==================
 NB> Ah, well...  Not all the crazies end up in asylums... and not all that
 NB> happens is recorded...  ;)

Though more and more is being archived some way, which
makes it even more peculiar that that plane disappearance
seems to be baffling everyone. I suspect, though, that
at least one of these governments' intelligence apparatus
has a fair idea of what happened.

 NB> Who knows...  Maybe the polar vortex opened some other vortex that
 NB> swallowed the plane...?

Just as likely that the flying saucer came. I'm leaning
toward the diverted intact scenario, though there is some
appeal to the crew suicide theory. And then there's the
possibility that after the plane went off course, some
military guys panicked and shot down the unknown blip on
their radar, and there's a coverup in progress. I find
the inconsistency of the Malaysians' claims interesting.
That's the only thing about all of this that I've gotten
a little antsy about - this year I've flown over or within
anti-aircraft missile distance of some fairly trigger-happy
countries, including Ukraine, Chechnya, Dagestan, Azerbaijan,
Iran, Pakistan, and India.
 
 NB> And you make a point of traveling on 9/11, too...

Not a manifestation of deathwish but of defiance, though
it's solidified into ritual now.

I was disappointed when so few people flew on 9/11/02
(bunch of sissies), and somewhat heartened when the
numbers for subsequent iterations of the date have
improved toward normal, though I suspect that it's
because people have begun to forget.

 NB>> ... I like stuffed animals. Oven baked with bread crumb stuffing.
 ML> I prefer rice, onion, and sausage stuffing, possibly with
 ML> reconstituted dried fruit, but bread stuffing ain't bad.
 NB> That sounds good, too...  ;)

Also, nuts in this - pine or perhaps slivered almonds.
