Sorry to steer the thread off course...just had a phrase trigger me into another dimension....lol. I know for a fact that there are more great people out there doing all they can to help new pilots get started in this hobby...its just funny how the ones that are too set in their ways stick in your mind.

I live in central MS, just northeast of Jackson...it snows here about once every five years or so....people dont think twice about going jogging when the heat index pushes 110F...but freak out when a little frozen stuff is on the ground...it sleeted so much last year that there was a layer about an inch thick covering the ground. It happened around 9am...out of the blue. Businesses started shutting down putting everyone on the road headed home. I cant tell you how many people I saw in the ditch on my way home...Even the schools shut down. Was pretty funny...
