If you have shockwave installed and like to do jigsaw puzzles, today's puzzle is the New River Bridge. The picture changes daily, so you'll have to get there today to put together the bridge. Depending on the difficultly level, it only takes from a few minutes to about half an hour. http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/jigsawpuzzles There's other cool games there too.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off. The Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up! Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less. O.K., that's enough of that bullshit.... The donkey later came back, caught the farmer out in the field and kicked the shit out of him. Then he went over to each of his neighbors’ farms and kicked the shit out of them too for helping. The REAL Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it ALWAYS comes back to get you.

What DON'T you like to eat, that everyone else LOVES?

For me it’s raw tomatoes on subs, sandwiches, salads, etc. Just the slightest bit ruins the whole bite. But, what’s weird is that I like cooked tomatoes like on a white pizza or in chili. Olives are another one just takes a little bit to ruin the whole bite. Like on a pizza or in a salad. -Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

I had a whuffo tell me this weekend that he thought the reason skydivers wore jumpsuits was because falling so fast would burn the skin. I did a good job of not laughing and told him that that's not the issue. I enjoyed the slight look of shock when I said that I jumped from 13.5 in a t-shirt and shorts.

Hi, I bought a 1979 23ft Class C this summer. I've never owned any kind of camper before so I'm no expert. My dad helps with a lot of stuff with it. Anyway, here are some thoughts. As for cost, they are expensive. I paid $6100 for mine and put about $500 in it. I need to get 6 tires for it and get the regulator fixed for the propane. I figure that will be another grand. It's not in bad shape and I think the things that went wrong (belts, alternator) were from the thing just sitting not being used. Class A's are more expensive. If you want something you won't have to worry too much about, I'd think 10K minimum (even for a class C). You can find them cheaper, but you'll probably be putting money into it. Also, gas mileage is horrible. Uphill, downhill, doesn't matter. I get a little over 9 mpg. Talking about driving, RV's are slow. They can go 70-80 mph but they are slow uphill and off the highway. I mostly baby mine (usually not much over 60). Your travel time will be increased. As far as day to day maintenance, checking fluid levels and air pressures before going on a trip is a must. It's best to make a checklist of things to go over before driving. These aren't vehicles you can just throw some stuff in and go. You don't need a special license though (at least I didn't for mine). Also, maintenance costs are higher. Insurance will be expensive too. State registration, inspections, and crap like that will be more expensive. Generators: Great concept, but they are LOUD! From what I understand Onan generators are pretty quiet but I never heard one run. Mine is very loud. I never had mine at a campground with hookups so I can't comment on that. I can say that with mine, electricity is really nice to have (lets me run the microwave and the electric heater). You don't have to hook up to water/sewage especially if the place has bathrooms. This all sounds really bad, but it's not as bad as it seems here. RV's give you flexibility and convenience. I would guess that most drop zone would allow you to camp in it while you're there and they may even provide electric or other hookups. It is nice having the RV right on the DZ. I've done the hotel thing and the RV is much nicer. But, if you're looking for something cheaper than driving your car and staying in hotel, this definitely ain't it. Hope this helps. If you do some searching there are some good web sites and newsgroups (www.google.com). Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

A new twist on the chain letter concept: I was sorting the money in my wallet and I noticed some writing on the back of one of the dollar bills. It says (exactly, including the misspelling): "The person who recieves this bill will be blessed with a lot of money if you write this on 10 other bills" I have no intention of writing that message 10 times. I just wonder why someone would write this. Is it to get a bill some day with this message and laugh at all the people who fell for it? Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

I looked for the ATC speech recognition last night, but didn't find it. I looked over all the options in the software and then actually looked in the manual. I don't think it has it. Would be cool to have (assuming you wouldn't need to repeat the same command 3-4 times because it didn't recognize what you said). Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

I'll check on the voice recognition thing when I get home. When I bought it, it just came in a little box with the CDs. It came with a little getting started guide but really no printed docs . I just installed it and started playing. One time I was landing a 182 with retractable gear. I was nice and lined up on the runway and so I put the gear "down." I was coming in nice and slow towards the near end of the runway, wasn't going to undershoot. It all looked great up until I touched down. The view seemed like I was little lower than I should have been and I heard scraping and a crash noise. I was like "come on that was perfect!". In the instant replay, I realized I never put the gear up (well, until just before landing) . DOH! Then I was like "so that's what all the buzzing was about!" . In the real world it would have been a nice soft belly landing. Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

I recently bought MS Flight Sim 2002 Pro and so far like it. I never had any of the previous MS Flight Sims so I can't compare to them, but I did have Sierra's Pro Pilot '99 and even Sublogic's flight simulator for the Commodore 64. I like flying around trying to find stuff like Mount Rushmore, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Statue of Liberty, and so on. There is alot of stuff like that to find. One of the things I like the most about it is that it has grass strip airports and even has BVSD's Kindelberger airport . One of the first things I did with it is try to take off in a 747 from Kindelberger . I did eventually get it in the air but not before plowing through lots and lots of trees .

The name of the JPG is: c5_nosegearup_1.jpg Is this really to suggest that it's landing with the nose gear up? Or is it taking off and the nose geat was put up right away???
