He built that natural -food building to impress his young girlfriend-Marie's daughter-which you must imagine worked to some degree. Forgive me John C. if I point out the "aerotrekking" is what we used to call just "flying somewhere". The "Sky Gypsies" were never sky gypsies at all, they were couch potato/movie fans who would better be known as Sky Newbies. The whole show ended in tragedy, which fact I guess Marie deigned to mention. <br />John Olson<br />www.JohnOlson.blog.comWingedGringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363105782507645542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-36836335464817030562011-01-27T12:20:24.364-08:002011-01-27T12:20:24.364-08:00I had the pleasure of flying with that gang before...I had the pleasure of flying with that gang before they disbanded.

I have been up and down that road a few times; I live in Albuquerque, but have friends in Bisbee, AZ. Once, I saw --- coming in the opposite direction, thankfully --- 2-3 in-line roller skaters blazing up Hwy 80, at speeds you could not imagine. The area IS very stark, but there is actually great bird-watching in the very close by Chiricahua mountains of Arizona, accessed via the border town of Portal.Albuquerque Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-85117770842267856972010-01-24T14:50:39.127-08:002010-01-24T14:50:39.127-08:00Seems like Billy is a financial genius since he go...Seems like Billy is a financial genius since he got a multi-million dollar complex, including a house, for less than a lot of people pay for just a house.
