A Different Sort Of Crane

to the feathered ones I blipped a while ago.

I like cranes. I wondered for years how they got the big arm on them. A bit like the same way I thought that when you opened a parachute you went upwards (you watch film of parachute jumpers and when the guy opens the parachute, he goes up. Took me years to understand that he didn't go up, he was just falling slower than the cameraman. Boy, did I feel stupid when I figured that out. Glad I never told anyone about it.)

Monday morning again. I was worried because it poured buckets last night and blew a gale. I was not looking forward to going to work. However, I was greeted with a quiet morning and clear skies. Lovely.

Then home and off to school. What did I learn? Not a lot.
