According to this there is a birth certificate and some people have seen it ... so why not produce it for every one to see? Personally, to anyone and everyone who asks? Surely you see the flaw in this suggestion. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why stop there...would you still have voted for McCain if you'd known that he would launch nuclear missiles at Russia the day after he took office? Personally, based on what I've seen so far, I'd still vote for Obama. This does not imply I think your list is a responsible or accurate representation of his actions in his first 100 days of Presidency. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

For every single "bad cop" out there, there are thousands of police officers trying their absolute best to do their best to serve their community. I suspect that the honor/service motivated cops represent a minority of the total force approximately equal in size to population of bad eggs. Most police do it for reasons no more honorable (or despicable) than anyone else's reasons for going to work. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If the officers have sufficient evidence to get a warrant, I'm ok with them taking it by force, just like they would with any other search. I'm not a fan of the policy in my state, which is that refusal to take a breathalizer or provide a blood sample results in an automatic suspension of the driver's license. Basically, that works out to "Let me search you, else you'll be found guilty, your choice." It doesn't seem like there's much choice there, but I don't have a better solution off the top of my head either. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It sounds to me like you're ok with spending, as long as it's directed at a population you are a member of. And before you take offense at that, note that it just makes you like (almost) every other person. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

And what do you do for restroom and bathing? I'm a bit too tall to take a bath in the bathtub, but Muttley might be able to, and I can stand up straight in the shower. The 30 gallon black tank will last much longer than the food will, so that's never a problem. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So I've bought a couple firearms this year, an LMT Defender 2000 in March, and a Springfield XD-40 sub-compact yesterday, and I'm hoping I can find a better price on ammo online than I'm seeing locally. HSM .223 and .40 S&W are both running near 50 cents a round for target shooting at the DZ, plus I paid a buck apiece for some "stop doing that" .40 S&W rounds to keep in the house. Anyone here have good experience with a particular online retailer with better pricing? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think everyone will see it differently, but in my mind, a "clique" is a group of people who aren't particularly friendly with people outside their group, and not particularly receptive to adding new members to their group. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

:4:0 3 tandems and one hop & pop after putting out an IAD student. Lots of alcohol and fun with explosives Saturday night. Overall a very fun weekend at the DZ, and I'm glad we were there even though we'd planned to take it off. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You *so* should have been there Saturday night...what a blast. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hey, you'd know that I've upped my pull altitudes if you jumped more often. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So this weekend I had to talk to a few people with far more jumps than me about some things they were doing. I've been an S&TA for several years now, and am accustomed to people thinking I'm just trying to be an asshole, even though that's not the case. In one case this weekend, it was a guy who, from my perspective, pulled dangerously low. He didn't believe he had, but he took the time to write me an email the next day saying "whether I pulled low or not, you saw something and said something, and I appreciate that. Thank you for calling me on it." That is soooo opposite of the response most jumpers give me, and it made my day. Having been on both sides of these sorts of conversations enough times, I can assure you that initiating a "talking to" is even less pleasant than receiving one. I'm posting this in hopes that maybe some others here could put a similar smile on the face of your local asshole (ASO). Sure, as an S&TA, he likely knows better than to expect thanks for what is almost exclusively a thankless job, but that doesn't mean he won't appreciate it.

Apparently not! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's still unclear. I have a 4-day weekend and it's possible we'll spend at least part of it either nowhere near an airport or maybe at some other airport than usual, filling a completely different role (i.e. *not* working

Happy belated birthday Kristi!
