if cats could fly

watched a chinook helicopter fly past overhead yesterday & wondered what if I could hang a ski chair from it & go 'reverse parasailing' on a ride with e world at my feet & surprise e birds in e sky & enjoy e scenery below & try to recognise geographical landmarks & spot e white border of blue ocean waves crashing onto aquamarine-coloured coral reefs & watch e dark shadows of clouds being chased by e wind across emerald green hills & ochre sand dunes & grey mountains capped with heaps of white snow icing....

tried parasailing in Phuket when I was in primary school & it was too close to e ground for me (no kick) & I had to do it tandem because I wasn't big fat enough to land on my own in e winds =|

love e beautiful aerial photos of e Cape Range peninsula & Ningaloo reef off e West Australian coast that I had to map for GE2220 =)

enjoyed e view of e rivers & farmland below on a domestic flight in China despite e fact that flying in an old Fokker aircraft (where you had to push up your own seat like lifting a toilet bowl cover before you could sit down & lean back against it so that it wouldn't fall on you & where e air stewardess had to cut open a passenger's seatbelt that got stuck) makes you lose your hearing =)

had loads of fun recognising e Mekong, Ruak & Kok rivers, e Asia Superhighway, Chieng Rai city, Ban Doo, Chiang Rai Rajabhat University campus & e Chieng Rai International Airport runway & pinpointing e locations of Tambon Mae Yao, Mae Sai, Sop Ruak & Done Xao from EarthSat satellite images from maps.google.com =)

if cats could fly....they would be too busy enjoying e view to eat all e birds in e sky? *grin*
