Hey fumar,

Thanks for the artwork. Looks good.

Have I got a book for you. Something tells me that you may be a flyboy. If so, you will really like this one. The Happy Bottom Riding Club by Lauren Kessler.

Wait! Wait! Wait, fumar. Wait! I know you want to run away to draw a picture to go with that title. But there's more.

The rest of the title is The Life and Times of Pancho Barnes. But in case you are still here and even though you may already know this, I just need to make it clear for anybody else who may not. Pancho Barnes for a time was "the fastest woman on earth," flying the fastest civilian airplane in the world.

And she called herself "the greatest conversation piece that ever existed."

The Happy Bottom Riding Club was the name of her bar out there in the desert where Yeager and the boys liked to hang out. The bar was in The Right Stuff.

Uh oh. I think I may have just tried to give the great fumar homework. Oh well, he probably ran off two paragraphs ago to draw a new picture inspired by this title?

fumar, fumar, are you still here?

Boomer
