  1. Hi Bill, Re: Trump supporters are refusing the "Fauci vaccine" to show their support for Trump Another thing that I find very strange. Both Trump & Pence were vax'd while still in office. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Jim, So far: Nothing => no new wife. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi folks, An interesting take on one US military base's position on the vax: Because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use, and have not been fully approved, the military cannot legally mandate that all service members get the vaccine. And: Troops at an Alabama military base have been ordered to show proof that they've been vaccinated to be able to go without face masks on the premise.

  4. Hi Barney, On the other end of that; when I got divorced, the wife & my then 401A left. I bought another one last year. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi Robert, It just keeps getting better & better. The laughs just keep coming. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Engenerd, Definitely Ray Lowe on the left in your photo. I'm known him since the mid-60's. In fact, I'm the one who wrote to him & told about the 7th Army Team looking for jumpers. He contacted them & the rest is history. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Kleggo, Skydive Oregon IMO more fun would be at: PNW Skydiving Center | Skydiving Portland, Oregon But, my friends who fun jump there say it is a little difficult to get onto fun loads due to the tandems filling the slots. Contact both & see what they tell you. Both have good, turbine aircraft. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi John, C'est la vie. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi folks, As hard as he tries to stay relevant, he is still slowly, but surely, becoming The Forgotten Person. Re: And I made it possible for them to do this. Somebody needs to measure his nose. Trump takes credit for billionaires' race to space (msn.com) Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi folks, A college student won the $1 million Covid lottery here in Oregon: $1 million winner of Oregon’s COVID-19 vaccination lottery is a college student - oregonlive.com IMO could not happen to a more deserving person. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi Ken, I carry a copy of my vax record in my wallet. Just make people show it. I've been in a fair number of foreign countries in my life; I've never had a problem carrying or showing my passport. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi folks, Re: His current lawyers are probably those that could not get a job at the local Public Defender's office. And: One Trump backer also joked that "We've gone through all the lawyers and are now down to law students." 'How come I always get the worst lawyers?': Trump seethed that he had the 'stupidest' attorneys in his second impeachment trial, book says (msn.com) Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Bill, Re: We I simply do not think that what you, my neighbor, and I, can do can be enough. As I mentioned earlier, it has to come from Congress. With binding legislation, with penalties, etc. Back in the 70's, Congress lowered the speed limits to 55 MPH max. Eventually, all 50 states complied; some only at the very last minute, but they complied. Jerry Baumchen PS) I do separate my garbage, recyclables, etc.
  14. Hi Ken, So, will you guys pay for a wall? Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi falls, If this type of stuff interests you, then I suggest that you read: The Life and Death of Planet Earth: How the New Science of Astrobiology Charts the Ultimate Fate of Our World: Ward, Peter: 9780805075120: Amazon.com: Books Before I read it, I thought it would be about as dry as yesterday's newspaper. But, once I started reading, I kept at it. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Robert, As I read about this stuff; it takes me back to the 50's: This is funnier than any I Love Lucy show. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Phil, Re: So he sued Google, Facebook and Twitter together with their CEOs. As I was reading about that today, I got to thinking about all of the law firms that Trump has stiffed over the years. From what I have read, most law firms in NYC will not even talk to him. His current lawyers are probably those that could not get a job at the local Public Defender's office. As I posted: The Forgotten Person Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Wendy, Re: he ended up teaching business J. Scott Hamilton, for Pres of USPA, had a doctorate in law; he ended his career teaching business at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Arizona campus. It's a long and winding road. The Beatles - Long and Winding Road (Plus Lyrics) (1970) [HIGH QUALITY COVER VERSION] - YouTube Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi folks, Well, he did dare them: Man’s racist rant dared neighbor to ‘come see me.’ Dozens of protesters showed up at his N.J. home - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi folks, IMO the problem begins with the parents: A flight to the Bahamas was canceled, leaving dozens of travelers stranded. Why? A group of high schoolers refused to wear masks - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Wendy, Re: We can't kick the problems down the road Yet, this is the very thing that our Congress does. Why you ask; because of the costs ( i.e., taxes ) are more than our Congress Critters are willing to be honest with us about. IMO the solution will mean substantial changes in the lifestyle of almost every person living in an advanced country. Substantial changes => costs, for one; supply, for another. Congress Critters IMO want to just give you a sound bite about how much they are doing for you. IMO they know what should be done; but, this is bad news & they want no part of it. End of rant, Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Ron, Re: we are not real sure whether voting is still a viable option. You did not say this four years ago when your guy won. It all comes back to who's ox is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi winsor, Re: If they want to go back to the Dark Ages, why is it out concern? Some of them do not have a choice. IMO this is the problem. They are not an open & free society. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi folks, Some people just have to have their guns: Tillamook man pleads guilty to stealing 15 guns from sporting goods store - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
