I was looking through my old photo's for a picture of a sign on Boigu. I came across that photo of the wrecked PBY on DG. Earlier on my news page there was a story of two British guys who'd been arrested in the waters off Diego Gracia protesting. The story had a picture of that plane, in much worse shape. Between those two things and my avatar it seemed like a natural choice for me.

Here's the story of "Katie:"

http://www.zianet.com/tedmorris/dg/pby.html

Edit: forgot to add...

DG is one of 33 emergency landing sites for the space shuttle, none of which have ever been used. (freaking long airstrip for a tiny atoll in the middle of no where!)

DG is one of 5 GPS control sites for the US military.

Back to our regularly scheduled game...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
