And yet the folks who went absolutely ballistic about the Clinton Foundation's "misdeeds" (none of which were proven true) are... Silent.

Hi Robert, In a 'normal' election year, I would agree. However, I think that next year it will be simply a referendum on Trump: Yes/No Jerry Baumchen

I don't completely disagree with you. My triathlon is not the BEST tool, it is an ADEQUATE tool. Cheers Craig

I have no idea how this got so complicated. I'd just do it. There are some basic rules like don't use a slider with grommets significantly wider then your cell. Depending on the length of your stabilizers your slider should not be setting on your bottom skin when packing. If it's so much wider that it's just crumpled on the bottom skin the fabric will not be holding the grommets up the lines till they slide low enough to lift the fabric off the bottom skin. Only then will the wind be holding it up. That's a fairly extreme limit but I have seen people make that mistake. Don't people futz with there gear any more? Lee

apparently, you don't read very well? I've documented exactly what is going on. 1) Confirmed the placard goes in the stairwell 2) Established it's weight. 3) Explained the controls. 4) Explained the different placards. 5) It's not an exterior type placard even thought the stairs are considered outside they are protected.

If you want to try Florida, recommend either Skydive Deland or Skydive City in Zephyrhills. Both have very robust AFF programs with a number of options. Both have fun jumper groups on Facebook that often post rooms, apartments, houses for rent for reasonable prices. They both fly seven days a week in the winter, so you could jump as much as you want. Both dropzones host many international jumpers over the winter, so you would be able to meet with a very diverse group while there. You would probably even be able to find others there who speak Canadian. And yes, Zephyrhills is the home of water, so you would also have that going for you. Good luck wherever you opt to learn. Have fun, and remember, a good arch cures a lot of problems.
