Framed

Every month my entries are carefully boxed up, and neatly stowed away in the archives of Visceraman1.com. (And of course, now I've screwed myself, as Administration will no doubt read this, and upon my return home screech *THEN WHY THE FUCK CAN'T YOU PICK UP YOUR ____________?!* Anyway, that is a small digression, and the faithful v1 readers need not concern themselves with my safety - I am among other things, a highly trained martial artist, boxer, former defensive end, green beret, ghost etc., and can take care of myself.

What does suck about this inherit neatness, is that my page then looks like I've only bothered to write 1 entry, and more importantly, comments can be hidden away. For example:

De-icing(or anti-icing) is the process of spraying a warm/hot glycol-water mixture, not terribly unlike automotive antifreeze, on the control surfaces of the aircraft to keep ice from forming(and to remove ice that has already formed). If things like ailerons, flaps, and rudders "ice up", they don't work too well. And that can be disastrous. Remember that plane that went into the Potomac river 20 or so years ago? That's what can happen. Mind you, that was an absolute clusterfuck, but lack of proper deicing procedures played a part.

I should stop here and interject the announcement that *Guy at airport* will begin his own category, where notions that confuse me, are clearly explained. This weeks feature will be a two part series entitled, "The Progression of the Opry Hair". (*Guy*, feel free to take as much time at work as needed....I've cleared it with the gentleman with the small tattoo on his neck, who claims he's your fearless leader....and by the way, thank you.)
