That's it, dcp! I never thought to google.
The balloon landing wasn't bad. It dropped the last 10-15 feet pretty abruptly into a field. With cows. We were fairly close to a dirt road and the chase car got there in short order.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My one ride in a 12-seater had us touching down in Peoria simultaneously with the tornadoes our pilot had been trying to avoid on the way in. Bobbing up and down like a cork with a drunk stanger passed out on your shoulder does not enhance the flying experience.

ita, I don't think I get it. You want a picture thread? Or all threads to sometimes have pictures? Or?
I don't feel any special need for pictures here. But I suppose I haven't tried it and might get to liking it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just caught up on last night's Colbert Report, and I think the end of the interview with James Franco is one of the most adorable geek out moments EVAH

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It IS, Lee!

ita, Melissa Harris Perry had a piece on what the Harlem Shake is, what it really isn't, its history, who first put it on video (P Diddy in the 90s), and so on. [link]
I hope your cold clears up quickly.
All this plane talk is making me nostalgic. Stupid inner ears.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Was it here that people were talking about Ainsley from West Wing/chick who was on CSI Miami? Man, her face. Not good.
Yes and yes.
Why didn't we enable pictures here in the first place? Was there a technical reason, or just cultural? Because I do love a reaction-gif, but am not sure how I'd feel about them here.

I had a lovely balloon flight, and a really impressively soft landing. Just before we descended, the pilot said, "You know the money that you paid me for this flight? This is where I EARN it." And he did.
This was in the desert outside Phoenix, just after dawn, so it was as spectacular as you could want.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The text only pages are certainly more subtle in the work environment but I'm not opposed to a Buffistas Illustrated thread. ita, is this about not wanting to post links to images or how mobile devices deal with the links or something else?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've always wanted to ride in a plane like that. And in a Piper Cub. Smalles plane I flew in was a Cessna 152 (a two-seater).
My favorite small plane ride was in a Beaver. (The Beaver is a bush plane.) We rode in one equipped with floats to a remote fishing cabin on a lake in Ontario.
Hear's a Beaver: [link] The one we flew in was built during WWII. They are still extensively used in Canada and Alaska.
