My roommate got back on Tuesday from Mason City, Iowa.
That's the part of the world where Buddy Holly's plane went down. While up there, doing "chores" from his deceased grandfather, who gave him specific tasks to do to keep the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house his grandmother lives in up to standard, his cousin called him, and took him to see something. It seems that Buddy Holly's glasses are still up there in private hands. My roommate put them on and walked around with them on for a bit.
On Tuesday, my roommate left Mason City on a Northwest commuter flight in a small turboprop plane. Right out of the airport something went wrong, and one of the engines started spewing black smoke. The plane went into a spiral, and the pilot initated a counterspiral to correct it, bringing the falling plane down about a half a mile from the runway, one wing shattered. Northwest got them on another flight, comped free drinks for the entire trip, and refunded their tickets.
Kinda odd, that. You can bet I'm never putting on those glasses.
