According to the right wing noise machine it was nothing more than something to be expected when you live in a nice neighborhood in a liberal state. Of course, hopes and prayers for Mr.Pelosi are being offered as expected. Anything but to acknowledge Trump, R politicians and Fox et al. are responsible. And still odds are that too many voters will vote against Biden and his perceived economic wrongs rather than the preservation of American democracy in this election. American exceptionalism, indeed.

If you have sincere suggestions, I recommend you (and everyone else) put your thoughts into an email and send it to Ron Bell, director of safety and training. I would also cc Michael Watkins, chair of the safety and training committee on the board. The vast majority of everything in the SIM, the governance manual, and the other documents published by USPA come from the field. We rely on this input and ideas from the membership to hone our documentation. It's a group effort. Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts here. It makes all the difference in the world to know our membership and rating holders are engaged.
