A weekend or two ago at Strathalbyn airstrip, South Australia, we were
watching  a planeload  of student  parachutists  on jump  run in  good
conditions when the plane circled around  again and radioed down to us
for a weather check.

EXPLANATION: One particularly large skydiver  had gone to sleep on one
arm of our target cross, turning it from  an X (all clear) to a T. The
plastic cross was cleaner than the grass.

You can choose your own moral to this story:

   Moral1: Put a fence around your cross.
   Moral2: Use a dirty, grotty-looking cross.
   Moral3: Write "do not lie on this cross" on your cross.
   Moral4: Ban large skydivers.
   Moral5: Ban skinny crosses.

Blue Skies,
