“A man came up to me - big man, strong man - with tears in his eyes”…..

No shit, Sherlock. That’s the problem not the potential or viability of renewables. By that logic why fight crime at home when Haiti is so ridden with theft, drugs, and murder?

1) He didn't fart 2) OK he farted but there's this explanation that it's not like regular gross farting 3) Obama did it first.

The story shows how the mere perception of climate change is having a positive effect. While the (slight) overall increase in rain over the last hundred years, combined with recent record rain events may support the idea of climate change, for a sex worker it's just another shitty rainy day working in a rain forest during the rainy season. A couple extra inches here and there isn't going to make much of a difference to their bottom line for the day - it's still going to be a wash either way. The rainy season was always less profitable, but if you attach "climate change" and "Trans" to the problem, you now suddenly get support groups that allow sex workers to realize that they'd much rather just start their own business than eat giant locusts with Joe Weber.

Brent acknowledging reality, not happening

patently false. Solar is still being built at record rates across the country. wind installations are happening in dozens of states.

It was definitely at Skydive Spaceland in League City, TX. Dave Boatman brought the Twin Otters from Metro Airlines to the skydiving center in late 1977 when I first got into the sport.

I know Dan Cooper’s “grudge” - he had $200,000 less than he desired. The whole lay-offs thing, the “grudge” is too deeply read. It was a financially motivated crime. Darren had a lady on his podcast saying that he did it to show it could be done. If so, why not ask for a Mickey Mantle Baseball Card and four parachutes. Or a Monet and four parachutes. Both easier to transport. The guy was a greedy MF who wanted money. I like the whole CIA/Interpen Goon angle. I really do, but it’s what makes a better story and fiction can be more enjoyable than the fact that a lone middle aged man wanted money, got it, and was so unremarkable that he had nobody to tell or wasn’t missed if he slammed into the ground or took a swim.

The first DZ to use a Twin Otter was Pepperell, MA, in April 1972. Mark Schmidt, D-21, was the pilot. It was written up in Parachutist a few months later. If you don't believe this, I'll sic Ted Strong D-16 on you. He was a co-owner of the DZ. HW

What DZ or DZO was the first to bring turbines into the skydiving environment? Also does anyone know the first DZ to use an Otter? A Caravan? King Air? I imagine that was a huge risk on the first DZO's parts.. a lot of cost compaired to the older planes like Beechs and DC3's. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com
