I don't know if I did see the latest clam-baker. Was it that jumbo on the trailer prototype? Perhaps a hundred of Larry's jets would have fit inside it. All I know is that pulsejet designing toys with human emotion. You may walk like a zombie not even conscious of where you are going, after many hours tired from trying "just one more thing." All you can do is take your best shot and hope you haven't gone down the same dead end maze as others before you. Or perhaps it is like some carnival game, it looks easy but the odds are way against you. You pay your nickel and take your chances.
