Seems an appropriate ending...

 ML> That would be eccentric but in a somewhat pleasant way.

With a bit more experience, we could tell that it was likely more
eccentric than we were up to... ;)  That, and not really having enough
space here, then, and even more so, now..  ;)

Indeed.

Yes, Odd that...  Have to admit, I was thinking about our earlier
conversation about PeoplExpress... and space aliens and all...  And,
as they aren't finding any debris, that it probably was diverted
elsewhere... 

 ML> I just checked my schedule and find no 777 flights coming

Point.

 ML> And we go on Lufthansa tomorrow to Munich.

Go safely... ;)
