  1. I am not defending guns, I am just saying... How many children were hurt or killed by second hand smoke or smoking themselves, alcohol, drugs, automobile accidents, skate boarding, skiing, drowning, domestic abuse, fast food, high fructose corn syrup.
  2. I think the spelling of "FOX News" is incorrect. Shouldn't it be "FAUX News".
  3. We had a cat that had an episode where he was laying still and wouldn't or couldn't move. After a little while he was fine and back to normal. Some time later the same thing happened again. As I recall, it happened a third time and again he went back to normal. We took him to the vet for an exam and it turned out he was throwing blood clots. The vet said there were things we could try but they were very expensive and not likely to be successful. While we were there, we decided to have him euthanized. While were sitting there with him in our lap waiting for the vet to come give him a shot, he threw another clot. It was really sad but it was the right thing to do.
  4. Which one. How about doing a demo with 1400 a foot ceiling exiting over a lake. I landed right on target.
  5. My wife works part time at a winery. Last night we went to a winery industry event for local winery owners and staff. I was talking with a banker at a small local bank that had loaned start up money for a couple small local wineries. I got to thinking it takes a lot of money to start a winery. You have to buy a lot of acres of land, put in trellises, plant grape vines that won't produce for 3 to 5 years. Then build a facility and equipment harvest, process and ferment the grapes then bottle the wine plus hire staff for the business. I thought there must be a cheaper way and it came to me how to reduce the start up cost, overhead and staff expenses. All I would need is bottling equipment. It is important to hire the right wine maker and I thought of the right person. I would hire Jesus as my wine maker because he can turn water into wine.
  6. Earth population 1950 2.5 billion Earth population 2020 7.7 billion Do you see a correlation to temperature. Looks like we have a people problem.
  7. This rig looks like a B12 modified with D rings and an extended container. I used to own and jump one with my American Papillon. I am also a rigger and have packed NB8 and NB6 rigs. This rig is not a modified NB8
  8. I was there in Muskogee sleeping in my van when I heard a lot of hooting and hollering. I opened the door, looked up and saw a bunch of parachutes. I soon learned they had built the 100 way.
  9. I heard that there have been a few loads flown this fall to 13,000 feet out of a Cessna TU206.
  10. The DZO is the only one that thinks I am one of the "7 words you can't say on TV" but all the other skydivers are glad that he is gone.
  11. I was manifested on a load to make a jump with a couple friends. We got bumped down a load because of tandems. I understand tandems are money makers. Well the plane sat on the ground for 20 minutes while they got the tandems ready. So we are up next. Before the plane lands, we are bumped down again for the next tandem load and the plane sits on the ground again. I have to scratch because I have to be somewhere. The DZO says to me "If I knew you had to leave, I would have sent your load". That didn't sit too well with me. The DZO is no longer operating at that airport. I guess I should mention that I own the airport.
  12. The midterm elections are on this coming Tuesday, November 8. On Wednesday the results will be reported. On Thursday, the campaigning for 2024 elections begin. Ok maybe Wednesday night.
  13. I consider Facebook anti social media. What friends, you probably don't even know most of the "Facebook friends" Things were better when you saw your friends in person, face to face.
  14. Back in the early 1970's before the energy crisis, I could buy gas for 33 cents a gallon. I had a VW beetle that got 33 mpg so gas cost one cent per mile. My girlfriend went to college 90 miles away so I could drive over to visit her and back for $ 1.80. That was cheaper than a 3 minute phone call.
  15. The election can't come soon enough for me, I am sick of seeing all the TV ads. Most of them are negative ads about the opponent. I am also not a fan of single issue campaigns. I am Big Falls and I approve this message.
  16. That's all fine and dandy unless you live down stream.
  17. Just build the wall in Panama, it would be a lot shorter.
  18. I watched the 60 minutes segment on Ukraine last night about the Russian soldiers murdering civilians. I thought it was horrendous. I wish every Russian citizen could see it.
