I have naturally low bp and have had no problems. Thing is, your bp is gonna' go up anyway so it oughta' get you to slightly above "normal", during the jump. "T'was ever thus."

How the hell do you dress for an occasion like that?!!! Walt Lots of padding and high-impact plastic. I never said it didn't hurt. "T'was ever thus."

Though I never cared for it, C & W was an actual genre and had some "artists". Country, however....well, as the saying goes..."if you can't make it in music, do like Garth and Go Country." "T'was ever thus."

I realized that, a long time ago. Any extreme, hot or cold, makes people nasty. I was born and spent most of my time in the north but also lived in the south, for about 10 years. Southerners are, for the most part, much more pleasant and friendly. I can't recall a time when Jamaica or Bali were invading anyone and I don't think they're crankin' out terrorists. Nobody seems to be sweatin' Samoa, either....seems like, if they don't come from sand or snow....they're pretty tame. In the north, when the weather gets colder and the daylight gets shorter, everyone gets even meaner. The amount of daylight, I think, also plays a large part in peoples' moods. "T'was ever thus."

No guns needed. You just mention Al Gore and they'll laugh themselves to death. "T'was ever thus."

Need a fourth option! I'm a child of the '60s and '70s so....I really don't associate with squares. "T'was ever thus."

Fantasy Asolutely Contradicting Truth "T'was ever thus."

I don't doubt it can be done....even without the ramp. I've become "one" with ol' terra firma several times, sometimes at speeds in excess of 80 mph and with a near vertical angle of attack. Of course, I was appropriately dressed for the occasion. Hell, look at the impacts that Knievel survived! Might not be pretty but I think it can be done. "T'was ever thus."

Aviation was a big part of the war, it was global and did cause a lot of pollution....it's relevant, well....sorta'. "T'was ever thus."

Yeah, we didn't do it alone. Oddly, though.....we're the only ones gettin' blamed for it. Maybe our guys were the only ones, that carried side arms!? That'd certainly 'splain it! "T'was ever thus."

I have to admit, that part is true. Hitler, Mussolini, Khadaffi, Noriega, Hussein, etc.....none of them welcomed us!??! The French will obviously never forgive us for our violent tendencies, forcing all those nicely dressed Nazis out of their country. We are a buncha' meanies. "T'was ever thus."

That's like saying....if you play golf, you're just practicing to bludgeon someone to death....or if you own a driver's license, it's purely for the sake of running someone over. "T'was ever thus."

It must be true.....after all, he does have a D license. "T'was ever thus."

In spite of what some people say its a good idea to read and keep the directions. That's what happened to the directions, in the first place.....used 'em to light the furnace. "T'was ever thus."

I have extra watches, some are set for standard and some for DST....never been a big fan of hassle & bs.

Nicely accessorized too! The beer label matches nicely. "T'was ever thus."

If yun'z was in dahntahn Pissboig, you'd be stannin' by da' crick an' tawkin' 'bout dem Erribs an' 'nem, havin' dere nukilar weppins progrims an' stuff....like a buncha' greazers. "T'was ever thus."

Very carefully. It's too fast to j..................... "T'was ever thus."

Well, now you can't be trusted. "T'was ever thus."

Call for the HazMat disposal unit and my God, whatever you do....don't step in it!! "T'was ever thus."

Yak-52 "T'was ever thus."

Like I said, these are small outfits....private individuals, not company execs. I can't publicly post names like that, without permission. If you wanna' take the time, I'm sure I could arrange meetings and such, if you want to visit the area. There's nothing extravagant here and I basically told you, it IS second-hand, kinda'....but so is the fiction and fantasy reported by the media, propogandized by the government and capitalized on by the big oil companies. I get my info from them, which I suppose makes me the second hand, here when they say it....I guess that would be second-hand heresay. I guess I'm more inclined to believe the guys that are actually out there "in the field", than some basketweaving graduate, Starbucks groupie whose view of the world takes in little more, than the area between their plush, well-lit office and the closest water cooler. When the man says he has oil and shows me oil, I give 'em the benefit of the doubt. You come to me with a few hundred truckloads of oil shortage....that I can see, touch and smell, I'll likely rethink my position. "T'was ever thus."

These are all small, independent producers....the "little guys", that drill, pump & sell the stuff to the refineries. Most of them are old family businesses that have been in it, almost since the first well was drilled (Drake)....one of them owns the worlds oldest (still) producing oilwell....the McClintock #1. Examples. Who are they, what do they say and where do they say it? They are who I mentioned above, they say what I've been posting here and they say it to me, wherever and whenever I see them....in the field, at my garage, at my house, at their house, when I see them on the street, talk to them on the phone, in various letters to the editor and articles in the local newspaper, while I'm crawling through the oil-soaked mud ....beating myself up, to fix their junk-assed equipment....that, btw....they could replace with better stuff, if they were able to tap and sell more of their oil. Without crayons, I doubt I can make it any clearer for ya'. "T'was ever thus."

Sorry but all those you listed, well....it sounded like the line-up for a tap dancing marathon.
