You knew who would find that as well. I once rode in to the Santa Ana Mountains, scrambled on some
rock ledges and watched a Blue Angels air show in El Toro from on high. They had a turnaround right
in front of me and waved back every time they passed (very close).

She was going to, but like a fool I told her not to bother, thinking we'd be able to get one if we
needed it. D'oh.

To answer the original question - all of the above.
