    Saratoga Springs has a horse race track, maybe you've heard of it. Rich people from all over the country show up and my house is right in the flight path of the local airport. Cool stuff flying over, a composite body pusher turbo-prop with a canard wing up front went by this morning. You could hear it coming a minute away. The usual Lear rentals, one big something with four jet engines, two at each wing tip. It's probably best I don't have money, my garage would be a hangar. I hate the track for the traffic, crowding and all the rich foks killing off the Mom & Pop stores to build condos.

    OK, back to work.

    I was up in Saratoga a few weeks ago. What a cool town!

    Same story here, except the season lasts 3 months vs. 5 weeks or however long the races go on for. Same goes for tearing down commerical properties and replacing them with condo's.

    I hated it while stationed there as well. One month of the year you can't get from one side of town to the other in under an hour where it's normally a 10 minute drive.
