Oh, the irony.

It always sounded fine. I'm just easily amused.

Of course we do. Always have.

What are you doing in this thread? There are no Negroes to pick on.

She either said it or she didn't. In her case, she did.

I wouldn't count on it - unless you escrow the cash for my retainer to defend you after you're charged.

Just gettin' into the spirit.

Doesn't a written warning put the DZO on record that they were complicit in letting a known safety risk continue to jump at the risk of others? Maybe I am just weasel adverse, but I don't want anything that can be subpoenaed during discovery. "It says here that you identified x number of saftey problems with Joe Blow Hooks through the Pattern, can you explain why 2 months later you allowed this jumper to board your aircraft for the jump when he crashed in to and killed my clients deceased son". I don't know why a written warning is needed? You have the keys to the sky at your little slice of airspace. Explain to them exactly the expectations, and then don't let them jump from your planes if you don't think they are demonstrating that they understand, or care to understand, what you expect of them. See SereJumper's response above; he hits the points pretty well. Agreed; DougH's and SEREJumper's posts both make excellent points.

God forbid we become like all of Western Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Much better that we remain like Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Sudan. You give us all a refreshing clarity.

Sheesh. Negroes. Can't live with 'em; can't pick cotton without 'em. ETA: Oh, wait - maybe you meant the Warsaw Ghetto. Well, basically they just murdered most of them, and turned the rest into lampshades.

But they can pull the ol "Reasonable expectation of privacy" while you're in your car, which is defined as private. Of course, that won't stop them from arresting your ass for the 10lbs of Colombian bam bam in the back seat because they could see it thru your window. The police do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in YOUR car. Again, not sure it is worth it to fight such nonesense, but it is nonesense. It's a double-edged sword. Many states have laws that prohibit electronically recording another person speaking without that person's advance permission. (That's why so many recorded phone intros always say "this call may be recorded for quality assurance", because if you don't hang up, you impliedly grant permission.) So in some states the "police example" can be claimed to be simply a matter of enforcing existing law. (It's basically the down-side to an otherwise beneficial law: what protects you and me from being bugged and wiretapped also has the secondary result of shielding police in the field from having their conduct recorded and preserved for review in the light of day.) Personally, as a matter of policy, I think that, in those states, exceptions should be expressly carved-out to allow recording of police; but I'd predict that most judges would rule that that should be done by the legislature, and not the courts. What I really think is evil are those states that have a specific law prohibiting the recording of police. That's just pure fascism, people; recognize it for what it is.

Yeah that's a real radar blip right there.

So all Jesus did was add a measly 15%. Show-off.

Not to close the door after the horse is gone, but this is a lesson that using a rigger or gear shop as an escrow service, if that's available to you, is a damned good idea, and worth every penny of the fee charged. Hope it works out ok for you.

I googled it. Still no idea. Guess i'm dum.

You also assume that I tolerate such nonsense in their POV or in a marked unit. I do not and nor do many others. I suppose "speed trap in the middle of nowhere" has been talked to death now, so I won't add to it. But you know, some times it's the little things that matter. I can't remember the last time I saw a marked police cruiser use a turn signal before turning. It just bugs me: Don't the turn signal laws apply to police as much as the rest of us? It leaves a bad impression. With all due respect.

Doh!! Now I get it. I kept burning my lips.

We just stacked the photos like a deck of cards and flipped thru them to get the illusion of movement.

It's a vicious circle, for you are now commenting on their commenting on your comments. And I'm commenting on your commenting on their commenting on your comments. Hell in a handbasket.

I've been to both The Ranch and Crosskeys during my travels up & down the East Coast. They're 2 of the larger, busier DZs in that region. Both of them are great DZs, and you really can't go wrong with either of them. Re: different AFF programs, the slightly over-simplified answer is that while there may be a bit of difference between one DZ's AFF program and another's, in most cases the difference is not all that much.

You could always strap on an explosive vest and give them a piece of your mind. Oh, wait, wrong country. Never mind.

I always wondered what they did with that money they saved on... you know, stuff.
