Bummer. I'll be working.

I wonder if my passengers would mind a slight detour.

If I were a passenger, I'd be all for it. Just make sure he drops past the plane closely.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yeah.  You can see a feather stuck in the leading edge of the first blade to the left of the two broken ones.

No, it was a mechanic on the tarmac. But I imagine an ingested skydiver would look pretty much the same.  :P

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
