Haha, ya I've been putting it off forever. You wouldn't believe the grief I get at the DZ. "Why don't you have a camera yet?!?" blah blah blah. Really its because I normally only like seeing myself on video

I went with the .3 Raynox. But I agree, I'm sure I'll end up getting a .5 later as well. I have such a hard time saying NO to skydiving gear.

Glad to see so many positive postings about the CX-100, since I just ordered one! I'm going to start camera flying this season and I was looking for some advice on a lens (or two). I mostly freefly, and I tend to get in pretty close on most jumps, but I also jump with alot of new freeflyers so sometimes I stay far away :) I'm torn between getting a .3 or a .5, since I wouldn't mind getting into tandems or RW video later on down the road. Would it be best to just get a .3 now and get a .5 later if I get into that stuff, or take the middle road and get one of these inbetween lenses I've been seeing? Freeflyers, what brands do you love? Thanks!

he came after me too. it sounded pretty fishy to begin with. He told me there is a check in the mail. If it actually shows I'm going to send it to the cops.

This is what happens when you let "a friend" use your computer when he stops over for a beer and your browser saves your passwords for you. wonderful. Dave Todak ladies and gentlemen. He'll be at Lost prarie all week at the BJ tent giving out freebies.

Because I like having sex with men, that's how.

We DIDN'T go into Rwanda with military force and the entire world chastised us because there was a genocide of about 100,000 people and we didn't do anything about it. And then we went into Bosnia to try to stop a genocide and the entire world chastised us for being there. It goes on and on like this. And Somila was supposed to be a UN peace keeping mission. The UN ASKED us to go in there to protect the food shipments from being stolen by warlords, and our boys get shot at and killed. Military force is the only thing miserable terrorist dictator dipshits understand. You can't talk your way out of mugging in an alley, just the same why you can't nicely ask north korea to stop building nukes. Look at well thats worked. And if you don't think Saddam Hussian was a terrorist just because he was the head of government that I don't know what to tell you. He used chemical weapons on his own people suppressing a Kurd uprising and killed thousands. If thats not terrorism I don't know what is. You may hate Bush all you want, but he didn 't strafe protest marches on Penn Ave with AC-130s.

I never reply to posts like this, and I almost never post on DZ.com at all, but I'm sitting alert and bored, and Dave is on this thread so I though I'd get him riled up :) One thing I've noticed over the last ten years or so is that the American public is more and more unable to deal with the fact that it is impossible to make everyone happy. The damned if you/damned if you don't issues that arise in every major subject in politics these days are sickening. The rise of the internet and forums like this that give the average citizen a voice to thousands are only making things worse. Lets dumb it down a little. The US has traditionally been one of the only nations other than the UK to consistently give money and the lives of its citizens to help other nations in trouble who are our allies. True, alot of the time it is in our best intrests as a nation to help them (money, land, etc.). Lately though, the general public is very quick to attack the government for getting involved in "other people's problems". But, the public is just as quickly to attack when we DON'T help. Rwanda, Somila, Iraq, Kuwait, Bosina, the list goes on and on. For every horrible place we try to make better, there are 10 we aren't helping. Honestly I can't wait until people start protesting in the streets in China saying "Why aren't we stop the genocide in sub-saharan Africa?!" Everyone hates the cops, until they are getting robbed, and then they just complain that they weren't there. America IS the world's police officer. We adopted the role probably when we stuck our nose in WWI. And thats probably a good thing. Because if we didn't you can bet your ass the French wouldn't. I'm not saying that we are doing the right thing in Iraq or elsewhere. you know that if we didn't go into Iraq everyone of the self-serving assholes in our government would be the first ones to get in front of TV when another plane flew into a tower or a car bomb went off in NYC and say "See I told you we needed to take a harder stance on terrorism." Polictians will always back pedal when something goes wrong and pretend that they didn't support it. Thats why they are scum-sucking politicians. There are a few honest, geniune people in our government, but they wont ever get elected to the highest positions. They aren't "firm enough." I love it when politicans admit to mistakes or answer questions like "you know, I really don't know how to solve that problem." rather than bullshit you. This is officially a ramble on post so I'm going to close it up with this statement. I'm glad Bush's approval rating is low. It means he made tough decisions and didn't bend to public opinion polls. A president with an 80% approval rating would probably look like one of these morons on American idol. and I'm not going to go through the spell checker, because I've been awake for 36 hours and its too much work

Extremely experenced staff for a smaller dz, and some very good fun jumpers combined with a great dedication to having fun and being safe makes this one of the best DZs I've been too. No sky gods, and an awesome student program makes the DZ welcoming to new jumpers. Overall a perfect place to jump, hang out and have a blast.

I've been jumping a Freedom Means choice suit for quite some time now. I think its the best deal out there considering its custom made. I'm about to order some pants I like Karen's work so much.
