Yeah, I'm with the Rev. That was the LAST thing I wanted to read first thing in the morning. I'm actually not going to ask any pressing questions so that I don't have to gag twice this morning.

Picture, if you will, a jackass. No, not the long ears, four legs, tail and braying cry, but close. And not the people who get paid good money to act like moronic troglodytes, no matter how much I wish that were me. No, I'm referring to someone who wakes up Sunday morning to find that his wallet occupies none of the regular, not-so-regular or even downright ludicrous places it would normally be resting in. Add to that the fact it contained over $700 cash for a d/p on a used rig, and you begin to feel your own blood pressure rise. In the midst of extended happy hour at the DZ, I took my shorts off to change into pants. I took my wallet out of my shorts and put it on top of our vehicle, apparently neglecting to remove it for proper storage in my pants or INSIDE the vehicle. When I arrived at the DZ in the noon-ish hour the next day, I began what I perceived would be a "walk of shame", believing that my wallet adorned some voodoo priestess' altar, and that my unmatched luck and undaunted spirit would soon see rapid decline. John, our DZO, kindly assisted me for a large portion of the walk, but seeing that this was a truffle hunt, left me to my woeful ponderings as I put one foot in front of the other. Head down, and NOT airborne, calculating how long I would have to go into cryogenic sleep with what little money I still have in a high-risk investment to earn back what I lost, I trudged along the main thoroughfare about a mile away from the DZ. I knew my skydiving days were numbered in the single-digits...primarily "1". Just as I was about to begin inhaling deeply with my mouth planted firmly over a red ant anthill, I saw the familiar black rectangle of my wallet settled firmly into the grass with a few of the contents scattered a few feet away. I calmly picked up said contents and ratty wallet, and turned calmly to return to the DZ, pausing only long enough to choke back impending bile and breakfast that was surging fast in relief. Luck, it seems, finds me one sexy bastard. So, what have YOU done & regretted/said/not done/neglected or flat out effed up while partying at a DZ? Edit: for spelling.

It's not slavic. Maybe Icelandic? Dunno. Has a sort of Norse feel to it. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Wow! My hat's off to you, friend. I would have...well, I don't know WHAT I would have done, but it would have been less diplomatic, that's for certain.

Not to sound insensitive, but I LOVE that place. It was where I had originally planned to do my graduate work in marine biology. That was back when I had a plan.

Do you really want to work that hard to prove you can put up with the worst society has to offer? Might as well work at a help desk.

Formerly married to a person who brought out the worst in me, and vice versa. You know in your heart what the answer is. The problem is knowing what to do about it. It took me six years to figure it out, and we kept getting better and better at hurting each other. Those were, by FAR, not the proudest years of my life. Edited for grammar.

Holy crap! I was just reading about D.B. Cooper earlier today...there doesn't happen to be a team of guys in black pajamas surrounding the plane, hmmm?

Oh my...well, you and Amy stay safe and know that an entire online community is keeping you in their thoughts. I remember when fires would sweep down Box Springs National Park, right behind our house in Riverside, and the nightmares it would bring. Please stay safe.

How about the Scripps Institute? Was that in the path? I sure hope everyone is okay down there...and not just family and friends.

My grandparents live in Riverside, and they have heard that some of the fires were set off accidentally by military exercises. Any truth to that rumor?

If the fridge here at work had beer, I'd indulge. If for no other reason than to be able to tolerate our customers a little more...or have an excuse to be obnoxious.

Yeah, my dad wouldn't even glance askance at it when it was $200,000, but maybe now that the opening bid is $50,000...
