Ill have to remember about that one, the kids will get a kick out of it.

If anyone ever has a chance to watch one close up, do it. It's one of the most fantastic experiences you will ever have. Years ago we took our boat as close in on the Indian River as the Authorities would allow us to get, and anchored. Right before launch time the atmosphere starts to get eerie, everything like wildlife starts to get very quiet. Then things start to shake. The vibrations from the launch can be felt from miles away. Then this thing lifts above the trees and it is almost a religious experience watching it spewing fire as it climbs into the sky.

You can't fully explain to anyone what it is like, it's something you have to see for yourself.
