Trump like Putin because Putin is strong. Putin likes Trump because Trump is weak.

Correct. Bill didn’t understand Mac’s background at the time. During my copycats talk the previous day, which Bill saw, I mostly skipped over Mac, for obvious reasons. So Bill probably assumed due to Mac’s age that he was one of the Vietnam copycats like LaPoint, Heady, Goodell, or McCoy. So I made sure to ask him at the start of our interview (already knew the answer of course) whether he was a felon at the time, which he was. He had a prior felony for burglary. At the time he decided to do the skyjacking he was scouting out the routes on several Brinks trunks. As I’ve said numerous times, he’s the only one of my canonical six copycats who was a legitimate criminal. He was essentially just a bank robber who thought this could be a good score. Mac also made sure to point out that his own hijacking was not victimless. Two of the stewardesses claim to still have nightmares from it. Humans are so very different from one another with how they handle things because his “Tina”, Sharon, is good friends with him now. They were texting each other this weekend and he was sending her pictures.

Not unexpected. They want to be in control of all facets of whatever is in their purview to be in control of - imho of course. I sensed that years ago when I tried to have simple conversation with them about _ _ _ _ _ now if you gave them $1mil as a donation maybe they would open up ? They may cite rules they must follow which precludes Jack vs Mary, or ten fingered vs 7 fingered, or nobody over 5'7" , and the like ? Libraries can be quirky as hell unless it is them wanting something .................. and there is likely a political component or two or twenty @ I shouldnt say these things.

Good to hear from Bruce again: https://themountainnewswa.net/2023/11/20/coopercon-23-delivers-new-information-and-good-times-to-db-cooper-world/

Money bundles sink. Thus, for a flood to be the culprit for how the bundle arrived at TB, the bundle would have to be pushed there along with debris churned up by flood water. There would be silt on the bills if it came in contact with flood water. That is “dirty water.” If, for example, someone just dunked the money in the Columbia and then threw it in a hole, there would not be any significant amount of silt in that water. That would be “clean water.” As obnoxious as the “someone planted it there” theory is, Kaye’s latest analysis actually tends to support that. Presumably if the bundle was part of dredge spoils it would also have “dirty water”

Speaking of mind set and money. I did go and pay the office a lot of money a month ago. I did do my ground school refresh, and we did start from level 3 which I feel very good about. I did not ride the plane down. I exited. It was awesome. I passed.

It’s my understanding from a hydrologist that objects don’t cross rivers. They’ll stay on the same side.
