The coolest thing I've ever seen in person

[The STE]

It also outranks a lot of things I've seen on TV or the computer. Last weekend I was on my way to Wichita, and just outside Kansas City, by the outer road, was a lake. In the lake, was this:
(apologies in advance for the picture size)

that's a grill-type metal dome, and in that is a hole...in the water.


These pictures were taken by me personally, nothing has been done to them. There is a way into the hole, but I couldn't get to it. From what I could see it looked like there was a door in there, too, but I can't confirm. The picture of me next to the no tresspassing sign didn't turn out good enough to post

that is pretty cool ... sort of James Bondish ..


the coolest thing i've seen in person -

i saw a cloud thing i cant begin to describe properly once ...
it was so weird i stopped the car to look at it ..

2 black rainclouds side by side .. the sky was black except for a long wiggly thread of pure gold where the sun got through.

another was while driving in the countly .. a mass migration of birds moved from the cornpatch on one side of the roar to the other right over us .. so sense we couldnt see the sky.

and yet another while driving .. coming home on a back road on a foggy night from a friends house ... the road was suddenly covered with frogs ..
my buddy got out and tried to get them to move at first but there was so many of them we had to give up and drive ...
It was cool to see the frogs but the grossest ride in my life.

and scuba diving in Grand Caymans .... that had to top everything ...sea turtles swimming by ... sting rays, and a slope of eel grass 75 feet down that shot under the sand as i got near ..
undescribable ..

One of the coolest things I ever saw was the view I had riding in the nose cone of a WWII B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber.
You could see below, both sides, above and straight ahead with a completely unobstructed view. It felt like you were flying in mid-air. Being a huge aviation enthusiast it was easily the best $300 I ever spent for a 60 minute flight

lol.....I can relate. I hate heights except for flying. I love it. 1/3 of the way through flying lessons. I feel completely safe up there....but put me on a cliff or tall building looking over the sides and forget about it!!!!
