I watch Jeeves and Wooster repeats every Saturday night on PBS. We have Black Adder on DVD. I love Black Adder.

I read this story in the New York Times today, about a tiny corporate jet that was flying over somewhere in the Amazon. Something hit it- clipped off the wing and the tail. They miraculously found a hidden military airstrip in the middle of the jungle, and landed. Hours later, they found out they were hit by the commercial airliner- which crashe in the jungle with no survivors. It should have been the other way around, logically. Some think that the pilot of the big commercial jet made a drastic move to avoid the collision- saving the small jet. Pretty...I don't know, incredible? Not everything is bad.

...but if it was a big commercial airliner, wouldn't it have maybe three or four times the number of people on it than the small jet?

I LOVE all this snake stuff.

Anyone watch "The Closer"? We are big fans.

My brother in law is forever persecuting us about watching "The Wire", also. We did watch one episode and liked it.

yes, there were over 100 people that died on that flight. It was just the article described the experience of the survivors.

very scary and strange.

Hi Drifters!

I posted an update on my pulmonary emboli treatment here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...051#post130051

Nanci - I read that article, too. It was chilling.

Wow, Lise - when it rains it pours, eh? You are quite the catch!

CC - have fun on your trip. Wine and chocolate - noble goals!!!

Ewwwww...

the Haz-Mat team is here right now cleaning up the apartment next door. My entryway looks like a staging area for a quarantine.

I guess it actually is, isn't it?

I'm eating lunch as fast as I can, then I'm gonna spend my day off in town. At the bike shop.

I hope all this is done before SKnot comes home.

Yikes Knot - am I mistaken or didn't that "incident" happen some time ago? Why are they just here now?
