As I travel through the northwest, I pass by a lot of farmland. Now and then I get to see crop dusting planes flying by, dumping pesticides or fertilizer on crops. Watching these pilots dip and dive is a fascinating sight.
The sheer talent these people have make me want to get a pilots license, just so I can learn to do this. Granted, I never plan on being a farmer, but simply having the skill to pilot a plane and to do aerial acrobatics would itself be a great reward.
One day. One day I will fly a plane, just so I can say "look what I can do.
A bonus is being able to take pictures like these to show my boys. They're 3 and 5, and love airplanes. Telling them about crop dusters and showing pictures like this to them blows their minds. Hopefully one day I'll be able to take them out into Idaho or Montana farmland and go "watch this, boys..."
Whether it's me controlling the plane, or just pointing out a pilot doing his thing, I know the boys will be absolutely floored. To see a plane this close to you, this close to the ground... it's jaw-dropping.
So you're probably asking... what does this have to do with my dog? Well, same words (crop dusting) but a different meaning. Here is the definition of crop dusting from the urban dictionary:
This. Is. My dog. Melody has some NASTY gas, and will walk into a room, squeak out a silent one, and walk away before it blasts my nose. Either that or she'll be completely asleep and foofing away. Recently my girlfriend and I were watching a movie. She was exhausted and kept drifting away, falling asleep in my arms...
...then a scent would hit her nostrils. Faster than you can scream "WAKE UP!" she would shoot straight up, look at the dog, and go "Melody, outside NOW!" The dog wouldn't have it, and stayed put.
Now, when I want to, I could have some really ripe farts. But this dog... THIS DOG blows my bowels out of the water. I don't know how she does it... we feed her a premium food that isn't supposed to cause gas. Maybe she's getting into something she isn't supposed to?
Regardless, I need to hang one of those pine-tree air fresheners off her tail, as close to her ass as I can get. This dog is just plain messed up...
