I saw this on pia.com http://pia.com/NEWS/PFI%20-%20MegaFly%20Press%20Release1%20(Revised).pdf It's a fully elliptical 9000 sq ft canopy. The wing span is 20ft less than a 747. "MegaFly is designed to carry 30,000 lb of cargo and is intended to be dropped at altitudes up to 25,000ft. It can fly autonomously via GPS guidance for distances up to 40 km to a designated point on the ground."

In 1992 I got what seemed to me to be a hostile letter saying I had Hepatitis C. I was certain it was an error, because in the weeks between previous platelet donations (in which I tested fine), I hadn't been sexually active or in contact with anyone's blood. They listened to me and agreed that it was probably a "false positive", but were unwilling to retest me. I found a different blood bank told them the story and they tested me. I have been donating there uneventfully for the last 14 years . "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk

Every 20 minutes of so, a fire tanker flys over my place REAL LOW. I think the last one set off a car alarm in the parking lot. There are P3 Orions and P2 Neptunes. This Air and Space Museum site has photos of some of the planes that are buzzing Goleta- http://www.air-and-space.com/20060918%20SBA.htm http://www.air-and-space.com/20060909%20SBA.htm Here is a true color image of the smoke plume from modis on AQUA. I did a search of the "day fire" and found these great photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/docsearls/sets/72157594288843203/ "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk

I just returned from Lompoc. The smoke pushed through to the airport this morn. Last I heard they were taking the Caravan to Paso (Star Frams Boogie). A couple people complained of headache and irritated throat after the one load that flew. The sun was a pretty pink disk when it rose this morning. You could look directly at it.

Here in Goleta, it was clear last night, but this morning the sky is brown-tinted overcast. It is smoke from a brush fire somewhere. You can smell it. I guess is might be from the Day fire that is threatening Fillmore. The weather report shows the sky condition for Lompoc to the north and Ventura to the south as "clear", but cities in between are "smoke".

I live near Santa Barbara airport, where I have seen similar aircraft, but no flying saucer. They are California Department fo Forestry Tankers, Grumman S-2F 3AT Turbo-Tracker. http://www.air-and-space.com/20060625%20SBA/DSC_8149%20S-2F3AT%20N436DF%20CDF%20Tanker%2076%20left%20front%20taxiing%20l.jpg There is a smilar dishless plane that frequents the airport here. It is the Grumman C2A Greyhound. I regularly see a Piaggio Avainti. Now that is weird! "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk

how was it attached to the bride? Was it one of the ones sew backwards and somehow not caught? PSB20031203. applied to Skyhooks shipped Oct 12 - Dec 1 2003. This skyhook says 2005, but is not a Skyhook II (not anodized blue), but it has red upper attachment like a skyhook II (the red upper attachment is red to help prevent the skyhook from being sew to the bride backwards. ) The skyhook II addendum is in the Skyhook packing instructions found at http://www.relativeworkshop.com/support_rigging.html How long after the Skyhook II was introduced (12/2003?), were skyhook 1's used. I've seen a 12/2004 micron that had a Skyhook 1. This one is stamped 2005. I guess I should be asking RWS, rather than thinking out loud here (or "not-thinking" out loud for that matter).

I like the prints. I've read that parachutes were popular in Russia during the 1930s. -from The Pre-Astronauts Manned Ballooning on the Threshold of Space by Craig Ryan The first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkov, was a recreational jumper at a "air sports" club.

[high5] you're funny!!![/high5] A cowker has a purse pooch. I prefer the title Armpit Chihuahua. I harrass my coworker about it. "What the fuck were you thinking?" I guess it sensed my distain, and growled and quivered, like it was ready to slip the surely bonds of earth, I would taunt "Tuco", "hey little fucker, better bark or your going to explode". "don't you wish you were a dog?" , "remember when you were a puppy and people thought your were cute and played with you?" Tuco gets dyed blue now and then, which only make it seem even more pathetic. The owner warns me "Erik" as I growl back at the little turd. I believe little "Tuco Ben's" namesake is the "bad", in "The Good Bad and the Ugly", as in Elli Wallach's despicable character. Cutie? To tell the truth, if girlieGrrrrl was a person, she would be tattoed chain-smoker, with no patience and even less personality. She would be a right bitch. I find her bad attitude delightful. I've had her since whe was a hatchling and my love is unconditional. "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk

Nah, I sure wouldn't. Technically, if it fits in a purse, it isn't a real dog. Then again, I am not in much of a position to criticize. I transport my gecko to the vet in a romika dress shoe. I have been seen sitting in a waiting room surrounded by dogs, whispering reassurances to a shoe. "It's going to be all right".

I am half way though John Irving's Until I Find You. I'm not sure if I will finish it. If anyone has read it, please let me know whether it is worth finishing (it is 824 pages). On deck is Lorrie Moore's Anagram. "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk -

I sure liked Cloud Atlas. I don't normally judge a book by its cover, but it was a factor in this case. Have you read Ghost Written, #9 Dream, or Black Swan Green? "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk -
What reduction in blood volume is there with a platelet donation or were you referring to plasma donation? I am curious, as I often go jump right after a double yield of platelets. "And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk

That is what I thought. I had heard the blood products industry didn't pay any longer, because of concerns that people would not be truthful during the screening process. You know the "Have you ever been incarcerated for more than 72 hours? Have you ever posted drunk to dz.com?" type questions.
