smile. I always loved Carter. and wore a sweater with the heat turned down since long ago. my father discovered his energy speech then shorty after B's book and he read and passed it on to me. Yes, it is right out of that. Especially now the man should be front and center, yet he is still kept to the far side. If Obama is who he claims to be, he will speak the harsh truths of Carter. Maybe, just maybe, America is ready to listen.

With your large mind full of info, I will not be surprised if you already know of this gentleman. but we spoke last night of elderly fathers... mine was on the road yesterday and took a wrong turn and muttered to himself "wrong way corrigan" then couldn't quite remember why that was a phrase, so he googled it (he is getting savvy). He then sent off this article to all his children. I'd never heard of the man or the phrase before but I think he is a new hero of mine... I love this part - Approximately 26 hours into his flight, Corrigan claimed to have finally dropped down out of the clouds and noticed that he was over a large body of water. Knowing that it was too early to have reached the Pacific Ocean, Corrigan looked down at his compass--and because there was now supposedly more light to see by--suddenly noticed he "had been following the wrong end of the magnetic needle." Within a short time, Corrigan was over Ireland. He landed at Baldonnel Airport, in Dublin, after a 28-hour, 13-minute flight. centennialofflight.gov
