John Carter

Do you think of ER when I say that? :) I do.

But, Joel is gone. I hate it when he's gone. He was on the phone all morning with someone that owns a plane that they work on. They worked on it last week actually and got it all fixed up. This morning something else on it was acting up. So, Joel and a couple of other guys are flying the 2 hour flight up to where he lives to work on the plane.

The guy who owns the plane is John Cain Carter, a Texan conservationist who lives here now. Joel has mentioned him before. As he was walking out the door around noon, he said something about how I could probably google him and find something about him.

I have to say that when I hear the term 'conservationist' I don't think completely good thoughts. :) I don't think bad thoughts, but some who label themselves that way just have alot of passion, but not a lot of good answers about the right way to go about doing that conserving?

Well, I googled. I found a few things. I must say...interesting!! And I also must say...I like his style.

This is a really cool article I found. On the last page, we are very near to Goiania on that map, just to give you a visual of where Joel flew. I can't wait to hear about his trip.

Also, hello (!)...this is another thing I found. Pretty cool.

did you know that this is the last week of ER. I don't watch it any more, but I remember how crazy we were about in college. No one was allowed to talk while ER was on. It is the end of an era!
