About 50% in Europe. My kids are brighter than their parents

I have found over the years my head is probably the least important part of my body. Definitely the least used...

I had it explained to me in my hang gliding days that the body can handle some collisions up to 40 mph (I tried a couple at close to 30 mph). The head can handle about 10 mph. The helmet puts your head in the body impact range. Still took me a while to wear one skiing and in the Cub.

Took a quick blast down to a neighboring airfield to ride in a Bonanza. Really nice planes! It was a little bumpy all day from gusty winds but that didn’t stop the youngest from passing out on the way home.

Uh-Oh!! Getting serious now......
