Joan Tree laughed "Go ahead and beg me not to hang you. It won't work. I want to see your tight little swing!"
#1 and in foggy weather too is a completely crazy idea. She could land on the ground very quickly and her remains would look small, black and ugly.
A mail order blue state bride, skips out on her bridal ceremony with Billy-Bob Tree and takes refuge in an Arkansas corn field in the hope that no one will think of looking for her there.
It’s a forlorn hope. The baying of hounds can already be heard off in the distance, and she is beginning to wonder, with not a little trepidation, exactly what the penalty for standing up a groom at an Arkansas wedding might be?
Oooooh.....Such a big horse!
Haven't you already been through this before? Moore than once?

Barb is a glutton for punishment - that's why she's in here
Six months at the County Work Farm. Check out Tibool's Chain Gang Girls for all the fun.

Only if she touches two power lines simultaneously, up there!
But it is indeed not worth the effort of climbing, when the weather is foggy!

#2 is barb hiding from the bounty hunters in Arkansas
But as a note: At high voltages, lightning can penetrate through the air. About 1.15 m (3.78 ft) at 400 kV, a normal transmission voltage. In fog, the air is less of an insulator, so lightning can strike at a greater distance. Because you are then standing on a metal mast (i.e. the earth as the second pole) and for the voltage you are just an object filled with liquid with a high carbon content.Only if she touches two power lines simultaneously, up there!

In other words... toast.

I refer to my post on this thread about a year ago, about wayward young Ladies in dangerous flying machines :
https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threa...ther-than-ai-please.6752/page-250#post-825062
"While staying in Paris, young Althea Moore from Minnesota, got the daring idea to hire an airship to fly herself from the Champs de Mars to the Vincennes Hippodrome, to attend the horse races, and afterwards fly back.
When her parents learned about this exploit, fearing young Althea would never be able to get a decent husband anymore, they sent her as a Blue State mail order bride to Arkansas, where the Tree family would take care of her!

Over the decades there have been several proposals to bring back airships for a variety of reasons - not least of which is enormous fuel efficiency compared to conventional aircraft, especially when speed is not an important factor.Here are a few more modern airship concepts;
Firstly we have a purely science fiction idea from the late 1960s - Skyship 1, featured in the Supermarionation film Thunderbird 6 (1968)
Here's an idea for a smaller and slightly more manageable airship;
This one looks like it belongs in the game Crimson Skies
My favourite concept is this one, though it would be completely impossible to build and operate - the upper deck looks like something off a cruise liner and even has an enormous swimming pool! Just look how huge this thing is - Even so, I don't believe that this thing is anywhere close to being big enough to hold enough lifting gas to get a huge swimming pool off the ground, but it really looks awesome!
And finally, here's a real one - the Airlander (aka the flying bum - viewed from the front end it will be obvious why
) - primarily designed for cargo transport with the ability to land and take off like a helicopter, without the need for ground crew assistance, but also capable of carrying 100 passengers to a range of some 2000 nautical miles, or 130 passengers at reduced range. The prototype first flew in 2012, while the version pictured here took to the skies in 2016 and has proven that the concept is absolutely viable. As of 2023, the Spanish operator Air Nostrum has an ongoing order in place for 20 Airlanders to be delivered over the next few years, so if all goes according to plan, airships may see some form of limited comeback for certain aviation markets...
Uh oh, Tree. I think I made a wrong turn somewhere. This doesn’t look like St Louis!

You’re in luck because Riesling is big in France. You’ll be right at home
