Unfortunately, me bucko, nay as draggy as I thought it would be.  T' A still got it up thar and it immediately began headin' for t' one tree left by t' parkin' lot.  Cleared that, and t' wires, and t' first car, but nay t' second one.  They never even touched t' brake.  T' rocket bounced into oncomin' traffic and t' body tube be smashed flat.  As I was leavin' I noticed fins all over by t' stoplight.  I did manage t' save t' nose cone and parachute.
