Re: I won't make the obvious joke about this....
About 20 years ago a guy was brought to the ER in the hospital where my wife was working at the time. He had caught a rattlesnake and was playing with it. He was going to get someone to take a picture of him kissing the snake. The snake lunged and bit him on the chin... and you guessed it, alcohol ...

Re: Dremel tool?
I have a Dremel Model 260, which I've had for close to 50 years. The internal rectifier that came on it failed, a new one failed after a while, so I put a heavy duty rectifier in the power cord. End of problems. Replaced the brushes a few years ago. Other than the rectifiers, I have no complaints.

Regular prescription glasses with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6a20stHk6k I used flat black paint around the hole instead of electrical tape, worked much better. I've also tried the diopter thing by Lyman that attaches to your glasses with a suction cup. Works, but kind of annoying to use.

Re: "There'll Be Spitfires Over, the White Cliffs of Dover..."
I'm sure you're correct, it's just that in 20 something years of aviation experience, I was never exposed to the concept that an airplane can be off the ground, in controlled flight under it's own power, but not be flying. Never too old to learn something new!

I know what ground effect is. However, the thing left the surface of the earth due to the aerodynamic effect of the relative wind over the surfaces of the airplane's wings, which was created by forward motion induced by the thrust produced by propellers powered by the plane's engines. Sounds like fl...
