            That's like one thing. The movie's full of 'em, that was the whole conceit of it.

            Please love yourself.

                              This grasshopper is uncommon, but can be found in some grassy plains in the United States.

                                Last Halloween, I saw the most amazing thing: an albino squirrel, out in the wild. His hair was so bright he could be seen from half a block away. It's amazing he survived considering we have a massive bird sanctuary nearby.

                                Please love yourself.

                                        They were doing that sort of helicopter stuff on the Chicago post office renovation when we went on the river architectural tour. Fascinating.

                                          This popped up on my Memories of this date 11 years ago.

                                          This is what happens when you overload your plane with too many people, then try to land on a short runway at high elevation (3K+ feet) on a hot day.

                                          You have no chance, you are going into the trees.

                                          The pilot broke both legs and put 2 other guys into the hospital. I have flown that plane many times and I have flown with that pilot.

                                          Hot days can surprise you.

                                          This was middle of nowhere WV, I wouldn't be surprised if the plane was still there.
