55 sats \ 5 replies \ @Scoresby 18 Nov \ on: I'm learning how to fly because I'm ready to die flying
Search an engine for animals and you know you're back to the basics. It's just you and your eyeballs and whatever faith they can lend that the engine hasn't been molested by some rabbits.
This is very nicely put. There are many reminders like this, that we live in a mechanical world, that the world is composed of a jumble of faintly organized little chunks, and that they can be rearranged marvelously, startlingly, sometimes by bunnies.
I hope that your experience of the mechanical world comes from rearranging air molecules and not airplane molecules.
When is the big day?

My theoretical exam is on Dec 3, and I need to redo my medical from five years ago since it expired in October. After that, only time and the weather will stand between me and my flight lessons.

Is this what you meant with "wild blue yonder"?

Sorry to be overly idiomatic! For me, wild blue yonder means that part of the sky that's up above the clouds and far away, perhaps over the horizon.

No, don't be sorry, I love learning about these idiomatic expressions!
I also loved randomly learning new words from @plebpoet.
