Return of the honor system
I assumed the honor system had disappeared around
the time the Eisenhower era did. But this isn't so. The FAA, whom I'm starting to like more and more is still using it. You can have an LSA that goes 300mph if you promise not to go over 138mph in straight and level flight. I promise. --- Mark |

You can have a LSA that is certified by the manufacturer to have a maximum speed in level flight at sea level of 120 knots at maximum continuous power. You are on the honor system to not execeed maximum continuous power, which can be a specified power as opposed to an actual, it will blow up, maximum. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Yeah, what a memory. There we were, shoulder to shoulder my hands in my pants, on the football field, even though it was before a baseball game, packed in like sardines. Me, my teddy bear and soon-to-be-dead Tiger Boy, my pussycat. The smell of cannabis filled the air. I don't smoke, it draws out my manic depression. This special night was different from the Grand Funk Railroad or the Three Dog Night or Liberace concerts I never attended there. In my mind, I was. On the football field, where they were awaiting to play a Braves game. In May when NFL football didn't play. 1973 National Football League season Regular season Duration *September 16, 1973 - December 16, 1973* https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...973_NFL_season At one point the lights went total black-out, then suddenly the entire room and immediate area (closet) were drenched in blue light. I began to sing "My Room" by the Beach Boys because I sure as **** wasn't at Fulton County Stadium on May 4th, 1973. Nothing but blue. Next came the "smoke" of dry ice. It was like London fog in blue. I guess, never been out of South Carolina, The Mississippi of the East. Yes it was "Stairway to Heaven" time. Boy was I suprised at what came next. Tiger Boy jumped on my Philco and killed the turntable. this was the day I decided to kill him. Suddenly I released hundreds and hundreds of white fleas! It didn't quite work out as planned. Except for the few that momentarilly circled, they basically just flew away. **** me again. But there was no disappointment. Those first few notes of "Stairway" took us where I needed to be. Up the stairs to the cool breasts of my Mommy. There, in the moment listening to the most famous song in the world. I turned and looked at my Mommy, Judy ( "Judy blue eyes"), and she said... "Mark, get your goddamned hands off my tits and go to sleep. You have school in the morning". my son is a freak --- Mark |
