That's the town I live in in the background......little ol' Omak

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Hey Chuck, I don't want you to think I'm too wierd, but this pic reminds me of that fantastic movie back in the 80's inspired by some kids from Fresno... The Outsiders, when, ( Ralph Machio's character), Johnny said;

Johnny: Ponyboy, I asked the nurse to give you this book so you could finish it.The doctor came in a while ago but I already knew it anyway.I keep getting tireder and tireder.Listen,I don't mind dying now.It was worth it. It was worth saving those kids.Their lives are worth more than mine,they have more to live for.Some of the parents came by to thank me and I know it was worth it.Tell Dally it was worth it.I'm just gonna miss you guys. I've been thinking about it,and that poem , that guy that wrote it , he meant you are gold when you're a kid,like green. When you're a kid everything is new , dawn. It's just. When just when you get used to everything it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets,Pony. That's Gold. Keep it that way,it's a good way to be.I want you to tell Dally to look at one.He'll probably think you're crazy , but ask for me. I don't think he's ever really seen a sunset.And don't be bugged over being a greaser. You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still alot od good in the world.Tell Dally. I don't think he knows. Your Buddy, Johnny

Too weird? Roll Eyes

Beautiful shot Chuck.

My memory is bad, but I know I have not seen that one. I've only seen Machio in Karate Kid, Crossroads (great movie btw), and My Cousin Vinny. Joe Seneca should have gotten an Oscar for Crossroads.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
