Clear to Land, but Dodging East River Flotsam
(Note: NY Times link, requires free registration. Nothing to prevent you lying through you teeth when you register, though)
Flying seaplanes on New York’s East River. Maybe not the call of the wild, but probably not so likely to end up as wolf shit, either. Not that there’s anything wrong with ending up as wolf shit, as a matter of fact it used to be an ambition of mine.
When I was up in the Channel Islands in BC a couple years ago, I noticed that Salt Spring Island is served by one or more all-Beaver airlines.
The sight of a Beaver taxiing onto a calm fjord at dawn is inspiring.
Now, getting Vicki to move to Canada….
That is surely is.
