All I asked for was access to the shop and the scrap heap, and don't
look too closely at what I made....

It's possible my flying toys set off the Exeter NH UFO hysteria. The
ultra-lightweight poly film parachutes that floated away on thermals

from reflected clouds and sun.

Oh, so it was you all along. Wait until I tell NORAD, the CD guys,
NASA, the USAF, and all the rest of 'em.
