I fly because of the joy it brings me. I will continue to fly when I
can, and consider myself very blessed to have been able to fly 3000
hours in the last 30 years. I will not let gas prices steal my joy. I
will not let fretting about the future of GA steal my joy. I will
consider each hour I fly in the future to be even more precious than
the last because of its increasing scarcity. I refuse to participate
in the gloom.

Well said, as always, Gene -- but I fear we can no longer exist in our
little bubble of joy. There are too many enemies afoot, all trying
to pop our bubbles, for us to simply go on whistling in the dark. We
need to act!

But you're right about the gloom -- for me, it's always short-lived,
and easily dispelled by my next flight!
