Mmmmm, I can completely believe this happened: both John snickering helplessly, & Rodney shutting him up most satisfactorily--not once, but twice! Rodney has no reason for being surprised though. John is an exceedingly good pilot, & has demonstrated his skills at handling all kinds of controls & joysticks many times.... ;-)

This was a lovely way to start a dreamy Saturday. Thank you for writing & sharing!
