Red Phone: Motorized aircraft at parks
"Like many people, I enjoy the exhilarating hobby of building and flying radio control model airplanes, but not every one does. On Feb. 20 between 2 and 3 p.m. I was flying my model airplane In Christmas Hill park like I always have for the past 12 years. Acknowledging the posted notification about the restriction of flying 'gas' powered model airplanes, I brought an electric powered model. I chose a clear nonpopulated site to launch. After a few flights, a man in a city-marked truck confronted me. While my airplane was in the air, he yelled at me and attempted to grab at my very expensive controller and compromising my ability to also fly my, also very expensive, airplane. I was afraid for my personal property. Not wanting to get in to a possibly physical situation, I quickly landed my airplane in mid-air and left. In all my years of flying model airplanes, I've never seen such a reaction directed at me or anyone else for flying a model airplanes."

GETTING OUT: Visit this Ruby anytime
The Basin and Range country beyond the Sierra Nevada is Mother Earth bare bones and naked. There are no elegant forests or misty skies to soften the landscape.

Do you have a quiet cat or a chatty catty?
One of my friends mentioned a magazine article about how cats communicate and he asked me what I thought. Everyone agrees that most cats try to talk to us, especially when they’re hungry and it’s dinner time. Researchers have spent huge amounts of time and money trying to get inside the minds of domestic felines. (What a great job that must be; imagine getting paid to analyze kitty-cat conversations.)
