Yes, damn his profit driven eyes.Still, its only a man.

Beverley, you are right, both on spelling and on definition. I could not negotiate other traffic, on country roads, with any confidence; it was like OMG, vehicle coming; mild panic. As a country raised girl, I had never experienced that, since my earliest days, behind the wheel.

Oddly enough I learned to fly gliders and I am a (lapsed) solo pilot. My 3D skills are excellent even now. My favourite instructor was a lesbian radiographer to emigrated to Australia with her girlfriend.

Cars and roads are trivial, aircraft are simple enough, powered boats are for simpletons and so I come next to the challenge of sailing.... were skill and judgement are needed. That is why I prefer flying a glider to a powered aircraft - with an engine, it is a trivial matter and the big fan on the front will drag you anywhere you want to go.
