Having been an aircraft engineer, I have a rough idea, but I have never had the desire to pilot one. It is said that if flying was difficult, they would have the ground crew do it! 🤣

WYE crowd surf at a concert?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

I see people doing it in concert livestreams and videos and find it absolutely terrifying, so no.

WYE get a picture with an artist you admire if you just met them casually on the street or something? (I know people who have done this)

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

Probably not. I generally wouldn't want to intrude on their privacy. I may acknowledge that I recognise them and say 'Hi', but that would be about it.

WYE complain that the Ice Cream float that you ordered didn't have any ice cream in it? (It happened to me yesterday)



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

I wouldn't complain, but I'd question out of confusion.

WYE scuba dive?

Can't swim worth beans so probably not, but I would love to from the standpoint of loving aquatic life.

WYE do a multi-day back country hike?

That's exactly what I did! 🤣

Not without an engine to assist me!

WYE go BMXing?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Nope!

WYE go skydiving?

Not ever! I always prefer to let the aeroplane land before I jump out. 🪂😲

WYE go skinny dipping?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Never!

WYE snowboard?

Possibly

Love skiing but haven't snowboarded. Maybe something to try with daughters when the get older?

WYE solo on an airplane?

Nope, I don't have a licence. Besides, I always preferred Phixing rather than Phlying! 🤣(I was a Phantom Phixer.)

WYE fly in an open, vintage Biplane?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Yes, if the opportunity presented itself. NoT sure about a long-distance cross-country flight, say continental in scope.

WYE?

Sorry...

WYE be tempted to sail across the Atlantic in a sailboat?

Nope. If I ever do cross the Atlantic, it will be at thirty-five thousand feet.

WYE Sing in public?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

No, you would not want to hear me sing. No voice!

WYE fly into space if you had the opportunity

No way, José! I like Terra Firma too much.

WYE Howl at the moon?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Never would I ever!

WYE go caroling around your neighborhood?

Not a chance!

WYE listen to Hip-Hop and enjoy it?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

It has been known to happen. There are actually a few hip-hop and rap artists that I like.

WYE sing karaoke in front of a crowded room?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

No, not likely. Trust me, you don't want to hear me sing.

Would you ever just walk out on a job?

No, but that could be generational. I would likely submit a resignation and do the proper two weeks (standard notice in Canada).

WYE move a long distance just for a new job?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

Yes, if I thought the job was worth it.

WYE keep a bag full of money that fell from the back of a banks security van if you knew nobody saw you?

Well, I imagine they put some kind of trackers in those now (probably something more sophisticated than an Airtag) so I would hand it in assuming they would probably be able to find it anyhow. Would rather not inadvertently SWAT myself.

WYE join a "secret society" (Masons, Rosicrucians, etc.)?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

No. My thoughts on "Secret" Societies are that if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide and should be open and transparent.

If you won the lottery and if you could (many states in the U.S. require you reveal your identity), would you keep your winning secret from everyone outside your immediate family (I'm assuming you would want to help fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. Not so sure about the extend family, you'd probably here from cousins, nephews, nieces, etc., etc. you had never heard of!)

It would be mine, all mine. Mwahahaha! I would keep the knowledge as limited as possible until I had plans in place. After that, people would get their gifts (probably immediate and some extended family, depending on amount maybe some organizations I support) and then anyone can know because the money will already be spoken for.

WYE try living "off-grid" (ie. generate own electricity, water from a well or lake, etc.)?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

Hard to live off the grid in a major metropolitan area. But my brother lives on a farm near Winchester, VA and gets his water from a well, has a septic, grows his own vegetables, eggs from chickens, milk from goats, etc., electricity from solar and wind. Fortunately, he has a job that allows him to work remotely from home.

Would you ever try skydiving?

Nope, I see no reason to. As an ex-aircraft engineer, I would rather wait until the perfectly serviceable aeroplane landed before stepping through the door. On the other hand, if said aeroplane became unserviceable and was going to hit the ground somewhat harder than intended...

WYE go white water rafting?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Yes, I have an adventurous streak in me.

WYE Spend more money (assuming you had it to spend) on your car than on your house?
