Afternoon, Jerry Not totally incorrect - but not totally accurate either. Keith

Another. " . . . what some call the Camden Miracle, and it’s responsible for Camden suddenly being seen as a model for “defunding the police.” But what happened in Camden was not a defunding at all; instead, it was a transfer of authority to what residents call the Metro—and, though Camden saw a drop in crime rates, so did other major urban communities in the state." If there's a successful model out there; use it.

Amen.

Tim, you have really got to go back and read the proposed plan.

Three rings of law enforcement: 1st Ring - Community Service Officers embedded in the community. Uniforms and radio only (listening posts for LE and the community) 2nd Ring - Qualified to handle hand-to-hand (no gun, but batons and hand-to-hand training). 3rd Ring - LE with weapons - CSO's can decide which of the next rings needs to respond. But, in order to do this - The number of weapons on the street needs to be reduced and the attitude of the 2nd amendment as an entitled right shifted to one of respect for the right. Shit, do I gotta do everything around here.

Morning Jerry, Both sides of the spectrum are responsible for false narratives. One of the issues is copy/pasting stories from other sites and reporting them word for word as their own without vetting it (not unlike what you posted), and 2) getting a story from social media and blowing it out of proportion without vetting it, and 3) the haste to be the first to print without vetting it. In summary; without vetting it.

". . . are demanding that Tree's and Delisha's remains be returned to them. They want apologies from the universities and an investigation into how the girls' remains were handled." I don't care if they were assholes. 5 of the 11 killed were children. The city and the universities could at least put up a memorial of some kind - for the children. FFS. Children <hangs head in disgust>.

I'm really not sure how to address this. Perhaps it comes from being taught properly and butt slides were frowned upon. According to whom? I used an Icarus 365 and didn't have any problems with it.

My bad. I was agreeing with what Bill was saying to Rich's post (as in not true), not disagreeing with Bill.

Mandy at Skydive Dallas was shorter than most of her tandem students. Can't remember her sliding any of them in.

We rate this Facebook post False.

So, there is a plan. What happened to the whole, "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat" thing. Now, you guys got all organized and shit? It would explain a lot. :)

I'd need to ask you to paint a verbal picture for me. The student is attached to the TI's harness at the shoulders. If the TI is standing, then the student can't be bent in half. The only way for the student to be bent in half is at the waist with their legs lifted up (The side harness connectors are loosened to max extension).

Unacceptable.

Two separate instances; I'm talking with fathers with daughters the age of mine. Have you gotten the Vaccine yet? "No. Not sure I'm going to." "Why is that? "Not sure what's in it." Change the subject. Wait a bit. "Hey, my daughter's getting to that age of getting the HPV vaccine; are your daughters going to get it? "YEAH!" "Know what's in it?" Sometimes I get a kick out of that fucked-up look someone gets on their face.

Seriously? I'm really not sure what to say about this. Have we gotten to the point where we can no longer land our canopies on a dime? Just how small will we go, how long will we continue to accept the lack of canopy control that we need to really add an air bag to our ass. We have gotten to the point where we accept that its OK for a tandem Instructor to need this? C'mon. Upsize your canopies and learn to fly them and anything other than the "occasional" butt-slide from a TI is unacceptable. And, don't give me any shit about it. I've done 14 Tandems in a day and not butt-slid one of them.

Simple. We'll convert 'em first, then vaccinate 'em. Why you always got to make shit so hard, Brother?

Not true. He thinks plugging in the Hoover vacuum is a contribution to cleaning the planet.

Alright. I get where you're coming from. You can have some fajitas.

No confidence to jump again after an injury

That's why you're the brains in this outfit. -
In your first post - you stated you were still re-habilitating. I would encourage you to make sure it's fully healed. Once injured; the ankle is susceptible to reinjuring fairly easy. I've reinjured mine more than once being a dumb ass. But, you could be a Doctor and I should shut up now. :)

Excellent - have some fun.

Great Advice. I might also add that it should be an no stress, all about me, maybe sunset, slight breeze, Hop-N-Pop. No additional variables.
