Flights of Fancy

scratching the hair on my chin ... this photo is from a rest stop in Florida. we stopped (coming in from Alabama), went to the bathroom, and picked up a random assortment of free tourist brochures. i think i got one about a Leather Store in Florida, info on wildlife, info (specifically) on bears ("you are in bear country"), and i try to pick up crazy Christian ones (Jesus monuments, Bible Camps, all that crazy shit). we made it to the rest stop in a downpour of a rain storm. it broke a bit as we parked then it dumped water again as we tried to make it back to our car.
anyways, i was reading an old National Geographic magazine (from 1974 would be my guess) (i could look at the date on the cover but i think we all realize its not that important). in it was a bit on the X-15 rocket-fueled jet airplane. i have never heard of the X-15 (a super cool name for a jet). i have heard of the SR-71. i don't know very much about stealthy Air Force fighter jets but i am convinced that the X-15 is the coolest thing ever.
i may be getting a new (used) car down the road. i will call this car the X-15. i may wear gloves when i drive it. and sunglasses. chew on a cigar. wear a mustache.
