Subject: The movie "Fly Away Home"

Just thouhgt that you all would like to know.

I took my daughter to see the knew movie that is out about this girl
from Canada and her wild geese.  I think the real story is about a guy
and his wild gees, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, to keep from destroying the plot for anyone taking their
young'uns to the theatre, the girl goes to live with her daddy.  He
has sculpture, little clay things on the table of his dining room and
I think cool dragon, but nothing else.  Then they show him working on
the life size of the clay model he built, what a wonderful forge and
it is filmed so nicely.  The dragon is great.  The old power hammer is
wonderful, the tools, the fire, everything.  If I can I am going to
get a still shot from the movie and make it into my wallpaper for my
windows program.  The first new movie I've seen with a real honest to
goodness forge.

Now my questions.  Am I a day late and a dollar short on this one, and
everyone but me knew about it?  Does anyone have any idea whos forge
it is, if in fact it is a real forge, and I rather doubt that it is
not?  Who did the dragon (I want a picture)?  And finally, what is the
airspeed velocity of a laden goose?

Thanks for putting up with me guys.

Hey, wasn't the photography great? Good film, although I thought that
the documentary done on PBS was better. The girl was magnificent in the
movie, "The Piano".
Now the answers: I don't know, and 31 miles per hour.

Geese in the Vee formation fly at about 60 mph.

Haven't seen the movie, yet. But I'll wait til it reaches the cheaper seats.
One company owns all the movie houses in town. Their first run seats cost
either $6.50 or $7. Their second run house costs $2.25 per ticket.

I'd like to know about the forge and all that, too.

I saw the previews on this one, thought everything looked authentic 
but the blacksmith!! He spends a lot of time tapping on something then 
putting it back in the fire. Kind of how I operate...
