People are often a lot different in meatspace.

My Dad told me about people he worked with having 'Bakelite Bravery' -
i.e. they could yell and scream and swear at people over the phone, but
would never do it face to face. Made me chuckle, I've seen that a lot in
USENET.

There was actually a psychology study performed on this subject that I read
about some time ago. The researchers gathered data on what cyber-citizens
thought of each other: how they thought each other looked and various
quantifiable personality traits.

After compiling the data, the researchers had the cyber-citizens meet in
meatspace then interviewed the citizens again.

It is no surprise to me that what people *thought* other people were like in
real life were not even close to reality.

A notable exception in this group is Mr. Honeck here. He's as "real" in
meatspace as he is in real life. That's a compliment, Mr. Jay.

On the other hand, most of you probably think I'm a studly, low-wing kinda
guy with redneck tendencies that tall, blonde, supermodels dig. In real
life I'm . . . Well, that's pretty accurate.

Never mind.

Hee hee!

Last night "Doug" -- a fellow from out west who flies a Husky on amphibious
floats (he hangs out mostly in .owning and .student) -- quite literally
dropped in out of the blue, on his way to a floatplane fly-in out east.

When he called the Inn from the airport, he was ****ed that I wasn't going
to be around for a couple of days. He got over that in a hurry, when we
picked him up at the terminal, drove him over to our hangar, and there were
a bunch of people actually grilling out and drinking beer, just like I
always talk about! (Bill and Sharon, a couple who flew in from Maryland in
their gorgeous Luscombe, were there, too. Bill's a retired United Air Lines
pilot, and Sharon is a *gasp* IRS employee who also owns here own Luscombe.
They actually own THREE Luscombes! But I digress...)

As he chewed his barbecue chicken sandwich, Doug seemed sort of befuddled by
it all, in a good way. He even mentioned that he wasn't sure if I had made
up EVERYTHING, from the Inn, to my kids, to Mary, to Atlas -- and he seemed
like he really couldn't believe that it all actually EXISTED!

We had a great time! (What a COOL plane he's got! Talk about a
go-anywhere machine!)

Some people are pretty disappointed that I'm actually what I seem to be....

Well, you got most of that right... :-)

So are you doin' any flying, or what? Don't even tell me you're back on
the ground for another year!

Ya right.

Still a bottom dweller at the moment but things are ever-so-slowly looking
up. My business has survived the past three years. If I can weather that,
I oughta be able to weather anything.

So, perhaps this year. Perhaps not. Until then, I'll just keep looking up.

"Daddy, what is Bakelite?" ...only joking, I've been around long enough.

Bakelite to Meatspace, that's quite a span of time. Ain't it great?
