Sympathy like. Whenever I take the express bus down the highway into the city, it drags on for miles--looks just like your photo--so much for "express" bus service?!! :eek:

On Tuesday when I had the clothing store closer, on our side of town, it was backed up about 1.5 miles further...!!! :eek:
I called the owner and let him know I was probably gonna' be about 15 mins. late. He said no problem. Through the use of a different route, and a little "creative" :cautious: ;) driving, I got there only 2 mins. Late...! :)

My ds built a Lego Rubik's cube solver. It actually works. :eek:He also has the snake, the pyramid, ones that are 9x1, etc. He wanted every type of those puzzles one year.:rolleyes: Can't complain about it though. At least it made him think.;)

My DD loved all things puzzles too. She figured them out pretty quickly no matter how they were to be manipulated. My DS and I...well lets just say we don't care for such things, we look at them as not a challenge but an annoyance. But she is my master builder, assembler, techie and fixer of all things broken. Just how she is wired. Lego's were one of her favorite toys.

I tried to multi quote the condolences messages, from a few of you, and it just did not turn out well. So I thank all of you. I found out that my friend died in his sleep, and there is some comfort in that. He had many health issues to overcome, and well maybe it was just his time. My dad always said that somewhere "upstairs" your end date is stamped, and nothing can change that. My friends name was Barry and he leaves behind a lot of friends and family who will indeed miss him, and not forget him.

That is true. However, there's something else to keep in mind. A small plane (such as a Cessna 152, two-seater), takes way less space on the ground to actually land.

Being a fan of flying like myself, you really should see if there's a place near you where you can go for a ride in a gyroplane. It probably won't be free of charge, but, it was well worth it, in my case!
Speaking to just the landing aspect, it was truly amazing...
We had a good headwind at about 700 ft. approaching the begining of the runway. He had reduced power to the point where it seemed like we were almost hovering. We then autorotated down some more, and he nosed it down for landing at a pretty steep angle. He then rounded it out just above the runway and we were at a dead stop on the ground in mere seconds! Sooo awesome...!!!!! :joyfull:
Depending on the wind, they can actually land (from main gear touchdown) in as little as the WIDTH of most runways...about 50 ft....!!! :)
I'm planning on booking another flight, soon...!!! :inlove:
