Hearing Loss or Just Earwax?Find Out Now Using A Tiny Video Camera.

Dear Recipient:

Modern technology is fascinating isn’t it? I’m writing to offer you an opportunity to take a look inside your ear using a tiny video camera called a Video Otoscope. This procedure is completely painless. Thecamera is actually placed just inside your ear canal. It will allow you to see all the way to youreardrum. The value of this procedure is that it may help you understand why you may be experiencingdifficulties with your hearing like:

• Hearing but not understanding certain words • Difficulty understanding conversation in noisy environments like restaurants • Frequently asking people to repeat themselves • Having to turn the TV up loud in order to understand what is being said

Using the Video Otoscope, a hearing instrument specialist will be able to determine whether yourhearing difficulties are being caused by simple ear wax. This exam may also reveal such commonproblems as:

• Damage to the eardrum • Fluid accumulation in the middle ear • Other conditions which may make it difficult to hear clearly

You will also receive a FREE hearing evaluation* to help further determine the type and cause ofyour hearing difficulties.

THERE IS NO CHARGE OR OBLIGATION FORTHESE SERVICES.

We are very reluctant to allowa smile—during or becauseof a sobering event. I remem-ber when Mary Tyler Moore

had a TV show and it was one of the longrunning favorites. In one show, she waspresent at the funeral of a friend. You couldtell she was having less than serious thoughtsas she remembered him. At first she lookedsolemn, then she snickered, then she burstout laughing, and others in the solemn gath-ering joined in the laughter.

While watching the Zimmerman trial,I became interested in the live messagesfrom viewers that were going across thebottom of the screen. The various thoughtswere intriguing. Then came one that sur-prised me and actually made me smile. Itread: “While other states plan June Festi-vals, Florida plans June Trials”

On Facebook: I support helping the needy—I oppose funding the lazy. (That broughta smile—wish I had thought of that).

It definitely was not funny, but laterbrought a smile of remembrance—watch-ing a little lady take off on her scooter andoutrun five nurses.

I am left wondering how many friendson my computer address book sent moneywhen they received a message saying myfamily was visiting the Philippines andthat we were attacked, robbed, and needed$2,800 to get home. That was strange—definitely not funny. Now I know what‘hacked’ means.

I was really hacked. Friends from allover, as far away as Hawaii, were gettingin touch to tell me about it. One friend,however, had never heard of this messagethat is routinely sent to people by hackers.Since it was supposedly from ‘me,’ shethought I was writing her—trying to behumorous. She answered the messagewith a funny response of her own, got ananswer from ‘me’ and then said, “Wait aminute. She doesn’t write like that.” Thenshe called to alert me knowing that it wasnot me who answered her.

Children: We spend the first 2 years oftheir lives teaching them to walk and talk.Then we spend the next 16 telling them to sitdown and shut-up. A recent comment from abusy parent who works at home: “I am goingto call my kids Ctrl, Alt, and Delete. Then ifthey mess up I will just hit them all at once.”

My friend’s granddaughter, Gracie, wasthree years old. Gracie said her prayers andshe ended with: “Thank you, Lord for every-thing. Amen dot com.” My friend said, “Doyou think God has a computer?” Gracieanswered, “Of course he does.” Amen. ST

It took a while for the message toget through, but there’s finally agrowing recognition of just howdangerous synthetic drugs such as

K-2 and bath salts can be. Synthetic drugs are substances laced

with chemicals designed to mimic theeffects of drugs such as cocaine, hero-ine, and hallucinogens. The formulasto make them are frequently changedin an effort to skirt the law, causing seri-ous health risks to people who take themin part because users can never be sureexactly what they’re ingesting. Con-sumption of synthetic drugs has beenknown to cause hallucinations, seizures,tremors, nausea, panic attacks, and evenpsychotic episodes.

Even though they’ve been widelybanned, synthetic drugs still find theirway onto the shelves at gas stations,convenience stores, and smoke shopsaround the country. As it turned out,large quantities of the substances werecoming from right here in VolusiaCounty through an illegal distributionring based out of New Smyrna Beach.Not anymore. Narcotics agents with themulti-agency Volusia Bureau of Inves-tigation recently dismantled the orga-nization in a series of raids that were

the culmination of a seven-month inves-tigation. The raids resulted in 14 arrestsand the seizure of drugs and cash prof-its derived from their sale.

Through a variety of undercover in-vestigative tactics, agents infiltratedthe organization and learned that it wasimporting synthetic drugs from Chinaand Canada and then distributing themaround the Unites States. In some cases,they bought the finished drugs throughwholesalers and then re-sold the prod-ucts at a mark-up. In other cases, theybought the chemical components andactually manufactured the syntheticdrugs locally before shipping them offto buyers.

We know the Seniors Today readersjoin us in supporting this operation, asthis was a business that had no placein our community. These arrests shouldsend a very clear message to others whomight try doing the same thing. Forthose who decide to continue sellingthis poison, we’re going after you next.You can count on it! ST

The Danger Of Synthetic Drugs

From TheSheriff

…Volusia County SheriffBen Johnson


by George Goldtrap

When I was a kid, my fatherreminded me that everyoneshould see the Grand OleOpry and the Ringling Bro-

thers, Barnum, and Bailey Circus, at leastonce. I agree and would add to that…aNASCAR race in Daytona. Clearly eachis a unique experience.

Fortunately, I have good neighbors andfriends. Last Saturday, one such personstopped at my door and said he had an extraticket to the Coke Zero 400 at the DaytonaInternational Speedway. Did I want togo? Boy did I!

This would not be my first trip to theiconic world landmark. As a teenager I haddriven around the beach track following oneof the last races before the ‘show’ movedto its permanent home. I once took Peg overto experience the Richard Petty ride… tooka granddaughter on the museum tour, and afew years ago attended the Twin 200 andthe IROC races. Would I want to go again?You betcha!

Parking on race day can be expensive soPeg took us over. We arrived about 5 P.M.,in time to see the Sheryl Crow performance.

The track operation is a unique combi-nation of business and showmanship. Thegate opened at 1 P.M. and from that moment,the flow of money is at break neck speed.There are tours, autograph sessions, photosessions, displays, demonstrations, funraces, and kid’s activities. The Clydesdaleswere there, a parade of all the supportingemergency vehicles, a Navy Band, a sur-prisingly great variety of food and souvenirs,and a flyover by the Confederate Air Force.It is a delightful combination of Disneyand carnival… something for everyone. Ifyou don’t have fun at a Daytona NASCARRace it is strictly your own fault.

Maybe the greatest show at the track isthe humanity. I have no idea what the atten-dance numbers were but I’m sure wellover 100K and into the additional 10s ofthousands. Every size, shape, and nation-ality… some dressed really well, somebarely dressed at all. The infield is unbeliev-able. Motor homes and trailers from all over… and people seated on top of them for abetter view. Kids were everywhere and itis always fun to watch’um run and play.

We had good seats… in Olds, in theshade and cooled by a gentle NE breezethat lasted all night. We were just off thenumber 4 curve and right where the driversget up on the gas for the straightaway ahead.We could also easily see the leader boardand the Jumbotron. I had my long cameralens and would enjoy so many good shots.

Drivers are now strapped in, radios tuned,and Shaq, Kevin James, and Adam San-dler attempt to ‘sing’ Gentlemen start yourengines! The cars now hum like a swarmof science fiction June bugs about to attackinnocent picnickers.

The pace car gets’um rolling. Anticipa-tion mounts! Two turns to clean the tires

and get everybody in line… the starterwaved green. The crowd is on their feet!

'Boogity, boogity, boogity'.Forty-three, 800 hp cars, inches apart,

revved and rolled like a great worm avoid-ing a largemouth bass. Around the first turn,onto the backstretch, up the steeply banked3 and 4 turns and still not fully up to thenearly 200 mph it takes to run with the big

dogs. Into the second lap of a 160 lap race,the speed is getting there and by the secondrun down the back straightaway… they areedging to the 185-190+mph mark. Here theycome off turn 4… still bumper to bumper.You cannot imagine the sound of this pow-ertrain. Deafening is an understatement. HadI not taken ear plugs my ears would stillbe ringing.

The fans stand for the first several lapsuntil everyone finally sat down… everyonethat is except one bald observer who insistedon blocking everyone else’s view. The racewas on. Remarkably there were only threecautions in the first 98 laps and only oneof them for an accident. The others werespill related… oil or debris on the track.

Actually the entire race was relativelyaccident free. Only small or minor accidentsthroughout the night and 32 of the 43 carsfinished the race. I’m guessing that is betterthan average.

Finally, down to three laps and the ‘heat’is on. On the white flag lap, the winner hadto plow past one final pileup of severalfront running cars, including the lone ladydriver in #10, (oddly, the ‘Go Daddy’ car),in order to reach the checkered flag.

After the race there was a great fireworksdisplay honoring the 4th of July week-end.Then the real race began… the race of thou-sands back to their cars and on to the beachand/or I-95. Again… Peg saved us. Wewalked east to a bank parking lot where wewere met and were driven home at a com-fortable 35 mph, no one drafting our rearbumper, and no 17 degree banked turnsthat we had to negotiate.

Wow! What a night. Thanks NASCAR… thanks Daytona, thanks to my friendfor the ticket, and thanks to Bill France forhis genius in planning a great event, a greatindustry, and in a great area—our commu-nity. Only in America! ST

Court reporters are making sure thatthe stories of America’s veter-ans are recorded for future gen-erations. The year 2013 marks

the tenth consecutive year that the Veter-ans History Project (VHP) has worked withthe National Court Reporters Foundation(NCRF) and the National Court ReportersAssociation (NCRA).

The mission of the Veterans History Pro-ject at the Library of Congress AmericanFolklife Center is to collect, preserve, andmake accessible the personal accounts ofAmerican war veterans so that future gen-erations may hear directly from veterans andbetter understand the realities of war.

U.S. Representative Ron Kind (WI-3) proposed the Veterans History Projectafter interviewing veterans in his own fam-ily at a reunion. His wife, Tawni, a courtreporter, knew that transcriptions wouldensure the accessibility of interview content.

To date, more than 2,800 interviews inthe VHP collection have been transcribedby court reporters. Once a court reportertranscribes an interview, the transcriptionis sent to the Library of Congress to beadded to the veteran’s collection, and inmany cases, it is digitized so that the pub-lic may access the transcript online.

Not only do court reporters serve VHP bytranscribing oral histories that are submittedto the Library of Congress, they also dedi-cate their time as volunteer interviewers.

“I can’t tell you how rewarding it’s beento me to work with such dedicated profes-sionals at VHP, and with court reporters whounselfishly volunteer their time and talent toensure that these stories will be preserved sothat future generations of Americans willknow of the sacrifices made to preserve ourfreedom,” said Beth Kilker, NCRF’s OralHistories Program Coordinator.

NCRF is also an ardent ambassador forVHP, and has promoted “VHP Days onCampus” at various court-reporting schoolsand firms. Most recently, NCRA is plan-ning a VHP Day during the 2013 NCRAConvention in Nashville, Tennessee.

In addition to recorded interviews, VHPalso depends on volunteers to donate veter-ans’ original photographs, letters, militarydocuments, diaries, journals, and two-dimensional artwork. ST

What’s In The StarsFor The Week Of July 22

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Yourcreative side is enhanced by indulgingyourself in as much artistic inspiration(music, art, dance, etc.) as you can fit intoyour schedule. Take someone special.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Takea little restorative time out of your busylife. Go somewhere quiet this week-end. Or just close the door and turn onthe answering machine.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Youradvice might be much in demand byfamily and friends this week. Reservetime for yourself to investigate a pro-ject that could have some potential.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work-related issues demand your attention inthe early part of the week. Family mat-ters dominate Thursday and Friday. Theweekend is all yours.LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to keepyour temper in check as you deal withsomeone who seems to enjoy showingdisrespect. Losing your cool might bejust what the goader hopes to see.VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept 22) A heatedconfrontation needs some cool-off timebefore it boils over. Better to step awaythan to try to win an argument whereemotions overrule the facts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Some-one very special in your life finally sendsthat reassuring message you've beenhoping for. You can now devote moretime to the tasks you had put aside.SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Jobpressures begin to ease by the week'send, leaving you time to relax and restoreyour energy levels before you face nextweek's emerging challenges.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)Your spiritual strength helps calm afriend who might be facing an unset-tling change in his or her life. An offerto help comes from a surprising source.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)By midweek you could learn some sur-prising facts about an associate thatmight cause you to reconsider a long-held view about someone in your past.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Oneof those rare-for-you darker moods setsin in the early part of the week. ByThursday, the clouds lift and you're backdoing nice things for people in need.PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Usethat sharp Piscean perceptiveness to reelin more information about a promisingoffer so that you have the facts to backup whatever decision you make.

When we think of small dogscompared to large dogs, wetend to think they have verydifferent temperaments and

behavior styles. Small dogs are thought ofas cute, but yappy, hyper, and sometimessnippy. Larger dogs are seen as morerelaxed, but perhaps more frightening ordangerous due to their size (often depend-ing upon the breed). In reality, the differ-ences in behavior often stem not from thedogs themselves or the breed(s) of theirancestors, but from how we treat our pets.

Many of the behaviors that we considerundesirable in a large or medium-sizeddog are viewed as funny or cute in a small

dog. Think about the differences in howdogs are perceived. If a 100-pound Rot-tweiler barks, growls, or jumps on a per-son, this is seen as very negative behavior.The target of the barking or jumping mayfeel frightened of the dog, and the dog typ-ically would be corrected immediately. Nowimagine the same behavior in a 5-poundChihuahua. While the dog’s behavior is thesame, we might see the barking as funny andthe jumping as a sign of affection.

None of this is meant to show that largerdogs are better or worse than smaller dogs.All dogs make great companions and havetheir own wonderful, unique characteris-tics. It is important to take note of the wayour behavior affects dogs’ behavior.

When we allow small dogs to exhibitdominant behavior like growling, jumping,“claiming” the human, or pulling, it sendsthe message that they are the pack leader.Small dogs do not see themselves as smalleror lower in rank. Allowing or even encour-aging dominant behavior in a small dog canlead to consequences that are even worse.The dog could develop separation anxiety,become aggressive toward other pets, orbite or snap at people.

A good rule of thumb is to look at thebehaviors you are allowing in your small dog,and then think about how you or others mayfeel if the same behaviors were displayedby a large dog. If you would not allow thisfrom a large dog, you should probably work

to correct the behavior in your small dog.Small dogs are generally just as easy totrain; we just need to treat them equally.

Q: I have my granddad's tackle box,which is full of older Heddon plasticlures. Can you recommend a good priceguide? I understand they have increasedin recent years, and even though I haveno plan to sell the ones I have, I amnevertheless curious about values.

—Ken, Springdale, ArkansasA: There are several guides, but my

personal favorite is Heddon PlasticLures: Identification And Price Guideby Russell E. Lewis. This excellentguide features lures from the first onesissues by the company in 1924 throughthe early 1980s. There are 1,500 illus-trations in full-color and the values seemto reflect the current marketplace

Russell Lewis also is the author ofClassic Fishing Lures, Fishing Col-lectibles: Rods, Reels, Creels And Moreand Heddon Catalogues: Over 50 YearsOf Great Fishing. If you love the sportof fishing, you are certain to gethooked on these outstanding guides.

***Q: I recently found an I Like Ike

handkerchief in a thrift store that I pur-

chased for $25. I assume it is from the1952 presidential campaign. What doyou think is it worth?

—Maryanne, Manhattan, KansasA: About what you paid for it. I con-

sulted several price guides, which indi-cate the I Like Ike handkerchiefs gen-erally sell in the $15 to $25 range. Forcomparison, the Goldwater handker-chiefs from the 1964 campaign areworth a little less, $10 to $15.

***Q: I have a solid-oak tea cart pur-

chased in 1917. It is in excellent con-dition. I would like to know its value.

— D.L., Sun City, ArizonaA: There are tea carts... and there are

tea carts, and it is impossible for me toplace a value on the one you have. Youshould consult with antiques dealers inyour area. Since you are near Phoenix,there are dozens of good dealers andexperts to choose from. ST

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have pseudo-gout. It's hard for me to explain to peo-ple, so I either tell them I have gout orI don't tell them anything.

Will you do me a favor and explainit in the paper? I'll cut it out, carry itwith me, and give it to people who askwhat I have. Thanks.

—D.K.Answer: Pseudo is the Greek word

for false. Pseudogout is false gout, anillness that looks a lot like gout but reallyisn't related to it.

With gout, blood uric-acid level rises.Crystals of uric acid deposit in jointsand give rise to gout pain. With pseudo-gout, the crystals that invade joints andthe tissues around joints are calciumpyrophosphate. What causes the rise ofthese crystals isn't known. It's not diet.The first attack of gout usually involvesthe base of the big toe. With pseudo-gout, it's the knee. The pain of pseudo-gout is not false; it's quite real. Bothcrystals target other joints as time passes.

Even though these two are differentprocesses, treatment is similar. Nons-

teroidal anti-inflammatory drugs areused for acute attacks of both, medi-cines like Indocin and Motrin.

Colchicine, another gout medicine,is also used for an acute, painful attackof pseudogout. As in gout, cortisoneinjection of an inflamed joint reliablysuppresses joint pain. The standard treat-ment of inflamed joints—ice packs andimmobilization—are part of treatmentfor both illnesses.

Unlike gout, pseudogout does nothave as many medicines for the pre-vention of attacks. Colchicine can betaken on a daily basis to ward off attacks.However, should this illness developinto a chronic illness, medicines likemethotrexate and hydroxychloroquineare often prescribed. ST

The booklet on gout and pseudogoutprovides answers to other questions onthese illnesses.

Domesticity is having a cul-tural moment. More andmore Americans are em-bracing old-fashioned skills

of cooking, sewing, crafting, garden-ing, and child-rearing, and increasinglyopting out of the modern mainstreamin favor of the simple life. What is dri-ving this renaissance of retro? EmilyMatchar explores the phenomenon en-gagingly and compellingly in Home-ward Bound.

It's tempting to dismiss this trend asan escapist fantasy, a yearning for aromanticized, mythical past tinted bynostalgia and Instagram filters. Formany, the new old life encompassesfundamental ways of raising families,consuming food and other products,and interacting with society—not justan aesthetic, but often a completelifestyle change.

Some of the value is obvious. Wide-spread economic woes have led to arenewed understanding of the value offrugality and self-sufficiency. Contin-ual reports of ecological calamity, cor-

porate malfeasance, and political neg-ligence naturally make people wish formore control over their environmentand the things they allow into it.

Matchar also delves into the darkerside. Of particular emphasis are thehotly debated gender issues inherentin exalting the practice of traditionallyfemale occupations: Is this a setbackfor feminism, or a new era of it? Sheexamines the accusations of economicand racial privilege in those who par-ticipate, the pressure against those whodon't (or can't), and the implicationsfor the health of society as a wholewhen so many bright young peopleare dropping out of it so completely.

Homeward Bound is a fascinatinglook into this emerging paradigm shiftin American culture. Whether their rea-sons are practical, political, or philo-sophical, for those whose search formeaning leads them home, revolutionis the ultimate DIY. ST

Q: I always order a few cords offirewood in the summer, even thoughI will not likely need it until late fall.That way I can stack the wood the wayI like it and make sure it seasons evenlybetween now and winter time. I don'thave to pay a premium or compete withall the other folks trying to get theirfirewood in the fall. Hope your read-ers find this useful! —Carl F., White River Junction, VT

A: Good tip! June's milder temper-atures are a great time to start outdoorrepair and maintenance projects. Innorthern states, homeowners can beginpreparing the house for winter weather;in the southeast, the lull between springstorms and fall hurricanes gives peo-ple breathing room to shore up theirhomes and yards, and replenish emer-gency supplies.

If you have a fireplace, schedule aprofessional inspection and cleaningthis month—again, it will help you beatthe fall rush, and many chimney clean-ers offer discounts during the slow sea-son. If you have a septic tank, scheduleits annual inspection for this month, too—it may not need to be pumped out

every year, but the tank and related sys-tems, including the drain field, should bechecked for small problems before theybecome expensive problems.

Outside, finish spring cleanup in theyard and garden. Grab a ladder and ahelper, and climb up to the roof to seeif there’s a lot of debris or damage tothe shingles, eaves, or soffits. Visuallyinspect the gutter system for damage,debris dams, rust, or other problems.Again, the sooner you tackle smallerissues, the less costly the repairs will be.

Finally, get your air conditioner readyfor the hotter months. Change the airfilter, and purchase a few more if nec-essary so you can change the filter everymonth until October. If the A/C unithasn't been inspected in a few years,have a professional come and do a com-plete system inspection, including theunit, blower, vents, and registers.

Home Tip: Attach a gutter screento the top of your home's downspoutsto reduce or prevent blockages anddamage. ST

Dear Paw's Corner: How do youpick up a cat? My sister says I don'tpick our cat Bubba up correctly.

—Stacy in Gulfport, MS

Dear Stacy: Many people pick upa cat by kneeling in front of it, placingtheir hands on either side of the cat'sbody behind the front legs, and liftingit straight up in the air. I often wonderif there are statistics on how many ofthese people get scratched and clawedby said cat as it tries to escape.

That is a really uncomfortable posi-tion for a cat to be in.

Another no-no is lifting a cat by thescruff of its neck, the way mama catsdo. This can hurt adult cats. (Sometimesyou'll see the vet grasping the scruff ofthe neck, but only to reposition the cat,without lifting it up.)

The best way to safely pick up a catis to approach it from the front, callingits name so you get its attention. Kneeldown to Bubba's level and then moveto his side. Cup one hand under his chest,then tuck his tail to one side and reach

under his hindquarters, and lift him intoyour arms. His hindquarters and backlegs can be tucked in the crook of onearm, but let him rest his paws on topof your other arm.

Many cats like being snuggled thisway, but few will stay there for long.If you want to hold Bubba longer, siton the couch and rest him across yourlap. If he struggles to get away, let himgo. If you're holding him in your arms,let him go by kneeling down to thefloor, so he can safely exit. ST

The Wrong Way To Pick Up A Cat

by Matilda Charles

Ayoung guy working in arestaurant recently mademy day. He leaned over andwhispered that if I asked

for the senior dinner, I would save nearly$2, and the senior dinner came withextras. Who wouldn't want that?

Sometimes the hardest part of get-ting a senior discount is knowing whatage qualifies as senior. Do they mean50, when AARP starts sending us mail?Or 55? Or is it 60, 62, or 65?

To find locations in your area thatgive a senior discount, check these loca-tions online:

http://www.sciddy.com—The site iscalled Seniors Pay Less, and it's orga-nized the information by category. Putin your ZIP code and the distance you'rewilling to travel. I learned, for example,that there's actually a pizza shop in myarea that gives an over-55 discount.

http://seniordiscounts.com—Fullaccess costs $12.95 a year, but may beworth it if you'll use your senior dis-counts. As a sample of the free access,go to the site, click on restaurants in

the drop down menu and put in yourZIP code.

Your best bet is to call businesses andask in advance (even Senior Discountshas some outdated information). If thereare certain places in your area that youlike to shop or have a meal, call to in-quire about their age cutoff for seniorsdiscounts. Make your own list.

Don't forget some of the big-ticketitems, like your property tax. Somemunicipalities give discounts to seniors.If you're traveling, ask about a seniordiscount for motels, airfare, and carrental. Ask in places where you routinelyspend money, such as the grocery stores,especially the chains.

Carry your AARP card in your wal-let, because in many places that's allyou need. ST

I sat in the airport in Madison, Wis-consin, back in 1974, waiting on thenext leg of my trip to the little townof Merrill. The trip had already in-

cluded a half dozen plane changes and a30-minute stop-over in Green Bay wherethey gassed up the plane. I was to be inMadison for about an hour, the attendanttold me when we landed, adding that mynext plane was due in about 30 minutes.

A picture window overlooking the tar-mac had a few chairs and a couple of thosestanding ashtrays. I walked over and sat bythe window wanting to see my plane whenit landed. A lady dressed in what I assumedat the time was a uniform of the airline Iwas flying, came over and informed me myplane would be late. When I asked how long,she looked at me with an air of contemptand said she had no idea. When I askedwhat caused the delay, she gave me thesame look and mumbled something aboutmechanical problems, and walked away.

My hands started sweating. After an hourI went to the counter near the door whereI had entered the building and asked if therehad been any news about my plane. Thesame lady who had spoken to me earlierlooked up from the Soap Opera Digestcrossword puzzle she was working on andgave me a no answer. I went back to myseat and stared out the window. Anotherhour passed, and still no plane.

Then I heard the crackle of a radio andsomebody saying something about a planein a landing pattern. In a few minutes Icould see the outline of the plane againstthe grey and dismal sky that I had beenwatching develop over the past two hours.The plane landed and then taxied from therunway to the tarmac where I was waiting.

It was a medium-sized twin engine planewith a strange resemblance to a B-17bomber. The pilot turned onto the tarmacat what I thought was a little too much speedand spun the plane on one wheel just as itreached the loading area and stopped.Several men ran up to the plane with thewheeled steps and three people walked offalmost before the steps were in place. Iactually thought that the pilot would walkoff wearing one of those leather flying capsand a scarf around his neck, from the wayhe landed. Instead, the pilot, a much oldergentleman than I expected, exited with aneven older lady dressed in the same outfitthe women wore at the counter.

It would take another 30 minutes, wewere told, before we could board the plane.I went back and sat by the big picture win-dow. I watched as the ground crew fueledthe plane and tightened bolts. A small oilspot had started on the ground, I noticed,under the engine nearest to the windowand as I watched it got larger. I kept wait-ing for someone to put oil in the engine,but it never happened. My hands startedto sweat again.

Finally, they called for us to board theplane. I never took my eyes off the oil spotas I walked out onto the tarmac and had anearly-uncontrollable desire to run away.There were seats down both sides of theplane and I chose one just behind the

engine. In a few minutes I moved when Irealized I could still see the now-large oilleak on the ground. I asked the attendantabout the oil leak and she informed methey would add oil at the next stop.

We taxied to the runway and the pilotrevved up the engines for take-off. Hereleased the brakes and my hands startedsweating even more. Halfway down the run-way he cut the engines. The plane made au-turn and started the whole process overagain. My hands were dripping with sweat,but I did not give up tightly gripping thearm rest of my seat.

The engines revved up again and wewere off. This time we slowly lifted offthe ground clearing the trees at the end ofthe runway. The flight was one of the longest45 minutes I have ever lived through and,when we landed, I understood why the pas-sengers back in Madison had been so eagerto get off that plane. I did ask the pilot whyhe had to make two runs at take off. He saida plane had crossed the runway in front ofhim and he thought it was safer to abort theflight rather than take the chance of hittingthe other plane. I agreed with him. ST

• “Get samples of your favorite cos-metics, if you can, from your depart-ment store. This way, you'll be ableto leave your full-size cosmetics athome during weekend trips.”

—B.B. in California

• If you travel quite a bit and are inthe market for a new suitcase, springfor a color or pattern version—thebrighter, the better. There is an end-less parade of black cases on everybaggage-claim belt. Ribbons and tagscan come off in travel. If your caseis black and you aren't ready to re-place it, try decorating it with color-ful duct tape on all non-fabric areas.

• A “nonstop” flight goes directly fromone city to the destination city, nostops. A “direct” flight means thatyou might make stops along the way,some even requiring that you disem-bark, but you will not change planesbefore your destination. There canbe many hours’ difference in traveltimes, so know the difference!

• “Delayed flights happen. If you arelate getting to your hotel, call ahead

and have dinner waiting. If the hoteldoes not have room service, the frontdesk will have the phone number ofa local pizza or other food deliveryservice, guaranteed! It's one less stopto deal with.” ST
