My $30 round trips to BID just to spend a 1/2 hour on the beach and grab a
burger are gone. That's now a real consideration at around $100. Combination
of gas prices and the push for ethanol. Both somewhat related to Iraq which,
even though it's not in reality related to 9/11, has been decreed to be.

And with my balky radio and not-always-so-great handheld, I wouldn't go near
DC. They might shoot all 1500 pounds of me out of the sky.

"Nuclear" (rather "newcular") is also in the news every friggin' day, just
like when I was a kid my kids age.

I consider those things to be very significant changes in my life. Maybe I'm
just being too damn sensitive.

I gather you don't fly around D.C. much, and it doesn't sound like you
fly commercially very often.

You know, I've heard this a lot, since 9/11, and I'm tired of it. GA
flying in the DC area (other than in the prohibited areas around the
Mall) requires an ADIZ flight plan. You make a phone call, get a
squawk code, and go.
