Did you fry it or roast it? :-)


There was considerable doubt for a while as to who was above whom on the food
chain. Fortunately, several blows from my all-in-one copy of the Bourne
Trilogy convinced the beast to retreat.

Later that night, I thought I heard screams from another campsite. Did anyone
hear about any missing persons from the North 40?

Spiders? We have been overrun by earwigs every year. Shook a dozen of
them out of our luggage. Went to put air in the tires one year and
found a pile of them inside the hubcap (how the hell did they get in there).

Next year, I'll send Godzilla the Spider over to your tent.

You just better hope you have enough earwigs to fill him up.

Idiots in cars. This is especially a problem in the North 40 where
one of the entrances to the show is that gate at the Hilton Garden
Inn and they drive around that perimeter road/taxiway at high speed
with reckless abandon. I almost got collided with one taxiing the
Navion over there Sunday afternoon.

Last time I camped there (and too close to the road) it seemed to
progress unabated all night long.

Usually, we run into a few rude pilots/attendees. The only one
was the idiot Bonanza pilot parked pretty much abeam the P-51
wreckage scene who insisted he couldn't push his plane downhill
to the "burn line" before starting (we offered as many people
as he needed to help) as we weren't letting people fire up as
the crowds were still heavy oggling the cleanup. Oddly, a Baron
in the next row had no problem moving himself to the line.
