    Hi Westerly, I agree with you. However, every journey begins with the first step. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Some years ago, I posted some info & photos of a bobbin winder that I had made for myself. A good friend bought one of these a while back: Amazon.com: Automatic Bobbin Winder for Sewing Machine Electric Bobbin Winding with Spool Thread Stand for Brother, Babylock, Singer, Janome, Automatic Thread Sewing Machine Accessory He says: 'I like it. It does what it's supposed to do well.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, This should get interesting: 'President Donald Trump has encouraged his hardcore supporters — who have framed Jan. 6 as a battle akin to the American Revolution and encouraged each other to bring firearms — to march in the “wild” protests in hopes of pressuring Congress to keep him in power.' Threats of violence and the virus grip Capitol Hill - POLITICO Looks like I'll have to 'stay tuned' earlier than normal on Wed. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, Re: 'doesn't rule out Trump' One can only hope. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: 'I think the chances of Trump facing actual consequences for this are very real.' While I would love to see this; I doubt that it will actually happen. IMO it will just fade away with time. Re: 'At least I certainly hope so.' As do I. My one hope regarding Trump is that he goes to prison. Re: ' Nixon got pardoned, Reagan (Iran-Contra) got ignored. This is the logical outcome of the idea that the President is above the law. I'd like to see that thinking end.' As would I. And, I believe that should this ever get to the SCOTUS, they would decide in favor of the American people and throw it out. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, That's the story of my skydiving career.* Welcome to the club. Jerry Baumchen * But, I knew I was right.

    Hi Wendy, Re: 'Welcome to how the entire rest of the US lives.' And, it is a tough pill for them to swallow. But, they can do it if they want to. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, I seem to remember is was something about 'if it looks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, . . . ' Jerry Baumchen PS) And, why do you have the avatar that you have?

    Hi Wendy, Re: 'It's called intellectual honest vs. magical thinking.' My granddaughter will be 7 in about 3 weeks. She still believes in Santa Claus ( I ask her dad recently ). I think only because of the remote learning ( no in-school in this area ). I am very sure that if she were actually in school, the older kids would change her thinking. C'est la vie, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, What legacy? Oops, excuse me; The Worst POTUS In Our History. Hey, somebody has to have that title. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Tri, 'Do these so-called "patriots" have absolutely no grasp on history at all?' 'just how far past the limit of what any thinking person would believe' There-in lies the problem. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Re: 'It's hard to imagine how they are going to fill up their page if he really goes away.' Far too many 'newspapers' now generate that which is not IMO news but simply filler. I think it is their hope to get responses and keep the BS filling the void(s). Some of the UK tabloids are perfect examples of this. You can thank Mr. Murdoch for this. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO Trump is a one & done POTUS. Give it about a year and we can discuss this again. PPS) During the last days of Clinton's presidency, Jay Leno on his TONIGHT SHOW monologue said, 'I'm going to miss that guy.' Guess why.

    Hi folks, Looks like it is time to fight back: 'A top employee of Dominion Voting Systems . . . is suing the Trump campaign' Dominion Voting Systems Employee Sues Trump Campaign And Allies, Alleging Defamation : NPR One can only hope that he cleans their clocks in court. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Re: 'My experience has been different than yours . . .' Just curious; have you ever been in a situation where your gun was actually needed to keep you safe? Jerry Baumchen
  17. JerryBaumchen
    Hi Sky, I have travelled in Europe, Asia, South America , Australia & a lot of North America. Not once have I been concerned that I should have a gun for protection. IMO it is just a scare tactic to sell more guns to the misinformed. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Alborne, I have a good friend, 7000 jumps, 45 yrs in the sport, jumped a lot of different canopies. He is currently jumping a Aerodyne Pilot 7, low volume fabric, hybrid. He says it is the best canopy he has ever jumped. Try a demo model and see what you think. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: 'And I doubt he's alone in his thinking.' And, that is the scary part. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, What I fail to understand is why they even let him into the debates in the first place.? I mean, he tried to run for POTUS as a D once before. They should have 'flushed' him then. They damn sure would have some credibility with me if they had. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, Re: 'Where does the GOP find such clowns???' Well, they found Trump. End of discussion. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, Re: 'Had he simply done those things, he would have been re-elected easily.' I have some doubt about that; but, you may be right. I have said for some time now, that this past election would be a referendum on Trump. I still stand by that. Re: 'I think that debate has come to a screeching halt and Trump now becomes Numero Uno on that list.' On this, we are in complete agreement. His ignorance and lack of intelligence is beyond the pale. Jerry Baumchen
