It's nice to hear another confess this fear and challenge. I trained
at all uncontrolled airports & was very concerned with being able to
line up on the proper runway if I went to an airport with more than
one. I would go to great efforts in pre-flight and in flight with an
airport map, making sure I knew where all the runways were before I
even contacted approach. I listened intently to the active in use on
ATIS before talking to tower or approach. Once or twice, though, I had
to ask for help nevertheless.
One time a few years ago, approaching Midland for the annual CAF
Airshow, I lined up for final at the wrong airport altogether! In
Midland there is a large airport on the northern side of town, easily
seen in the air. The proper airport, Midland International, was on the
south side. A minute or so after acknowleging my clearance to land,
ATC came back with a vector to Midland International saying; "no
worries, this happens several times a day." I was heading for the
wrong airport. It did not happen again when I repeated this flight the
following year!

Let me tell you a story, Ricky. One day I was approached and asked:

" As far as I know, Jesus didn't consider himself to be the Christ?

I answered:

"he did say it many times. I could site every instance, and provide
the idioms and show specific language translations from Koine Greek
to Syrian Aramaic and so forth.

Or you can take my word. I proved this point to a Pakistanian Surgeon
back in 1993, and have all the documentation still.

He was a hard core muslim until /then/.

Believers like me have thousands of untold acts of charity and
kindness which go unnoticed. But then you waterboard a couple of
people, and everyone notices.

Actually a third question...

Would you be willing to go to private email with me if the answer to
the above questions are "yes?"

Thanks,

Dr, Hotsalt

My life is so full, that I only have time to sleep 4 - 5 hours a
night, as there is so much to do, and so many places to be. To think
that these usenet games draw my attention...is laughable.

Now, my coffee is ready and I will go. In a few days when I return,
I will scan a few groups, see worthless noise which is attributed to
me, and skip over it. To the unwary it will appear that I have time
to argue with fools or care what they say.

Ta ta. Email me if you wish. Remove the "g" and insert a "d"
