  1. Obama may not to pass up a fourth term.
  2. Biden said that he was in good shape but then quipped, "It's just my brain." Sometimes there is more to a joke.
  3. Didn't Trump call him "Sleepy Joe".
  4. I don't know how they are going to convince Biden to drop out or how they are going to force him out. Considering his performance at the debate, he has almost 7 months left in his term. What will he be like then. If I were to make a bet, I would bet he is on the ballot in November.
  5. There is a lot more to age than numbers. If you look at Biden now, if he wins, what will he be like in 7 months when the his next term begins. It is time to take the keys away from grandpa.
  6. The number of aircraft movements, take offs and landings, can go a long way toward receiving airport grants. Who does a lot of take offs and landings, skydiving operations. Airports get the money and want to get rid of skydivers.
  7. That reminds me of "Cadillac Smith" from Big Flats, NY. He had a sign on the car stating thank you Security of agriculture and USDA, this car purchased with money paid for not growing corn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Smith He was born on January 25, 1916, in Corning, Steuben County, New York. He attended the public schools in Big Flats, and Corning Free Academy. He graduated from the New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University in 1938.[1] Afterwards he farmed in Big Flats. In 1961, he bought a Cadillac for $6,100 using money he gained from farm subsidies, which were intended to prop up crop prices by paying farmers not to grow crops.[2] Smith, a fourth-generation farmer, drove the Cadillac around the district as a campaign prop demonstrating the largesse of the federal government's entitlement programs, and the next year managed to win the Republican primary in the 49th District, defeating the incumbent State Senator Harold A. Jerry, Jr. Afterwards he was nicknamed sometimes as Bill "Cadillac" Smith. He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1963 to 1986, sitting in the 174th, 175th, 176th, 177th, 178th, 179th, 180th, 181st, 182nd, 183rd, 184th, 185th and 186th New York State Legislatures.
  8. George Carlin 3 commandments.
  9. Cornell ecologist's study finds that producing ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy. corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; switch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; and wood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced. In terms of energy output compared with the energy input for biodiesel production, the study found that: soybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and sunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced. In addition, your car will get nearly the same MPG with 9 gallons of gas without ethanol as 10 gallons of gas with 10% ethanol. the only advantage of ethanol is that it is an octane booster but I don't think the trade off is worth it. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2005/07/ethanol-biodiesel-corn-and-other-crops-not-worth-energy
  10. Sam Kinneston solves the hunger problem. https://www.google.com/search?q=sam+kinneston+on+hunger&rlz=1C1PRFI_enUS786US788&oq=sam+kinneston+on+hunger&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQLhgNGIAEMgoIAhAAGAgYDRgeMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgoIBBAAGIAEGKIE0gEJMTE1NTBqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:afba1ee4,vid:K44DriPrLUk,st:0
  11. I think Mickey Mouse can get a pair of hip waders on Amazon.
  12. Does that include all the corn that is used to make ethanol.
  13. Mine was a 1962 VW Beetle, paid $175.00. I bought this car and my airport from the same guy.
  14. With the cost of day care, driving the kids to day care or school, after school babysitting, paying for cleaning service, lawn mowing or landscaping, buying fast food or prepared food for dinner can eat up most of a second salary. Also, missing soccer games and other after school activities because you are still at work, being too tired to help with homework or spend time with your kids.
  15. Don't you mean the next 2 years of their life.
  16. The Catholic Church is loosing members, they need to bump up the members and the $$$.
  17. There were 6 siblings in my moms family, they had a total of 7 children. On my dads side there were also 6 siblings with 9 children born, 5 adoptions and one sibling died during WWII and had none.
  18. It is a wonder that there are any more people living in Cabot Cove with people being killed every week.
  19. At one of the past Symposium banquets, I was sitting at the same table as John and Nancy. I told John a couple of skydiving related jokes and and he was laughing pretty hard. He was a good guy and will be missed. If there is a memorial, someone please post the date.
  20. A friend of mine used to say, "it's ok to lie for the government but not lie to them".
  21. I also heard the same thing, always wear clean underware incase you get by a car. Hawkeye Pierce from "MASH" said " I always wear clean underware incase I get run over by a tank"
  22. Many of us on this forum are at an age that before things get really bad, we will be gone. It appears that society is on a downward slope and it is logarithmic not linear.
  23. My old underwear is a little shredded, does that count as lace?
  24. You say that like it is a bad thing. Fewer people, less energy use, less CO2 in the atmosphere, global warming slowing down, less traffic on Interstate 4 between Orlando and Disney World.
  25. Now all we need is a world wide electric grid so the part of the day time part of the earth can supply the night time place.
