Thanks, Dave.  It's truly disheartening to hear that you've dropped out of

flying altogether -- but I know you're not alone.   (Don't worry -- the 
Fly-In Pool Party will continue as long as we own the hotel!)

I can see why you've dropped out, though. My son and I just got back from
a 
three-day custom car show in Des Moines.  There were thousands of people
in 
attendance, and you could literally walk for days and never see the same
car 
twice.

More im****tantly (and to the point) for about 10% of what I've spent on 
aviation over the years, we could own many of the coolest, most
tricked-out 
collectible cars at that show.  I will never become as excited about cars
as 
I am about airplanes, but it's easy to see why "normal" people might
choose 
to go that route.
