Mardi Grass

Must Have Been Something He Eight

A sheriff's deputy in Sherman, Texas, arrested a man accused of getting into a small private plane and doing figure-eights on the grass at Tanglewood Airstrip. Bond was set at $1500 for Robert Gene Walker. Walker told the deputy that he was driving past and noticed the plane on the runway. The deputy said Walker ``found the keys inside'' and started the plane, which eventually ended up nose-down in the grass.

FOOTNOTE: A wannabe stunt pilot? His career'll never take off.

    Hi David...trying to find contact info for you to talk about 'work from home' opportunities :). To be honest, I never thought about photography or my writing as anything more than a hobby. :)

  3. I dunno---if I had a spare $1500 on me, it just might be worth it! Especially if it took the law at least a half-hour to get there. Yeah, I'd do it! Make a GREAT conversation starter at the family reunion....!
