.

Trucking right along. Granted, there isn't much "unpacking" in a house this
size! I rather miss the expansiveness of an Austin suburb.

Have you gotten over the "sitting sideways in the van with the cargo
door slid back" phase yet? Sets a bad example for the kids.

Hell no. Never. On the trip out here, a RR track snuck up on me and
before I knew it, our heavily laden sedan was soaring free through the hot
Tucson sky. Crashing back to earth a short distance away, the car was filled
with various shocked responses to the unexpected flight and heavy landing. As
I let out a typical ex-Navy version of, "My, how exciting!", my 3-year old
squealed, "DO IT AGAIN!" She has the gene, man!

Indeed, she has The Nature. Is Rescue Swimming hereditary?
As I've been rebuilding the Mighty Wurlitzer (The multi-platform
Flight Sim, the coordinating node of which died in last Spring's
meltdown), My 11 year old has been "flying chase". Not too bad, but
I'm working up the Mosquito, and she prefers the B-70. "Dad, can't
you make that thing go any faster?" I pity the poor boys when she
starts dating.

(The 8-year old adjusted his glasses and suggested I be more careful.
Definitely does NOT have the gene...)

Sounds like one of my younger brothers. He was definitely the White
Sheep of the family.
