Awesome view! There was a dragonfly convention at the dealership today, hundreds of them flying and hovering over the cars. One of them popped in front of my face for a good 30 seconds, we locked eyes...I think it was interested in my glasses. They sure do like cars! [=

One of my cousins lives in Tulsa, a city not just of revived Cords but also of an aircraft plant I sent some business to in 1965. I wonder if the damsel fly could tell us something about "ground effect sandwichs." A Stoner was killed in Viet Nam trying to fly under a railroad bridge in a helicopter. Biplanes figured out how to fly under bridges at more than two wingspans up and down. How does it work with leaves and damsel flies?
