An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently. Posts not currently on the main page are available in the archive. Established December 6, 1999

And Remember: The Howard Hughes plane, "The
Spruce Goose" was actually made of birch wood. The
nickname was not invented for the Hughes plane anyway.
At the time, almost any wooden plane was nicknamed a
Spruce Goose. When Hughes built the massive aircraft,
the media just perpetuated the name. It is said that
Hughes greatly disliked the moniker.
