We used to have a big air show in town and one year the Stealth flew in. I was on my deck power washing and happened to look up and the damn thing was flying directly over me on the approach to the airfield.

Scared the crap out of me at first...didn’t hear anything, it was moving slowly, and looked like it was 100 feet above me!

When I power washed the poo from the deck and my heart started beating normally I thought, “how cool was that!” and if I were a villager in Afghanistan and saw that I’d pledge my allegiance to the American flag!

we live close to Dulles airport, which is right by the Udvar-Hazy Center, part of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

once in a while they'll have classic aircraft exhibits, so we'll see lots of older planes fly above our neighborhood

back in April it was British WW2 aircraft and we had an Avro Lancaster and a Spitfire fly by

but the COOLEST! was when they flew the space shuttles. Enterprise out, Discovery in. was able to look out my office window and see Enterprise being flown out. MAN, that was cool

I remember chuckling at people calling the Great Lakes the ocean when I was on a trip to Door county WI, but when it is like that the name fits.

Folks call the Gulf of Mexico the Ocean all the time. Drives locals nuts.

In 1984 I got to see the Space Shuttle land piggy-back on a 747 at Brookley Field in Mobile. We sat at the end of the runway on the beach on our bicycles.

Just drove a long drive. Left at 10:45pm and arrived in Panama City Beach at 6:30pm. Too many long stops.

My view looking east...

 

[Schlenkerla]

West and straight out.

Being an ass is ok, just don't be a smelly one.

Oh, I thought that was a big turtle with its shell painted red.

/I need another beer.

It is sort like clouds there maybe more then one creature to be found.

As soon as I posted it looked more like the worlds largest tadpole.

I'm sure the selling points include "provides audio and tactile feedback"

You're probably correct. It has to have some means of changing the prostate.

CSB:
When I turned 50, I went in for a colonoscopy. The doctor and the nurse assisting were both "all business" but nice and very professional. They even set up a second video monitor so I could watch the probe do its Fantastic Voyage thing. After the procedure was complete and I got a clean bill of health from the doc, he said, "that wasn't bad, was it?" I replied, "No, but now I know how the Muppets feel." Both the doc and nurse busted out laughing.

 

[GrogNerd]

had an endoscopy at same time as my colonoscopy so they knocked me completely out

now that I say that, I hope they used a different scope for each procedure, or at least did the endoscope first

 

[GrogNerd]

& have to add, the PREP was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than the procedure

 

[Wash1]

& have to add, the PREP was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than the procedure

I AGREE wholeheartedly!!!!
