From a Letter to the Editors of AvWeb

[Dave Underwood]

A moment for a bit of philosophy of life:

1) "you get what you got and if you don't like it, change something! If you can't change it, or won't change it, move on and do something else."

2) You can always vote differently the next time, but the results will still be largely the same.

3) NATIVE WISDOM -A Cherokee chief is teaching his grandson about life.

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a
terrible fight and it is between two wolves."

"One is evil: he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority,
self-doubt, and ego."

"The other is good: he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith."

"This same flight is going on inside you, and inside every
other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked
his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."

An interesting thought!

4) Friday I paid the equivalent of $10.45 US per US gallon for fuel plus $40 US to land at Sywell - UK landing fees are great.

OK, I may moan at the cost of stuff and taxes etc., but I am alive, well, healthy and get to fly a Skymaster whenever I want.

What else would someone really want?

OK, there are a few things, but all considered, things are not that bad.
