    Naturally, Al Gore's decision not to run for president in 2004 was a strategic decision based on the well-known principle that people typically get elected to offices for which they do not run. This reminds me of my elementary psychology lecture when we learned about projection. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I hear that. Any time I've ever called I've either gotten, "We promise you that if you don't come out, you won't make a skydive today" or "Hmmm... let me look into my crystal ball to see whether any more loads will go up." A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    High: Four fantastic jumps on my new-to-me rig!! Low: Unable to make an A-license check dive. Next time, though! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    My favorite mixed drink is Maker's Mark Manhattan. My favorite alcoholic drink is whatever beer I've recently brewed. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Bullshit! Both of you, Muenkel and jessd, better have your A licenses by the time I move to Boston so I'll have some dz.comites to jump with!!! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Well, Good Stuff would be skydiving porn without the typo... Bad acting...no plot...lots of gratuitous skydiving sequences. That would be hardcore XXX skydiving porn, whereas your Cutaways would be softcore, Skynimax productions. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I downloaded the packing manual from Aerodyne yesterday, as everyone's advice here is "follow the manufacturer's recommendations." However, the packing manual which, on the cover, is appropriate to the Triathlon only gives instructions for packing a nine cell canopy. Is there much of a difference between packing a nine cell and a seven cell other than counting fewer cells at the beginning and flaking only three cells on the side rather than four?

    So in about three weeks I will be moving to Boston, and will be a freshly-licensed jumper. I've figured that my new home dz will either be Pepperell or Jumptown. So, which will it be? Better still, who will be there to show me around these dropzones and introduce me to the other divers? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I notice that our billvon wrote the faq for that! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I understand that there would be a different charge for the canopies, but that's not what's happening here. You buy the Javelin for 1475, then you add the canopy at its retail price (~1500) and then the reserve at its retail price etc. So for 1475, you do not get anything but the container. That's not exactly a complete gear package. Anyway, I already found gear ... and I'm hoping to jump it for the presecond time tonight! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    OK, I finished it last night. These books get darker and darker. One thing I couldn't help but notice was the theme of totalitarian control over Hogwarts and The Daily Prophet by the Ministry of Magic. The censorship and lack of accountability of the leadership certainly resonated with me given the current American political climate. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Many Hindus believe that it is morally wrong to kill an animal - any animal; not just a cow - even to eat it, and therefore espouse vegetarianism as a moral imperative. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Hey Muenkel, do you remember those nice things I said about you? Do you? Eh? Eh? By the way, what was your credit card number/expiration date again? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Nope. That would be skydiving. Sex is a close second, though. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Yes, I've found this to be the case with Muenkel and sinker as well ... and it's genuinely refreshing. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Here's something funny. I surfed around their site for a bit, and found that they sell complete gear packages. An example: A Javelin complete gear package starts at $1475 and goes up from there depending on what options you want. However, they consider both canopies as well as everything else: altimeters, goggles, etc. to be "options." Hmmm... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
