I'm back from the Marxist EU. I was an interesting trip. Missed the Conclav=
e due to heavy snow in Frankfurt which had me stranded at the airport for a=
bout 26 hours. My girlfriends flight was diverted to Amsterdam for a few ho=
urs but she beat me to Rome. Different flights since we used Miles for one =
ticket.=20

It was cold and wet but we adapted and made the most of the trip. The Vatic=
an, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Colosseum, Forum, Florance and a visit t=
o my brother who lives in Lucca (Tuscany). He is taxed at 70% on his job as=
 a garbage collector and if he charges to fix small engines and electronics=
, his passion like mine for flying and building, he is taxed at 80%. Geesh.=
 He "heats" his home with wood and tells me he does better than most his fr=
iends. He has been there since he was 15 and will turn 50 in August. He is =
a good solid family man, married 31 years with two kids. Fighting the good =
fight with the statist against him.=20

He is envious that I can build and fly my own aircraft. Everything there is=
 so overly regulated. I sympathize with our EU brothers and sisters trying =
to build and fly over there.=20

Now that I am back y'all can start discussing rotary aircraft again. Seems =
it has been quiet without me :-)
