NNNNNNEARRRRMMMMMMMMMM

The title is the "spelling" of the noice and airplane "makes". Why would i start out this post with a childish spelling? good reason. Christmas. I think ill explain. For christmas my father got a friend to take our family (in 2 waves) up in a little airplane. It was SUPER cool. there we were cruiseing at 1000-2000 feet. It was pretty cool. the funny thing is that were were travelling not much faster than some of the traffic on the "World Famous Alaska Highway" below us. The one thing about that elevation that is the most interesting was the what we will call 'forshortening' (check it out yourself I think it could be correct). Where there were hills or valleys or anything tall or hilly, they didnt look near as hilly. For example, the area I did some haying at had hills all over and it was a pain. but from the air if i wouldnt have known how steep it was i wouldnt have guessed. but overall the flying experience was excellent. And the other Christmas things were good as well. My "nerdy" presents i got were a stand thing for my laptop so it doesnt overheat (this one even rotates) and a USB 2.0 memory stick/flash drive/jump drive/ect. . but the cool thing about this one, 1 gig. yep 1 gigabyte, 1,024 Megabytes, 1,048,576 Kilobytes, 1,073,741,824 Bytes, 8,589,934,592 Bits. Thats quite a bit of stuff for a devise smaller than a finger. wow, i think that is all for now. I guess in the spirit of christmas i will let you all off with only a small waste of time. have a great holiday,
Ian

Yes, flying in little airplanes is something that I think is even cooler than flying in the big ones. Um... was going to actually comment something of substance but I forgot what it was. Random thought, I found that one Usher music video with the sweet car that I like and it's "U Remind Me", it's right after a cool dance scene. That's all I can think of for now. Cya
