  1. DC is being very secretive about the numbers. In reality they probably don't know what the true numbers are but saying anything at this point makes them look even more incompetent. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  2. Ummm - interesting correlation YOU noticed there, since I just suggested you draw your own conclusion. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't live in a vacuum John. Perhaps if I had never read one of your postings like this before I might reach a different conclusion. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. And where exactly in his two post does he even remotely blame anyone? New here? He's been thumping on about life expectancy for a few years. He's just culled the herd with this group. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  4. You make it sound as if there's some vast right-wing conspiracy. It's as if people choices and behavior had nothing to do with it. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  5. So you think it's beyond the realm of possible? Silly boy. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. Just yesterday an old friend from FL put up some pictures from the DZ (Parkman) from the mid 80's. Put a big smile on my face. I would have missed that without FB. My friends have scattered to the 4 corners of the US. Great way to stay in touch. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. Pretty big assumption that the folks who didn't have insurance will step up and buy this. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  11. Huh? What are you supposed to say when someone sneezes? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  12. Why?...first off how about you stepping up and quit wasting fossil fuels jumping from airplanes. Or driving your car. And even if we did everything we possibly could to reduce emissions, China and India need to come along for the ride or it won't amount to a popcorn fart in a windstorm. And we'll be looking up at them from the bottom of a deep economic well. I want to know what will power all of those semi trucks that bring you the things you want on a daily basis. It's a nice thought and all but maybe you guys should stick to solving world hunger or something you have a better chance of accomplishing. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  15. IIRC, the AADs went back to the families, who declined to provide them to Airtec for examination. Mark Wow...really? Something I never thought about, but may be a good idea to let my loved ones know it's my wish to allow for any & all investigation be made, in the hope of furthering the safety of the sport..."if' something ever happens that is. Yeah I may need to advise my family not to be selfish idiots. It might considered be too harsh to deem people who would do that as such, but I'm standing by it because they're actively impeding efforts to prevent other people from suffering the fate of their loved ones. And I assume skydivers have informed the families how important the data in these AADs are, and they still don't want to send them in. If this would have happened in 'normal life', let's say a car crash with a videocamera in the car the families don't have the option to keep the camera, do they? I see another paragraph on the waiver coming. Although tragic I think it might have done the community a good turn by getting us talking about AADs and reserves and containers and all that can go right and still go wrong.

  16. I believe women will evolve to be asexual and kill us guys. Problem solved. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  17. I was just thinking that as I scrolled into your post. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  20. First is not a world fix but would go a long way towards improving the quality of life for all countries; stop making people pay huge $ for a college education. There should be universities in the US that are paid for by the government if you qualify academically. We're willing to give millions to uneducated idiots who can't support themselves. The ROI on those dollars are $0.00. Of course you should still be able to get the best education money can buy so Harvard and Stanford can still charge megabucks. Use technology advances to make nuclear war obsolete. Once obsolete there would be no reason to keep the warheads. Yea, I know. Lots of bad guys would love to get their hands on a nuke, but that problem exists now and it seems we've done a pretty good job of keeping them out of the terrorists hands.

  21. The Graveyard of Empires. Nobody gives a shit about it anymore. We need to find a new enemy or the military/industrial complex will be hurt. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  23. We were brilliant back in the 80's at Parkman. Decided we would do the last dive of '85 and the first dive of '86. NYE jumps were hop-n-pops b4 the festivities. New Year's Day 1986. I don't think there were very many sober people in the Beech that morning. We had taken precautions. Ski masks, gloves, vaseline on any exposed skin etc... John Molleck's Beech 18 had a 4x8 piece of plywood that covered the cargo door. We jammed it up with a 2x4 but that still left a space of about 8" at the very top that was open. Long story short....-11 inside the plane at 12,500. Never did figure what wind chill was on the way down. Later in my career people would give me a raft of shit about saying it was too cold to jump. They didn't really know cold. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  24. Trying to compare temperatures and patterns in 2012 vs. 2013 in my area. I was able to find this page http://weathersource.com/account/official-weather?location=44319&start-date=03%2F01%2F2012&end-date=03%2F08%2F2012&subscription-demo=1&sid=ut4hakeug2k8kqhfj389s1hgr4&search=1&station-id=40031&latitude=40.9872&longitude=-81.531 bit it limits me to a 7 day window unless I'm willing to pay. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get this information? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Indeed. As contentious as this board can get I'd still like to sit and blow the froth off a few with you all. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
