Hi John, From your link ( this says it all ): “tellingly out of touch and the polar opposite of reality.” Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jim, A few issues back, the ParaGear catalog had a very nice photo, taken from underneath the jumper. IMO it was very definitive. The jumper in the photo had chest & hip rings. It was very easy to see that a portion of the MLW, from the chest ring(s) to the hip ring(s), was back under his armpits. And, that was where his reserve ripcord was also. I seriously doubt that the jumper in the photo could actually see his reserve ripcord or his cutaway handle. Think about it; at the hip ring the MLW can easily move/rotate, but just above it, the chest strap keeps that portion of the MLW much closer together than a rig without chest rings. Then at the hip ring, once again the MLW easily moves/rotates. This results in a MLW that looks like a Z rather than a straight line. For all of you novice harness designers, let's hear your thoughts. As to why, UPT does not; ask Bill Booth. Jerry Baumchen PS) I also would never put hip rings on a PEP rig.

Hi Joe, Donated twice to Biden/Harris and once to Amy McGrath in Kentucky. Jerry Baumchen PS) I consider this the most important election in my lifetime. PPS) Billvon - My mayor, who I endorse for re-election, via yard signs, has virtually no impact on my life.

Hi John, I watched it Sat nite on NetFlix. Agree, highly recommended. And Mark Rylance, another Brit, played Bill Kunstler. Why? IMO because the best actors these days are the Brits. Jerry Baumchen PS) I had no idea that Judge Julius Hoffman was such a nut. He would fit right in with the Trump administration; maybe even a choice by Trump for SCOTUS.

Hi Joe, I know. Now, for the serious side. I think that both Russia & Saudi Arabia would take him in. Saudi Arabia took in Idi Amin for the balance of his life. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, An interesting article on our Vote by Mail here in Oregon: 'Taking a look at Oregon's election records over the past 30 years could get rid of other state's vote by mail fears.' https://www.opb.org/news/article/history-vote-by-mail-oregon-elections/ Jerry Baumchen

Ho Joe, Well, that hippie is really more honest. And, most probably, a better person. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, While I would love to see it; the biggest defeat ever was in '72 when McGovern only carried Massachusetts. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Will, And, at this point in time ( I sent my ballot in yesterday ), I doubt that it will make much more difference than that 'one undecided.' IMO, this is Game Over. Trump is in full panic mode; whatever he comes up with next will just be crazier that the last thing he tried, all to no avail. He can share a flat with Snowden in Moscow. Jerry Baumchen

Hi jakee, He is probably considering northern Idaho: 'Are Paramilitary Extremists Being Normalized?' 'the patient told her that after the election, all of this — the worldwide pandemic — is just going to go away.' https://www.npr.org/2020/10/17/924461164/are-paramilitary-extremists-being-normalized-look-to-idaho-for-answers It just gets crazier & crazier; where is the limit?

Hi Phil, When I read about that earlier today, I thought that he would want to go to somewhere they cannot extradite him. Jerry Baumchen

Hi airdvr, She is wielding her power. You seem to be OK with that when Trump does it. It is called politics. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Re: 'it reflects poorly on Giuliani and Trump.' Poor old Trump, he just cannot get any traction on anything he tries. Geez, and I thought he was the bestest at everything. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Therein lies the quandry. Jerry Baumchen PS) Ike always said that his biggest mistake as POTUS was putting Earl Warren in as Chief Justice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Warren
