Subject: Feb.Fantasy Kite Field FANTASY KITE FIELD Ten (10) acres "Bay" frontage , no obstacles, wind at 8 mph to 12 mph off shore. Native grasses and weeds to bare ground, no rocks, no drift wood. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to place your favorite kite (single, stunters or quards) into this cold and icy February "sky painting". However, while I'm waiting for more fliers to arrive, I have the field to myself and the first thing that I am going to hang up there is my 26 foot Peter Lynn hot pink octopus with the purple trim and hot lemon eyes. He doesn't like gusty winds at all so I have not gotten to fly him much this year and today looks like "OLLIE TIME"! hmmmm....here come another car now!

First stake out a pink & black (&purple) Sholtz damselfish with a couple koi socks (don't forget the eye level ribbon). Then if it's dry enough, a green antelope on a gold ring on a red field paper Indian fighter (maybe it's Rudolph, sometimes I get my ungulates confused). If it's dampish I'll fly my yellow pages bag or Sue Grafton. -- "Lucy Mohl Is Really My Dog Catcher", Admits Willie Clinton "I Didn't Do It Claims Dan Quale -- Brian Johnsen johnsen@eskimo.com Seattle, Washington USA = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 06:50:21 -1000 From: ahclem0013@aol.com (AhClem0013) Message-Id: <4fl6od$6v5@newsbf02.news.aol.com> Organization: America Online, Inc.

If Ivanpah is half as good as El-Mirage, a GREAT time will be had by all. Try to get there people, even if you don't buggy, the desert is a great place to get your sanity in check, or as a bunch of us buggiers get there, lose your sanity!! (and get nekkid!) C U @ Ivanpah!
