Because, last week my wife and I were blessed with a beautiful daughter, 7lb 8oz in historic language, both fit and healthy. Father foolishly has business commitments until July 08, add those 2 up and its no or very little fun time! I will be west in the new year, I shall drop in. It had better be good! Another topic, blaniks would make heaps of beer cans, the beer always tastes good. You just couldnt work on the damn things. and further, http://www.birdstrike.org/commlink/top_ten.htm #11 says a feathered friend got smacked at FL37 - probably snap frozen!
