  1. Never say "hey, watch this!" Even to yourself.
  2. ... and pay the higher federal income taxes that two-earner marrieds pay vs. being single.
  3. It's up to 29.5%. Maybe they meant that they take it seriously as a warning not to vote for Maes... This reader comment has it about right: "When I started, I wondered if I was reading the Onion."
  4. George HW Bush made his appearance at the national Jamboree in his second term? Oops, meant to say last term.
  5. Any of the 7 dropzones within the distance you are contemplating are fine. Really. Some will take you higher, some will use smaller aircraft, some have better views, some will charge less, some may/may not have a more relaxed atmosphere, some may need an appointment, some will have cleaner restrooms. All will be okay.
  6. Where are you located? Those two dropzones are 170 miles apart. Either of those would be okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way. There are five others in the same general area, which will also be okay.

  8. The previous three Presidents (Bush, Clinton, Bush) made their only appearances in their second terms -- maybe Obama is just following their lead.
  9. I thought it was soap, to wash away their sins.
  10. I put mine in before boarding, and remove them after landing, in an attempt to minimize hearing loss.
  11. Does Princess Cruises have a whaling permit? They've bagged 3. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38482222/ns/us_news-environment/
  12. I've seen it done from a Cessna 180 quite a few times.
  13. Full face helmets keep your face from getting so cold in the winter, and decrease chapped lips. They are generally less noisy that frap hats.
  14. If I understand correctly, you live in Reno. So, you are passing by 5 other drop zones on the way to Monterey. I would suggest taking lessons at a DZ where you might continue jumping, if you plan to continue. Monterey (Marina) would be at the bottom of my list of those six DZ's for an experienced jumper.
  15. You think I'm wooly now, you should have seen me in the 70's.
  16. Harry is on his death bed, and he says to his wife, "Can you give me one last wish?" She says, "Anything you want." He says, "After I die, will you marry Charlie?" She says, "But I thought you hated Charlie." With his last breath, he says, "I do."
  17. Hmmm... along that line: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/24311535/detail.html
  18. Next ad in the series -- donkey base jumping.
  19. No, they probably will not remember to vote anyway. Either that, or they will try to vote every 10 minutes, without knowing that they already did.
