Super Sunday for Super Conservatives
Warning to all our readers: Do not attempt to fly over the Super Bowl on Sunday. There could be life-changing repercussions: Air Force says it will shoot Super Bowl TFR violators. Nuts. Just one more experience that I will never have thanks to Islamic terrorists...well, if I wanted to. When I was at the airport the other day I thought about how we would amuse our kids for hours by taking them out there and going all over the concourses and letting them watch the big planes up close. Then, we would ride the train around the terminal. The kids loved it, and it was great entertainment all for the price of parking your car. No more.
On to the Super Bowl.... I don't have the time or expertise to elaborate, but I'm picking the Steelers over the Seahawks by two in a game to be decided in the final minutes. Part of the reason is sentimental, so the pick is not entirely with logic, and you would be crazy to make any bets based upon what I say. (I picked the Braves and Red Sox to be in the last World Series--another misguided sentimental pick.) This site by CBS Sports has more on the game, and you can track the game play-by-play with all the statistics here.
I'm sorry to report that no liberals will be able to enjoy the game, as their lives are consumed with fretting over President Bush, the military, capitalism, and, mainly, the fact that they are not in power. For the rest of you, tell us your pick and enjoy the game on Sunday. We can go one evening without worrying about the world.

Back when I was learning to fly, I went up one time when the University of Kansas was having a football game (I was a student there at the time). It was great fun to fly over the stadium during the game.
But then the game was over and this explosion of aircraft came out of the Lawrence airport heading in all directions. KU always had a lot of planes come in for the game, as many of its alumni were farmers with aircraft. After the game, I'm not sure all these guys were sober.
So when the air filled with these guys, I flew over to a far part of the county, got down low, and circlead around watching them go over for awhile before daring to go back and land.

One time, when I was at the Auburn-Alabama game in Legion Field in Birmingham, a small plane flew into the bowl and down the field below where we sat before pulling up and landing at the airport. After landing, they received as much surprise as they caused us to have.
