On behalf of all Canadians I sincerely apologize for our failure to keep the floor of our forests swept clean. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in the Happy Valley Area As of 4 a.m. on June 8, Harrisburg ranked a 476 on the Air Quality Index, which only goes to 500. and Canadian wildfire smoke impacts visibility for Pennsylvania pilots Perhaps its pilots can get radar vectors from ATC to the spot to keep jumpers in PA. No word yet as to how many loads were cancelled and how many students cancelled jumping because of climate change. Perhaps the DZ operator will offer free ground and in the air oxygen to keep people around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one. The consensus seems to be that you have one at most. While you are compiling your mid year ipso facto please also take a look outside. Also, get ready to take a look at what's on the shelve's at the local dollar store. From where I'm reporting, not that Mifflin County, Pennsyltuckey isn't the end all, there is a serious water shortage problem that is associated with you know what. And it's affecting the freakin' Panama Canal, yo. Yep, they've already stopped some traffic on the NeoPanamax channel owing to a record low of water in lake Gatun. You'll recall from you day's on latrine duty that water flows downhill, same at the locks, goddamn! Some operators are already shortening, and or, redistributing loads etc. and looking at other routes. Now, I don't know, but I'm guessing that AR-15's and ammo aren't yet coming from China so you're good. But it is something to think about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
