So let me get this straight – you crashed into the trees in the dark; you found yourself hanging upside down in wreckage that was hanging in the trees and on fire.  So then you simply ‘slide’ out of the wreckage and went running through the woods in the dark directly to Tracy’s house, to get water to put the fire out.

 

OK; I guess that pretty much happens every dayJ.

 

I want you in my airplane every time I go up.

 

Really sorry about your plane; but it is so-o-o great that the story has such a good bright spot in it.

 

All the best,

 

Al
