 Do me a favor real quick, SMILE!!! Okay thanks! I try to live my life by trying to make somebody, anybody, smile just once a day. If I can get more than one to smile then extra credit! I was driving up to Oshkosh, WI for the annual airshow and to be honest, there was a small part of me that wasn't wanting to go. Record breaking heat, massive crowds and a long walk to my car from event parking were just a few hurdles that I had to overcome. If the above is in your definition of a good time, I wont believe you. So much negativity to battle even though this event was like a massive magnet pulling me and my passion towards it. I needed to be in Oshkosh by 5pm. In my haste of trying to make the trip to non stop I had eaten lunch in the car. Sure enough with 45 minutes left I had to pee. I stopped, and I was so glad that I did. In the gas station staring right at me was a smiley face cookie. It was doing to me what I try to do to others, make people smile. I all of the sudden I had so many flash backs. PSA Airlines paint scheme, Duggy, Airplanes, People, First Solos, Passing A Check Ride, awesome friends, you name it. This cookie made me realize my goals of enduring a MASSIVE crowd, record breaking heat, and $3 bottles of water. It was simply to have fun. As much aviation stimulus all concentrated at this famous airport. It was all injected into me by this smiley face cookie, which was like Duggy "A smile in the sky." This cookie was so important to my goal of the trip, I adopted the cookie. It rode in the front seat next to me until I could get back on the the highway. Then I ate it. Oh god, that is so sad. Ultimately I have to think the cookie did what it would have wanted me to do. I guess that makes me feel a little better. As I parked my car and embarked on my long walk to the entrance gate of the event, Duggy flew over and smiled at me. It gave me a dose of my own medicine which is to have fun. I am glad I went to Oshkosh! :) When did you smile last?

I'm driving to Oshkosh tomorrow! I'll keep looking for Duggy's smile while remembering to offer my own. Thanks for pointing out the value of that "free" accessory, the smile.

Ditto to what Todd and Jim said - doing my drive up tomorrow and a smile cookie on either the trip up or back is definitely in order!

Just got back from Oshkosh. Last night's night-time airshow amazed me. It's one thing to fly aerobatic maneuvers like the Aeroshell Team - - But what show-offs. They do their show in the dark? And the pilots were probably wearing blindfolds. 4/9/2013 09:50:33 pm
The dream of flying was attained by man only in the past few decades. But the technology of flying had been improving rapidly. The number of air services, jet plains, personal aircraft etc are increasing day by day. Thanks for the air stunt video provided. 7/24/2013 07:26:43 pm

Eating less than 1,000 calories a day is a low caloric intake and should not be followed for any prolonged length of time. Rather, such a diet is best used for a short-term "crash" diet. Because 800 calories is so few, it's even more important to make every calorie count. The best course in long-term dieting is to eat a healthy number of calories and increase physical activity. 10/2/2013 02:58:55 pm
