  1. The guy who did the "harvesting" of ballots should go to prison for some serious time. There was a women around Raleigh I think, who was sentenced to 9 months in jail for helping her boyfriend vote when he was not eligible to vote. Dowlass (sp) has been under investigation for several years for the same type of behavior. When NC passed the Voter ID law, they declined or refused to address the issue of absentee and mail in ballots. Only voting in person. And now the voter ID law has been stopped because of the gerrymandered districts that a judge said were illegal so the entire legislative assembly is being called into question.
  2. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is probably the best, closest beach. East on I-20 through Florence SC. Maybe Savanah but I've never been there. 7 hours or more to Daytona Beach.
  3. Satire like this can be dangerous if read by those with room temperature IQs. (Or who are you and what have you done with Bill)
  4. . But only you whine incessantly about socialism. I am fully in favor of universal healthcare, SNAP, air traffic control, police and fire services, national parks, and other socialist entities. I refer to those as social services. Socialism is the institution of power and control over all society. Socialism evolves into communism. Therefore, I believe we must thwart its expansion to keep America free. I like that phrase. You've made me realize that I'm for Democracy with social services. What a progressive idea.

  5. Don't take the brown acid. I was in the hospital in Cam Rahn Bay at the time. Malaria is a bitch. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  6. You must be from the South also. And I didn't go low. You guys floated. But bless your heart anyway. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  7. Yes, Ron is an inspiration to us all. . . Personally, I have no problem with using foul language as an emphasis since I'm a walking and talking adult human being. But If I were to call you a "fucking asshole," then ya, that might be a problem. . . I'm from the South and down here we say, "Well, bless your heart."

    How does your brother feel about bambi burgers.

  10. Exciting, isn't it? Everything going to slow motion, the windshield looks like a video game.

  11. You maybe should talk to Ron. I don't agree with most of what he says but he expresses himself clearly and intelligently without the foul language. Ask him what he thinks of your posts. I'm not sure but he may say that they're counter-productive. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

  13. These are the types of incidents that Kaepernick was protesting. Not disrespecting the flag or service members. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  14. He's been doing it his entire life; why change now? He is nothing more than a 5-yr old with a podium. Jerry Baumchen There was a Twilight Zone episode where a boy about 8 or 9 had the power to do some thing terrible to people. Make them disappear or something. Every one was very afraid of him because everything had to be exactly the way he wanted it. If anyone made the slightest mistake he would make them pay. Fear was in every eye of every one. Finally a tutor comes in and cajoles him to slightly better behavior. But the tutor seemed to have the ulterior motive of becoming the "power behind the throne". trump is like the little boy.

  15. Apart from the obvious issue of granting the President the power to unilaterally change the Constitution by executive order (leaving essentially no daylight between "President" and "Dear Ruler") How many generations back would someone have to be able to document their US citizen ancestors? Don How about 50 generations? Then the only real citizens would be what the Canadians call the First Nations. We're all immigrants.

  16. I'm thinking that trump must have signed an executive order rescinding the Golden Rule. And the one about Love Thy Neighbor. We already know he thinks the "Ten Commandments" is multiple choice.

  17. Same here. Very easy for a minor fuck-up to kill you. Joe Morgan told me, "What goes up must come down.

  18. Put your rig on then pull on a pair of shorts. Make the jump and take the shorts off to walk back to the packing area. "You said no JUMPING naked."

  20. Try NOT thinking about how to do it. Think about what you want to do. You don't think about how to walk, you just do it. Granted, you have a lot more experience walking than skydiving but after 15 minutes of freefall you have much more mobility than you had after 15 minutes when you were learning to walk. Or after 15 minutes of learning to swim. And there's only three places you can be on this planet. On the ground, in the water, or in the air. Skydiving is simply mobility in a different medium.

  21. This is a really important story that everyone should see and think about. But I'm afraid it will be like "An Inconvenient Truth", Almost no one will do anything about it.

  22. Right. Fuck Kaepernick for standing up for equality for ALL Americans. He should definitely be lynched for personifying the best of American values. Kaepernick is a better patriot than any of his critics. Does anyone remember why Kaepernick started taking a knee in the first place? It was to protest, and try to bring attention to Police involved shootings of unarmed black men. It's the style of protest that is getting everyone's knickers in a knot to the point of disregarding the reason. If some one yells, "HEY! THAT GUY IS STEALING YOUR CAR!" do you ignore what he says so that you can reprimand him for shouting in an inappropriate place? The lack of justice for the innocent dead black men is far more disrespectful of the flag than any kneeling could be.

  23. Nothing makes the good ol' days as good as a bad memory. But there were times.. If you ever run across those tapes, I would pay to have it put on a disc. I can watch a mediocre skydive with ME in it 100 times. A world record 8 way maybe 8 or 10 times. "The older I get, the better I was."

  24. I'm looking for a video of the jumps we did at Pit Meadows in '86. Maybe the best day of skydiving I ever had. We did five 100 way attempts in one day. We got a 97, a 98, a 99 and even a 100 way when Norm Kent docked 100th in place of someone who went low. Most of the same group met again at the Nationals Boogie a few weeks later and made the official record on the second try. (The first one was a comedy of FUBAR) It was really cool to do it in front of the crowd at Nationals but the five jumps at Pit Meadows were even more fun. I'm wondering if anyone from back then might have the video of those jumps. I sure would like to be reminded of how good I used to be. I'm going to post this on the Bonfire also because I'd really like to see it again. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
