'Smooth skies' - great signoff, I might have to plagiarise that
My dumb story: Was flying out of LGB a few months ago with some like-minded souls when the wx turned incliment, so we took a road-trip to Vegas. Went on to the Grand Canyon, by way of...
The Hoover Dam.
We're approaching said dam, looking at the martian scenery, good wow-factor. But I commented on the number of electricity plyons, how they spoilt the view etc., to much agreement in the jeep.
We muttered about what a blot on the landscape it was, until somebody (Jonny, you out there?

) casually observed: "Er, guys, it's a dam, what does that do?"...
Red faces all around.
Up next week: The Grand Canyon By Night: Is It Lit?". Not my call... :o :o
