    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 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 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

    Hi Bill, Being curious is a very good thing. We have survived for centuries by asking. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Jakee, Re: Kids ask things, right? When my son was about 5-10 days old, the wife was bathing him. My 6-yr old daughter was watching. When she asked, 'What is that?' my wife calmly explained it to her. Some how, I doubt that this traumatized my daughter for the rest of her life. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Peter, Re: Did you miss the video? I have watched a few of them. My question was more to the individuals involved rather than the spectating public. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Re: Russia and the Russian people adore and respect strongmen. For over a 100 yrs now, they really have not had a choice. There were a few short-lived exceptions, but, for the most part, that has been the history of the USSR and now, the Russian Federation. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi jakee, And, that is why Uncle Joe would not have any 'neutral' countries. He knew exactly what he was doing. The west was lucky to get what they could in their meetings with him. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Re: I think the error was . . . Not long after Rod Pack made the first chuteless jump, 1 Jan 65, the pilot was fined $10,000. A LOT of money in those days. The article in SKYDIVER magazine that had the photos of the jump & the info on the pilot's fine, also said that they should have merely done it south of the border. No fines & no problems. As mentioned earlier in this thread, that would have IMO been the smart thing to do once the FAA gave them the thumbs down. But, that is all Monday Morning Quarterbacking; and we are all good at that. It will be interesting to see why one of them did not make any attempt to get near the aircraft that eventually crashed.

    Hi 615, The 1-second video I saw was taken from inside the aircraft as he came aboard. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, My local News at 4, just had a teaser [ that old 'more at 5 PM' thingy ] that showed one person getting into an airplane. About one second of video of catching & getting into the plane. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Re: entitled I do not consider Nancy Pelosi entitled. She has worked very hard to be elected Speaker twice. IMO she has earned the votes of her colleagues. Hope that this does not go to SC. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Girl, Proof positive that Jones belongs in a looney bin, not a prison. Just put a strait-jacket on him & warehouse him for the next 30-40 yrs. End of problem. Jerry Baumchen
