Bet it is a thrill to bore holes through the air over that country. Old airplane driver myself, no longer do it, but held a SEL commercial ticket for many years. erg

ORCL reports after close. Can't see much conviction going into that, longs or shorts. Do options effects get stronger or weaker as we approach expiration day in a systematic way? Never seen any commentary on that.

Earlie, re:<<Yet there are times when I am crossing this land, either by car or even better in my little plane, when I look at its immensity , its staggering beauty, its breathtaking geography, and when I meet with the mostly superb folks that it has nurtured, I feel truly blessed. (You KNOW I am getting on in life when I dare commit such feelings to print). (g)>> as eddie said, beautifully expressed. as a native of FL, recently (6 yrs ago) moved to WA, seeing FL ravaged by over-population, development and crime (still can't figure out why so many canadians like it) i am planning on loading the camper on the back of the pick-up and spending the summer in the outback of BC and yukon (would actually like to buy and build a cabin in the mts. of BC for a getaway in the summer). as you said, with age, and i'm not far behind you, i find getting away from the hoards and being in "vast" territories is much more appealing, one of my son-in-laws is a pilot for twa (soon to be american). my daughter and he are going to visit next month and hope to rent a small plane to "explore" a little. he's been flying since his teens (his father was a twa pilot too). originally from maine and flew a small plane as a teen scouting for fishing boats. he has flown about everything except 747's, 777's, 767's but still like the small planes. well, this is a bit OT, but as a longtime, somewhat of a lurker, i'd again like to thank you, heinz, MB, CB, AA, and all the rest on luc's thread <G> for a very profitable 1st quarter. i've made more $$ this quarter than any year as a gen. contractor in south FL. thanks guys Bill/WA
