                   My Dragon Fly and Me 
                 
                    
                   
                   
                   If I could be a Dragon Fly   and wing my way through the sky   I would never be shy   just me and my Dragon Fly!  
                 
                  
                   By moonlight we ride the wind   chase the comets tail for fun   by day we would hide from the sun   our fragile wings would come undone  
                 
                  
                    On darkest nights we would use   fireflies as our guide   we would dip and we would glide   through the heavens open wide   and scatter diamonds in the night sky  my Dragon Fly and me... 
                 
                  
                   And we would wing past our lovers   silent in the night...   to kiss their face in our flight   much to their surprise and delight   my Dragon Fly and me in sight...  
                 
                  
                  
                    Such a view do we share   away up here in the air   of breezes soft through our hair   my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Air-To-Ground Speeding Ticket
Latest California radar detection system...
Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, California. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.
     
The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset, and then it turned off.
     
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.
     
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:
     
     
Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.
        
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
        
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.
        
Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.
        
The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.
        
Thank you for your concern.
Semper Fi.
