Somebody Fightin' For a Place to Stand

Congratulations to Mr. Andrew Tuegel for correctly naming "Gravity" by The Other Former Mr. Jennifer Anniston, a.k.a. John Mayer, as the Saturday Song of the Day. I'll be the first one to tell that I couldn't take Mayer seriously back in his "Your Body is a Wonderland" days, but what the man does here with a guitar is nigh un-Godly.

In the 21st century, it is incredibly difficult to imagine someone simply disappearing for over a year without a trace, and today, one of those rare mysteries came a little closer to some semblance of a resolution.

On September 3, 2007, millionaire businessman/adventurer Steve Fossett took off from Barron Hilton's ranch in Nevada flying a single-engine airplane. As Fossett reached cruising altitude he turned towards the Sierra Nevada and wasn't heard from again...at least until today.

The wreckage of the plane that the millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett was flying when he disappeared more than a year ago has been found in the Sierra Nevada of east-central California, the authorities said Thursday.
The plane was discovered in several pieces strewn across a wide area in the Ansel Adams Wilderness section of Inyo National Forest, about 120 miles south of the Nevada ranch where Mr. Fossett, piloting a Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon, departed on Sept. 3, 2007, for what he had said would be a brief flight. His failure to return had prompted the largest air and ground search in American history, across a 17,000-square-mile region.
