Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.

I will post results Saturday.

Far off to the right a hazy gray line appeared and rapidly
grew larger. New York! Inevitably I thought of the first

engineer. Then the skyscrapers of Manhattan had towered

heavenwards, impressing with their size. Now, where were
they? Not those little dots, surely? The great plane circled,
and a wing dipped. The engines changed their pitch.
Gradually we sank lower and lower. Gradually buildings
on the ground took shape, what had appeared to be a deso-
late waste resolved itself into Idlewild International Airport.
The skilled Swiss Pilot set the plane down with just a faint
scrunch of tires. Gently we taxied along the runway to the
Airport buildings. "Keep your seats, please!" said the
Purser. A gentle "thud" as the mobile stairway came to rest
