    I see you that and raise you:

    Name:  bookmarks.jpg

    ....each of those folders contains at least 30-40 links. Some of them (like the cabin and structure one that is open there) have 300+ links. I think if I opened them all at once, the computer would catch fire.

    ..You might be addicted if 95% of your paycheck, as a part time cashier for a grocery store for minimum wage, goes straight to flight lessons.
    ..You might be addicted if you and your girlfriend stop going on dates to buy AVGas

    ...the first thing you do when purchasing a ball cap is remove the button on the top.

    You might be hopelessly addicted to aviation if....

    Waco rhymes with Taco and is not a city in Texas, and yes it is my dogs' name.

    You've owned 29 airplanes in 30 years, currently own 6 and still read Trade-A-Plane religiously.

    You and your friends work your butts off to put together a major national fly in, swear you'll never do it again and then you do it again, and again, and again.....

    You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.
