Worms! Would I do that? I thought bats ate mosquitoes.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Snippy.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Mayor. Need that hot coffee this morning.

[SAMWolf]

No problem, Snippy. I'll just send "Vito" to "talk" to your cable company.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Feather.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning E.G.C.

[SAMWolf]

You're welcome ladtx. I always thought it would be interesting to speculate how history would have changed it Texas had stayed an independant Republic. Sounds like a good "Alternate History" topic

[The Mayor]

Morning, it's a cold snowy day here at the tip of lake erie.
wind is howlin and we expect 3-6 inches of new dandruff..

Hope your day is going well, I'm getting ready to slide out the door..

Good morning Sam. Bluebonnets, how pretty and appropriate for today. Thank you.

[snippy_about_it]

While you're at it have Vito talk to my boss too okay. LOL.

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Snippy.

Speaking of Texas history I would highly recommend T.R. Fehrenbach's, Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans. I have read, and re-read it several times. It is one of the few history books that reads like a novel.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Good morning Aeronaut. Okay, is that a helicopter plane?

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for the recommendation ladtx.

[Aeronaut]

Okay, is that a helicopter plane?

It's a Pitcairn Autogyro.

Picture in flight (big).

[SAMWolf]

Should I have Vito bring his bat?

[SAMWolf]

I remember seeing this contraption before. Forerunner to the Osprey?

[Aeronaut]

Forerunner to the Osprey?

I doubt it. This thing is from the early thirties. I may be wrong, but I don't think the rotor is even connected to the engine. Autogyros are strange devices.
