Jacob did a nice job in 430, I nearly landed in the field east of Italy with 215(the other glider mentioned) although while I was climbing over him at .8 knots I didn't notice any police cars. 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'.
