Figured it wouldn't be too hard -- I just want to know if she really looked that competent and sure on her first jump; I think she must have, because it was in a link on Skydive Sebastian's Memories page to a slideshow labelled "Sebastian Memories Volume 1". There is a second slideshow labelled "Sebastian Memories Volume 2" that contains a great deal of pix from the Bytch Boogie, including Skyone leaving his mark on the deck at the Zoo bar. Memories indeed! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Was noodling about a certain DZ's website this morning (nice job on the rework, btw) and came across this shot. Seems to me to be one of our own's first skydive? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Can't believe I somehow failed to read this before now. It may be a little late, but welcome home, Scott. Thank you.

Sebastian is a fantastic place to do a tendem; the view is fantastic. FF Adventures is the training school operating out of Skydive Sebastian. Call Sebastian to schedule your tandem. Your weight should not be that much of a problem if you are in shape as you sound like you are; give 'em a call -- you may be good to go as is.

NO! What part of "innocent until proven guilty" does not appeal to you. I have had to undergo "random" drug testing while a member of the armed forces. The Unifor Code of Military Justice takes away some of the freedoms we signed up to defend, but I could understand some of it and went along grudgingly. As far as the private sector goes, I feel it is of nosone's business unless I am displaying behavior that suggests I am using and endangering someone else or in some way degrading the quality of my work. I have refused to take a pre-employment drug screen and told the prospective employer why. I also told them that I would agree to any drug test if they showed me probable cause and would also have my own done at my cost at the same time; if both test were negative or in dispute, I fully expected them to reimburse me if I passed. I got the job. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I have to chime in here with a number of others; I don't see how this can add anything to the convention. I have watched the landing discipline deteriorate at WFFC since '98 (not that it was ever fabulous) and can only see this as adding to the problems rather than solving anything. It's true that there are plenty of areas to land at Rantoul and plenty of room to be safe, but adding in more jumpers who will want to open above 3500 and lack the discipline that comes with experience is nothing but a big step backwards in my eyes. WFFC is having problems, nothing unsolvable, that have me worried about its survival; I've spoken enough with staffers to know that they are working hard to address these problems, but this step ... my mind boggles.

As you can see by this article, a lot of people are affected by lives lost in combat. This article really hit home with me today because when we were visiting our oldest son Chris last week he told me that he had had to perform this duty the week before. He told me, "Dad, I'd rather go back to Afghanistan or Iraq again twice, than have to deal with this again." Just another thing to consider today when you ponder those who gave so much for their country. And to those other parents of our military men and women, be assured that Lynn and I are thankful for your children as we are for ours. We pray that you don't have to be on the receiving end of one of these visits.

Damned if I know! I'm sure it wasn't when we first met in second grade or any of the times we played sports together in the neighborhood (she was always the first one chosen, no matter the sport, and I was the last); had to have been sometime shortly after we had our first date, Homecoming '65. Though I had wanted to date Lynn for quite a while, so maybe I "knew" the summer of our sophomore year ... your guess is as good as mine.

Probably my bounce at Quincy -- on the first impact I knew my femur was broken and didn't even know if my leg was still attached to the rest of me. On the second (or was it the third?) impact I felt my neck sprain and felt a snapping, popping sensation, so wasn't sure that if I survived that I would be able to move anything. Once I stopped hitting the ground and realized I was still in this plane, I reopened my eyes then started taking inventory. The relief I felt once I was able to see that my leg was indeed still attached was great. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

To show that this is neither new nor only having to do with high-tech stuff, I offer the following true story: It's 1972, TLML and I are married and have both sons and I'm working as an assistant manager at a mid-western dime sotre chain. My 1968(?) Pontiac station wagon will not come out of first gear, so off the the local dealership I go, leave the car and walk the block and a half to the store. Get a call later that day saying that the auto transmisson had to be rebuilt and I can pick it up around 1500 that afternoon. Get to the dealership and they are just brininging the car back from its road test. The service writer, the leac mechanica and a couple others are swarming around the car like ants. Seems like the rebuilt tranny still will not leave forst gear! Much prodding, cursing, consulting entrails of chickens, etc. is going on but nothing seems to work. From over in the corner an old phart mechanic spits tobacco juice into his cup, walks over, listens the the description of the problem, then says "You DID check the kickdown switch, right?" There are chagrined faces all around then one of them checks the swith -- sure enough, it's broken in the closed position. The tranny won't shift because the car is telling it not to! Bottom line? One old coot laughing his head off at the smartass "kids" and me with a newly rebuilt transmission and a new kickdown switch. Guess which part I paid for.

Not to be a smart arse, but I think you didn't search very well. I simply input "why Sony" into the search for this forum only, and this is what I got.

Which shows beyond a doubt that really is Jack's grandson. The funniest thing about that is we once had pix of my grandfather, my Dad, me, Chris, and CJ all at age 2 or 3 -- if it weren't for the differences in clothes/backgrounds it was damned near impossible to tell who was who. Even worse -- we all have the same sense of humor (read -- smartass). Best example I can give is from CJ: Chris had returned to Ft. Belvoir after getting his MFF JM rating and while unpacking he took out a weird object. CJ (8 y/o at the time) asked him what it was and was told it was a piece of petrified wood his dad had landed on. CJ's comment? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.
