Here in Coastal Carolina, you don't see too many people hang gliding. Ol' Zeke decided to save up and get a hang-glider. He takes it to the dunes, and after struggling to the top, he gets ready to take flight. He takes off running and reaches the edge--into the wind he goes!

Meanwhile, Maw & Paw Hicks were sittin' in the cockpit of their Cal twentysomthing talkin' 'bout the good ol' days when Maw spots the biggest bird she ever seen!

" Look at the size of that bird, Paw!" she exclaims.

Paw raises up," Git my gun, Maw." She ducks into the cabin, brings out his pump shotgun. He takes careful aim. BANG...BANG.....BANG.....BANG! The monster size bird continues to sail silently over the mast tops."

"I think ya missed him, Paw," she says. "Yeah," he replies, "but at least he let go of ol' Zeke!"
