I think your shoelaces are untied... I think you've missed the point entirely. The Wright brothers weren't the least bit interested in a commercial or private aircraft industry. They were just out to show people could fly a heavier than air machine. Wilbur Hubbard I KNOW your shoelaces are untied. For your information, I wear sandals that have hook and loop fasteners on the straps. When I'm not wearing sandals I'm bare footed.

It has two "bows" in it so it must be a double bowline? And since it isn't tied in the end of a line it must be in the bight so a "double bowline in a bight"? You certainly are losing it, aren't you.
