September 2008
Seemingly simple things can amaze us, but only if we take a moment to appreciate them. As my long-suffering wife and children can attest, one of my simple, guilty pleasures is watching seagulls fly. Sure, they’re dirty, disease-carrying annoyances. And they sometimes steal my kids’ hot dogs. But when you watch them in flight, you can't help but marvel at the subtle yet incredible level of control that they have over their domain.
We often marvel at the engineering magic of an airplane, but no smoke-spewing 737 can hold a candle to the way a usually-ignored birdbrain can ever so slightly curve a wingtip and change direction almost via telepathy.
The next time you're out in the back yard or sitting on the beach, I hope you'll take the time to take in the show. I think you'll be impressed.
