No, your cognitive bias is failing to connect the dots. trumps failures in dealing with C-19 exaggerated the effects C-19 should have had on the economy. Saving lives, controlling the virus was his duty as president. He ceded that duty to Jared, to Pence, and finally to the states. All in a effort to escape his personal political liability. The lock-down's benefits of bringing the virus under control will soon be tossed away. Because trump and his followers want him re-elected. If that results in a second or third wave of deaths that will just be too bad for the dead. One less vote against him. You of Coreese know this. But its inconvenient to admit that for trump supporters deaths are just a number, just collateral damage to jumpstart the economy. Inconvenient to admit that trump fumbled the initial response. Bungled the time that the lock-down should have provided. If trump had initiated a national campaign of testing, contact tracing. Like was done within the WH.

Fuck. Fine. I fell for it.

They're now selling Kiss helmets for $199. I wonder if they're coming out with a new model to keep up with the G4... https://square1.com/product/kiss-helmet/

Oh, and I thought it a means to demonstrate your bigotry. My mistake.

When setting on a group jump to exit the plane. Floaters climb out of the door, and hanging on to the door frame or bar turn around to face back into the plane. Divers are in the plane facing the floaters. On the exit count the floaters let go and fall away from the plane, the divers dive out toward the floaters.

Dacron lines rock! The characteristics of dacron lines and slider grommets play well together, or some such thing.

I never jumped a Triathlon but I did jump a Spectre for a few years. The Spectre always landed very well, but the openings were unpredictable. I transitioned to a Storm with Dacron lines and I haven't been disappointed. If a smooth opening is high on your list of priorities then I would highly recommend those bulky Dacron lines on whatever canopy you choose. You wont be the "Cool Gal" on the dropzone, but your Chiropractor won't be making a fortune off you.

Somewhat similar to the "Ban Di-hydrogen monoxide" schtick. It's basically going to expose peoples' ignorance, gullibility and prejudices.

Are these the same people that refuse to wear masks because their god will protect them, yet they need AR-15's because he can't?

Kevin was my Dad. When I was around eight, we were driving somewhere, probably Elsinore. I asked him about tracking and how its done. He took about 20 minutes slowly explaining the idea of rolling forward slowly until the support slowly falls away in the front and you start to feel the beach ball under your waist. Then explained the balance of the ball and how moving slightly changes your pitch either direction. Twelve years later I got to try it and it came very easy. Thanks for the stories, keep them coming.
