Comet and Kate

[kln@a.crl.com]

Flying back from Charlotte NC the other night I was perusing USAir's in-flight 
advertisement for itself and noticed that one of their radio tracks features 
Celtic music -- and the first track listed was "Kimiad" by Alan Stivell, the 
track which features Kate.  What good taste they have.

We dropped off some folks in Kansas City, and with only about 50 people left on 
our 737 headed towards San Francisco.  About 20 minutes after leaving KC the 
pilot came on to tell us he had a magnificent view of the comet he wanted to 
share with us.

He turned off all the lights and rolled the jet up on the left wing so we had a 
clear view of the coment out the right windows. From 35,000 feet, with no air to 
cloud our view, the tail extended up to the right across much of the dipper, and 
the comet itself was not the tiny fuzzball visible from the ground, but a really 
big fuzzball.  One of the most incredible things I've ever seen.  

And Kate, too.  That was a good flight -- made up for some bad ones I've had.
