I’d include the names of who you jumped with; someday in the future you’ll read that logbook for reminiscing purposes, and that’ll be key. Also a short comment when it’s particularly fun, exciting, or something else like that happened. Wendy P.

Two problems there bud. First, you can't just say that I do it without and have it be true. You need examples. Second, the thing you just said I do is not the same thing in reverse as the thing I said you do. Even the way you have specifically chosen to phrase your claim makes it quite clear that the same logical flaw does not necessarily apply. It is ironic that in attempting to demonstrate a non-existent irony, you have only further demonstrated your lack of understanding of either irony or logic.

You sound like you want to be fairly thorough. Good for you. I know a few people who simply write "Two way with 'X'" and call it good. I also know people who fill up the entire page with details about the jump. I'm not quite that anal, but pretty close. What I typically do is to start the entry after the dirt dive while waiting for the plane to come down. Names of people, planned exit, planned points on the jump. I use the actual names of the formations (I don't use the letter designations). It might be, for example, "Bow exit, then round, then satellite, then break in center and spin pairs, back to satellite, back to round. After the jump, I'll write down what really happened. Also, any notable things about the rest of the jump. Usually a note about the quality of the landing pattern and actual landing, anything unusually good or bad, anything I want to remember. Generally, I'll record: Who was on the jump. Usually just first names. What was supposed to happen (done before the jump). What actually happened. This is NEVER the same as what was planned. Opening quality, perhaps with a quick note about anything different I tried when packing for that jump. How good the pattern was (or wasn't). General accuracy (not in feet, but 'close' or 'not close' or something like that). And anything else that was noteworthy. This could be something that was said or happened on the plane, something really cool or really bad in freefall (diving down and getting to my spot is cool, nearly having a high speed collision is bad), something under canopy (I've had an eagle fly past me while I was under canopy, that was really cool). It's your logbook and your entry. Write down whatever you want. As much or as little. I don't know anyone who regrets writing down too much. I know a few who regret writing too little.

Why no one should be complacent just because they are vaccinated: An unvaccinated worker set off an outbreak at a U.S. nursing home where most residents were immunized. Altogether, 26 facility residents were infected, including 18 who had been vaccinated, and 20 health care personnel were infected, including four who had been vaccinated. Two unvaccinated residents also died. The report underscores the importance of vaccinating both nursing home residents and health care workers who go in and out of the sites, the authors said. While 90 percent of the 83 residents at the Kentucky nursing home had been vaccinated, only half of the 116 employees had been vaccinated when the outbreak was identified in March of this year.

Hi Keith, Why? To me, it is also 'not an absolute.' This means, to me, that the SCOTUS can revise any of their previous interpretations. This is actually done more than most of us notice. Jerry Baumchen

And he loves him some free roads, because that's different.

So under Democrats gun sales go up, stock market performs better and less abortions take place. Why do you vote Republican?

When Mexican coyotes are dropping children over trump's obviously very effective wall. You wouldn't want the wall to tip over like it did before when the wind was blowing? Seriously two little girls. Do you have no shame? No compassion for anyone who isn't white?

No doubt. Nevertheless, per the study, reducing magazine size has a noticeable effect on mass shootings. I think this is one case where actual experience with an "assault weapon" ban is important to consider, and overrides theoretical considerations on how one might get around it.

LCM= large Capacity Magazine "Between 1990 and 2017, there were 69 high-fatality mass shootings. Attacks involving LCMs resulted in a 62% higher mean average death toll. The incidence of high-fatality mass shootings in non–LCM ban states was more than double the rate in LCM ban states; the annual number of deaths was more than 3 times higher. In multivariate analyses, states without an LCM ban experienced significantly more high-fatality mass shootings and a higher death rate from such incidents. Conclusions. LCM bans appear to reduce both the incidence of, and number of people killed in, high-fatality mass shootings. The recent spate of gun massacres in the United States has re-energized the debate over how to prevent such tragedies.1 A common response to high-profile acts of gun violence is the promotion of tighter gun legislation, and there is some evidence that laws imposing tighter restrictions on access to firearms have been associated with lower levels of mass shootings.2 One proposal that has received renewed interest involves restricting the possession of large-capacity magazines (LCMs).3–5 This raises an important question: what has been the impact of LCM bans on high-fatality mass shootings?" There have actually been a couple studies similar to this. Sometimes the shooter pauses to reflect on what they are doing after one magazine is empty. Sometimes they fumble and have issues changing magazines due to the stress of the situation. Other instances have shown that the shooter couldn't recall how to chamber an new round from a fresh magazine. These are generally not skilled shooters.
