I had to land in a wheat field. Excitement, but
no injuries or damage. I had to truck the plane
to the Perryville, MO, airport for reassembly.
Corn-gratulations on your successful off-airport landing.

I am now hoping that 2007 is a bit more boring,
and lot less expensive than 2006.
Amen. Boring is good. And "expensive" calls to
mind a Scottish word I recently ran across in the dictionary:
Main Entry: wae·sucks
Pronunciation: 'wA-"s&ks
Function: interjection
Etymology: Scots wae woe (from Middle English wa) + sucks,
alteration of English sakes -- more at WOE
Scottish -- used to express pity [like "Alas!"]
