not moving yet

You can hear them first, before you see them, since it takes a great force to make the little white plane/birds lift off the base. And then they click, and click some more. You can stand around and wait. It is a smelly place and there is wind, but it takes a bit for lift off.

That's me. I'm waiting for lift off. Freedom has its own challenge. Choice. I'm responsible for all that happens during my escape. My list grows and time shrinks. Im not really moving yet. Just like this gadget I discovered at Fort Mason. Even the winds of the afternoon couldn't make them fly. They are rated to move at 15 miles per hour and up to the top bar when it reaches 25 mph . I'd like to try it...I hope I'll know when I am at top speed.
