  1. Skydive Finger Lakes has not been jumping this season at the Ovid Airport in Ovid, N.Y. and will not be jumping there in the future, their lease has expired. There may be skydiving at the Ovid Airport with a different operator some time in the future.
  2. Many years ago, I studied French in high school but it mostly geared to writing and reading and very little spoken. I can still read French and get most of the meaning but spoken, nothing.
  3. Biden ran his whole presidential campaign from his basement. Is he running the county from the basement also.
  4. I think the same can be said about athletes also.
  5. I think that statements belongs in the joke of the day thread.
  6. In the past, every time Saddam Hussein or some other leader in the middle east did something, the price of oil and gas went up immediately. It was a knee jerk reaction and had nothing to do with the oil and gas that was already in the gas stations, storage tanks or refineries. When Biden instituted his "war" on fossil fuels, a similar reaction took place. I am not saying that was the only reason but it contributed. Supply and demand keeps coming up. There is an increased demand but I haven't seen and shortage of gas so far. Somebody is making a lot of money off of the situation.
  7. Before I even read the article, I was thinking the shooters were suicidal and wanted to be famous. Good article
  8. Is the rate of Covid lower in Canada than the US because you stay 2 meters apart rather than 6 feet?
  9. If Tucker Carlson really believes everything he is saying, how does that reflect on him. If he is just saying it because he is being paid a lot, that does not reflect on him very well either.
  10. I live with the results like everyone else.
  11. I am registered Republican and have voted Republican and Democrat but sometimes I can't bring my self to support either candidate.
  12. If athletes get athletes foot what do astronauts get........................Missile toe.
  13. I just watched this 25 minute interview with a captured Russian soldier. It was really interesting.
  14. A large percentage of Senators and Congressmen are men, and old. How would they like it if there was a law prohibiting the removal of their prostate if they got cancer.
  15. Skydiving became a lifestyle for me long ago. I have spent 70% of my life at the DZ and wasted the other 30%.
  16. We are already paying for the first 13 years (K-12) and maybe more with pre-K. Now they want us to pay for the next 4 or 5. I can see a no interest loan and extending the pay off years but cancelling debt, no way.
  17. The earth is very complicated, weather, climate, earthquakes, volcanos, ice ages, meteors, sun spots, solar flares, ??. Scientists have and will continue to make predictions, computer models have and will be made. We need to keep track of the ones past and future to determine their accuracy and not just report the ones that came true. The earth will be here for a long time in the future. Many species have gone extinct. Many will go extinct in the future, humans probably will also.
  18. I hope they bring lots of $$$$ to help pay New York taxes.
  19. Back in the early 1970's, I attended a couple evening lectures at Cornell given by Carl Sagan. He spoke about the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico. They were looking for radio transmissions from intelligent life in other parts of the galaxy. He said many of the stars were about 25 light years away and if other intelligent beings had a radio telescope aimed in the direction of our solar system, they would be picking up 25 year old radio transmissions from earth. When they received the transmissions from I Love Lucy, they would know there was no intelligent life in this part of the galaxy. Projected on the screen, there was a constellation of a 6 legged unicorn viewed from another location in our galaxy looking toward our solar system. He said do you see that star at the base of the unicorn's tail, that is our sun. He had a sense of humor.
