    Why make a big deal of it? Even if it were a press op (I doubt it) -- more likely he wanted to make a contact with his dad. I was in SF and so is my son, I'd love to make a run (better keep it at 2 miles or less) with him! Better yet if MY dad (passed away 04/15/85) could be there too!

    a week or so during Special Forces training. I had visions of pizza! On a planned fast ... 4 days.

    Yeah, that is what I was thinking since my main ride is a '92 HD Dyna. Plus then you'll get all that nasty biker road rash goo stuck between your treads.

    For $15K? No way! For $15 or $150, yeah, probably would. I had a great mellow black chow (now that's rare, the "mellow" part, not the "black") A guy came by and was opening garage doors with his automatic closer and stealing things. He was making a second pass at my house after stealing some tools. It had been raining and Yang Su was in the garage. When the garage door came up, he came out -- scared the robber away, but he got hit on a busy road., He was 10 years old. Loved that crazy dog!

    [Alamo was not particularly strategic to the defense of Texas, and the only thing accomplished by attempting to defend it was the motivating factor "remembering the alamo" had on the rest of the Texicans. Not necessarily true. It also bought Sam Houston 13 more days to develop his volunteer army. Sorry, don't want to be a smart a$$, but my 7th grade Texas history had to be worth something!

    I had someone email me that website and say, "Can you believe these guys?" I looked at it for 2 seconds and said, "Pretty funny". But of course I like satire, and the marketing of Jesus and Christianity is well worthy of satire, even if only the "pagans" get it!

    Slappie: I was going to comment until I read all the threads -- your apology & correction should suffice, but I still wonder why you needed to inflate your #s to "fit in" Do you not accept low # jumpers or just hang around the crowd that doesn't? If the former, shame on you, if the latter -- move on, life is too short! Be yourself!

    Why did I waste my money on AFF, when I could have watched DROPZONE with Wesley Snipes as my instructor?

    Take a clue from HARLEY shirts that sell for about $20 - 40 everywhere. I like a simple (other prefer more elaborate) logo on the front, but full color graphics that depict the local DZ -- go to http://www.harleyshirts.com to see what I mean if you are clueless.

    packing my own not only saves me money, but gives me the opportunity to inspect my rig and canopy a lot closer than I ordinarily would if I didn't pack.

    I look forward to throwing one back (each's beverage of choice) with you!

    Salt was vital to those who lived in that time. It was part of the Roman soldier's salary (it was called a salarium) Salt does many things, flavors, pererves, cleanses, but even Christ knew that salt can be corrupted or misused. Then it is good only for "road repair" Mat 5:18 edited because I can't type!

    reminds me of an old movie with George Burns, Art Carny and Leigh Strausberg. "The Sunshine Boys"?? A bunch of retired guys decide to rob banks. Even if they get caught they figured they'd have 3 squares a day. Pretty funny movie.

    Generally when someone discovers that I'm not only a Christian, but a pastor, they are surprised. Not because I cuss like a sailor or get drunk with them, but because I don't preach at them. Hey, I'll even toss back a coke while you drink the beer in celebration of the sunset. However, I've had many of the skydivers attend the church I pastor on their own initiation. I realize to many of my colleagues I'm not a good christian because I don't even invite them to my church. They have to ask me about how to get there first. This is the way I see it. Jesus said we (Christians) are the SALT of the earth. Salt gives flavor in moderation, but few people want their food drowned in salt. Same thing with Christ as the "living water" You can give a "drink" to thirsty people or you can drown them.

    Then all people of "typical Spanish/Indian" heritage must look hot! LOL!

    From what everyone is saying (besides the thread hijackers ) you have more in common than great looks.

    I lost most of my sight in my left eye this summer (retinal vein blockage) While it has improved from very bad to bad after steroid injections (yes, into the eye itself) I know I still have less depth perception than before. I continue to skydive every weekend and earned my D and coach's rating AFTER the loss of vision. My downsizing days are over though. At 225 lbs w/o gear I'm staying with my Sabre 190! I say "Go for it!" just be careful when landing on no wind days or night jumps.

    Kennedy - 8th grade -- they came over the load speaker and the President had been shot -- the teachers all started crying and they dismissed school -- I remember EVERYONE being really somber for days! Challenger explosion -- weirdest of them all -- I was in AK working and we heard the liftoff over the radio -- then it cut to commercial. During that commercial I turned to my friend and said, "Wouldn't it be something if that thing exploded with everyone looking (on TV)". The radio station came back from commercial and stated the Challenger exploded. My friend just stared at me for the longest. Talk about weird! Reagan shot -Sitting at home watching TV (working a night shift) They broke in the regular programming with the news. 9/11 - The second day of a Master's Module at SNU -- talk about a wasted week. No professor or student wanted to do anything (I was there (SNU) again when Iraq2 broke out -- I was working out at a health club when Irag1 (Desert Storm) began.
