learning to pilot when he was young, patrick was told never to fly into a cloud bank. when a forbidden, eerie cloud over the continental divide beckoned to him, he flew into it and lost all sense of direction. he didn't panic. he came out of the clouds in a tailspin, laughing, but after that he decided it was more fun to fly low and buzz herds of stupid navajo sheep.
