Jackpot! They are being judged by the (lack of) content. A thank you post to someone who did something you asked, but nothing for Jack. If we have a problem, who can we go to for help if our elected representatives do not help? Actually, Jim, you had better sit down -- how do you like your crow, by the way? I have not been on dz.com all day (been busy doing real life things) so I haven't gotten back to this thread until now -- but this morning when checking my email, I found a cc of an email that Jan sent to Chris N. asking for help. I quickly replied to them both with my membership status (and Lynn's) and some other particulars. When checking emails during a short break this afternoon, I found an email from Jan stating that Chris assurred us our mags were in the mail. I thanked her privately then, and am thanking her publicly now. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I posted this in reply to your GMM posting in Events, but I'll repeat it here in case you do no revisit that thread: I would, but seeing as USPA has decided to not send the May issue of Parachutist to either myself or my wife, despite phone calls and emails, I don't think they are interested in our proxy. We are USPA...right! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Boy, you're lucky! :) What is it they say about the sport of skydiving? It's the only sport where femur is used as a verb ... as in "I femured." Yep! Never broke a bone in my life ... until mid- life. Then I took up skydiving ... and "double femured" ... When I do things, I try to do them with gusto! :) Blue skies ... --rita Yea, but I got more metal in/on my one femur than you got in both of yours combined The least you could have done was top me, seeing as you werre using my canopy!

She was on there before, but someone copied the wrong list -- Cheech has the last name of Moran again (instead of his real name -- Marin), and PLFexpert got lost again -- she's to be played by Gwyneth Paltrow, BTW.

Well, TLML and I were born in the year of the Rat, she being full on Aries, me being Taurus with Gemini rising. I don't see any cause for conflict there, do you? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

There seems to be some discrepancy in the materials. At one point, someome (Mike, I think), posted that the price included a jump from 15,000; as you pointed out, the web site linked from the WFFC site states "Memphis Only". Who knows for sure? Guess it's up in the air for now. (Sorry for the pun) Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

You're not paying the extra money for "just another 6000 feet". You're paying for the training, rental of the HALO gear (mask/O2 bottle/military gear if desired) and a training jump from 15,00 with the gear. There are also only half as many slots per load, so those have to be covered also. Not trying to change anyone's mind, either it's worth it to you or it isn't. Just keep in mind what you are really paying for when you do your cost/benefit analysis. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Remember Flagler? The old location that Rocky Evans had? That is now "Command Aircraft Recovery". They pick up after plane wrecks, and what used to be our camping/parking/campfire area is now filled with planes in pieces. That is just so sad, on so many levels. BTW, Phil, sorry about your plane, but glad you're with us yet. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I was pretty drunk so i'm not sure who all was there, but Revjim has pics of me doing the trick.

Naaaaah, skreamer and I love each other. That special kind of love only found between a sweet Texan woman and a seth efrikan arsehole. Dangit!

Chris, I chewed you out before about making this old man cry, and now, dangit, you've gone and done it again! From your description of the events, and others, it sounds like there was a fitting tribute for Roger. My best to all of you who knew him. All I know for sure is that there is a space in my life that will never be filled, because I never met him. More's the pity. Once again, Godspeed, Roger.

There is no nudity in that pic, how is a photo of a chick in a bikini NSFW? Where exactly do you work buttmunch? Ooooh! THIS is going to be fun! He called Our Lady of Perpetual Pain "buttmunch"!

I can only suppose that it is quite common. Not having had a cutaway yet, I can't say for sure, but I do know that there is the equivalent of a VHS tape in my head of my bounce. This WFFC will be 5 years, and I can still recall all the sights and sounds from that "wonderful" experience -- the view of the helicopter landing hill from the air, the wind direction, the flag and the windblade, the turn, feeling my leg shatter, my neck sprain, the thoughts that ranthrough my mind, the aftermath. I think it is our minds' way of helping us learn from our stressful situations. I could not help but replay that tape every time I closed my eyes for several months. I had to ask a friend who had had a nasty accident when this would stop and she told me "in a few months, but you'll never really be rid of it". I'm glad you did well and saved your life.
