re: #548 Occasional Reader

Good morning.

Thoughts or prayers, please (your preference) for the crew and passengers of Air France flight 447.

I hope they’re all safe and sound, bobbing around in life rafts, awaiting rescue. But it’s not looking good.

Search and rescue appears to be concentrated around the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha (which is where my wife and I honeymooned).

Any polar bears there? Strange, subterranean wheels? Nervous men in jumpsuits?
