    Hi Don, Re: Unfortunately in the US people seem to be mostly unable to see the distinction Once they go thru a divorce, they will see the distinction. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Whenever I come across someone who thinks like I do, it makes me scary. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Just another GOP 'Hey, look over here.' You will notice he only is going after the messenger. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Yup. But, do not throw out the baby with the bath water. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, At the beginning of every year, I sit down & write out checks to those organizations that I believe in. Two of them are: NARAL Pro-Choice America 1156 15th St., NW Washington, DC 20005 Pro-Choice Oregon P. O. Box 40472 Portland, OR 97240 I would hope that anyone who disagrees with Alito & his elk, would do the same. Just find out what organization within your state for the local donation. It will not turn back the tide, but it will help. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, While I might not be around, it will be interesting to see what those anti-Roe folks think when their tax dollars go towards supporting those unwanted children. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, As Lyle Cameron once wrote in his SKYDIVER magazine: 'At this point I am simply numb.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, No, I do not. What we really need is some GOP senator's granddaughter to get knocked up by her long-gone boyfriend. Preferably, by a boyfriend of a different race. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: a full throated rebuke That one caught me by surprise. While it is still not a done deal, I did expect some re-interpretation of Roe. Maybe more states should do this: Connecticut looks to expand abortion rights in response to restrictions : NPR And, with modern medicine, there is still the Morning After pill. While it is not much, there is hope on the horizon. Jerry Baumchen PS) This is why I do not vote for anyone associated with the GOP.

    Hi Rob, Re: History books are written by the victors. In the early part of WW II, Hitler's generals told him that he was violating the rules of war. The above is, almost verbatim, his response to them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Would you? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi shadeland, Re: Both the PDR and PD Optimum both have waivers My post, which you quoted above your post, was based upon a discussion held in 2005. I was told in that discussion that the PDR line of canopies had no such waiver. I have nothing factual to present on this matter. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rob, As do I. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi 17, The first person to actually be grabbed like that, an R & D effort by the Army, was J. Scott Hamilton, the former Pres. of USPA. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, From your link: some companies put more effort into the pursuit of federal student-aid money than into teaching or learning IMO this is the crux of the problem. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, It worked in 1945, why not now? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Re: Student Loans & Re-payment Let us not forget that a LOT of these student loans are from, what I call, bogus/sham schools. The ones that seem to advertise a lot on tv; usually ads that seem to be directed at people of low income & who probably would never consider a formal education. I cannot remember when I last saw an ad on tv for Oregon State University and/or the University of Oregon. * Jerry Baumchen * Nor my alma mater, the University of Portland.

    Hi Ken, IMO: 1. The money 2. The fame that would lead to the next 'event.' Jerry Baumchen PS) For Luke to remain on the USPA BOD sullies any reputation USPA has.

    Hi airdvr, Re: As I understand it the student loan delinquency hampers credit which prevents many big ticket purchases. Based upon my discussions, with loan officers, in recent years, student is considered just as any other debt. It is NOT in a class of debt by itself. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rich, It probably depends on whether or not that person is a member of the BOD. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, That old saying: Like minds think alike. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Re: you are asking why grade school math books use cartoons? They've been using them for 50 years to better engage with students. They use them because they work; studies have shown that visual material often keeps kid's attention for longer Reminds me of how they had to present the President's Daily Briefing during the Trump admin.

    Hi John, Biden cares about this country. Trump cares about himself. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Disclaimer: I do not know the FAR's when it comes to airplanes & flying. If you own an airplane & you decide you no longer want it. So you buy a SawzAll & cut it up; is that OK? If so, then if you own an airplane & intentionally crash it out in the desert, where no one is around, why is that not OK? Just a thought for discussion. BTW when the pilot who flew Rod Pack back in 1965 was fined $10,000, the fine was paid by LOOK magazine or LIFE magazine, whichever had the exclusive on the photos. I think his license suspension was for 30 days. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Peter, With more videos to see, it is fairly easy to understand why Andy abandoned his effort. At about 4:50 - 5:20 in your video link, you can see the Infinity logos on the rig. Jerry Baumchen
