<< P is orangey red color, with some bluish streaks. BTW, what is BWDIK? Thanks, Alex [edit: And Ish].>> Bruised kidneys or some really bad tequila. BWDIK? But what do I know?

I have a toothpaste that looks sorta like that. If your P really does look like you say, the kidneys are back on the watch list. Drink more. :-)

My brother-in-law soars in sailplanes. So does Mike Sphar. They can indeed hold two. Blue pee? You been in the food dye again? Too many blueberries?

Gaugs, please update us on the Blue P story. We're concerned and maybe a little bit curious.

G, Just one word. Safety. Anytime you are more than 6 feet from the earth mother, you are in mortal danger. Don't matter the circumstances or the vehicle. Firebreathing engines tend to burn up the remains after a crash, but then one probably won't walk away from most crashes. Gliders are cool. If you are three dimensional by nature. Check first, do roller coasters turn you on or off ? I think of gliders in terms of unguided roller coasters. If that's cool goferit. The typical FBO glider port uses old Switzer 2-32 gliders for rides. These are rugged ancient machines, wide enough for a reasonably sized deuce in the back seat. Bubble canopy. Field of vision is awesome. I was hooked before my first ride. Something I knew deep within. Our pilot dialed into that, I think, and we lucked out on a fabulous day to spend an extra 20 minutes or so chasing soaring buzzards. It was all laughs and smiles til after the end. Seems I was quite a bit hung over from the night before and the approach chandelles gave me more than a memory to savor afterwards. Didn't lose it mind you, just wished that I did. Shortly thereafter I started the pilot regimen and immediately ran out and bought a ship, an irrational and overpowering lust for wings. Haven't flown much these past 10 years but every once in a while I get the urge and go commit acts of aviation.
