                                                           Headpieces                     I have scrupulously avoided putting in pix of moi on this blog.                           I say if you are going to break precedent, SMASH it!                                                          Six of Scooter*       Vain of me, for sure. But I have such cute hats, I simply must  show off         my  millinery.**         And of course, my collection of Tees. But seriously, folks ....  This is another ...

Flying off the meadow

Trial Hops ** Learning to fly your newly assembled gyroglider, you want to take short, experimental hops. Maybe in a meadow, not a real airport. I built one in 1969. (That's not it above; mine was just like it.)  My son Guy was the only one to get off the ground in it. This is about my first trial YouTube hops... Metaphorically Speaking...

That fine figger of a pixel pixie (I just can't help it) above is the logo of the iMac version of Spider Solitaire. Her name is Spider Mac.
