Was out on the Potomac, which is the approach to Washington DC National
airport, yesterday. The NATO ministers are all coming to DC over the
weekend, security is high, and the river was swarming with helicopters
looking for terrorists with stinger missiles. I had a big army
helicopter stop, hover, and check me out to make sure I had two eyebrows
--- terrorists tend to have only one big bushy eyebrow across their
entire forehead. He quickly waved and flew away when he saw I was just
a doddering old fart trying to sail with no wind.
