What do you think of that philosophy?
The first thought that crossed my mind was that Icelandic Air has alot of flights and I believe they all go through Reykjavik. (g)

My second thought was that, if you're seeing that many contrails, so as to navigate by them, you're probably already in Sheepshead Bay.

I'm going to quit thinking about this because I know it's only a matter of time before somebody posts that their dog can always find his way home and advocate dropping him over the side every morning to see which way he swims. (g)
