Service dogs are one of the best ideas going, IMO. My mom's neighbor has aservice dog for many needs and it has changed her life. Never heard of adog drinking coffee (beer yes, but not coffee). I guess it makes him thatmuch more human! Does he fly with guys?--Jeffrey H.

Mr. Nightmare,Your observation of the missing link of the Beer-Funnel-Hose 'fire triangle' revealsyou to be a bit of a pyromaniac, no? Wonderful, we have more of your kindin our camp. I myself have long been the designated driver at airshows, butwas once a member in good standing of the congregation who faithfully tithe 10%of their income to the church of Anheuser-Busch. I could once recite the entire1896 A.E. Housman poem "Terrance, this is stupid stuff" which includes theobservation:"And malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man. Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think."We will be holding Corvair College #29 in Leesburg FL in two weeks; Our local hostis an old friend who flew my Piet with me to Brodhead 2000. Arnold is thesame man who was the local host of Corvair College#17 in 2010, a bit of a pyromaniachimself. You can see photos of #17 at this link:http://www.flycorvair.com/cc17.htmlAlthough we built and ran 20 engines, In the middle the photos show kegs of beer,a bon fire big enough to melt 10 corroded Corvair cases and a late night skeetcontest with 12 gauges. Our feelings were hurt when several magazines refusedthe story, one editor writing back to say that I was the only person in aviationpromoting the Alcohol-Firearms and Aircraft combination. My protests thatI grew up with Pappy Boyington as a hero and that the editor had the criticalsequence reversed, fell on deaf ears.Nightmare, be forewarned, Arnold and his gang could be at Oshkosh, and if you bringthat hose, I cannot guarantee Walt-Disney behavior from our people. -ww------------------------------------------------PS: Only Colleges at Arnolds are like this, The ones hosted by Pietenpol Southerngentleman extraordinaire P.F. Beck and crew in SC are classy and refined.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpol article---Smithsonian Air & Space Magazinefrom 20
