  1. “Silicon Holler” love it You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  2. “Canada has a world-class sniper system. It is not just a sniper. They work in pairs. There is an observer,” a military source said. “This is a skill set that only a very few people have.” I wonder how many people in the world could pull that off? Good work and a much better option than dropping bombs IMO. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  3. ***call for expanding apprenticeship This might just work for the younger ones in the group. However, the 'apprentiship' programs ( IMO ) will never work for the older unemployed. They do not want to learn a new trade ( as if some of them could ), they just want their old jobs back. And that is not going to happen. Jerry Baumchen "change with the times of get left behind" if the options are learn a new trade or don't pay the rent I will go with learn a new trade You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  4. yes sir Lee Middle School In the article it states that the name was picked because they wanted to deter black children from attending. Seems like a good reason to get rid of the name. They high school where I used to coach is called JEB Stuart and I was curious about the naming, looks like it was the same deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._E._B._Stuart_High_School yes I found that interesting. Right now the school has a 76% minority enrollment. Earlier this week they started moving a statue of a confederate soldier "Johnny Reb" from a park in downtown Orlando. They are going to put it back up in a confederate veterans section at a local cemetery. While removing it they found a time capsule that they plan to open in a few weeks.

  6. Because it's not his place (with 60 jumps) to teach experienced jackass a lesson? I wasn't talking about any lesson just saying he doesn't have to get along with the guy. I have been the guy in the door getting screamed at to go. If you can't see out the door you have no idea what could be keeping the jumper from exiting. I agree a conversation on the ground can help both people understand what is up. Now if the instructor that is right behind the exiting newb tells him to get out then I would say he should take that advice. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  7. First of all, what's a senior TI? Here's the best advise I've got for ya... Go talk to the TI. Tell him what you were thinking, listen to what he has to say, ask other Instructors for their opinion, and call this a teachable moment. You've gotta get along with him (the TI) in the future, let him know your a student that wants to learn. And, my guess is, he'll probably feel like a jackass for being one.
  8. That reminds me of an incident at one of the Muff Bros. reunions. We broke open some chem lights and smeared them on potatoes which Jerry Bird promptly shot straight up in the air from a potato gun so we could dodge the tracers on reentry. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

  13. my first cutaway spinning on my back and new it had to go. Performed emergency procedures and good reserve opening. While under canopy I thought well that was not so bad I don't even feel scare/excited. then I landed and realized how bad my legs were shaking. I guess it was a little more exciting than I thought.

  19. Also not abroad but from the North side of the country. I miss the Coney Island hot dogs in Detroit. Seems like we had a Coney Island Franchise on every other corner. Went to a little diner in Orlando the other day. They were advertising Coney Island hot dogs as a special. So I asked the waitress about them. CONEY DOGS DO NOT HAVE PEPPERS AND CHEESE ON THEM.

  20. https://milsap.wordpress.com/regions/southeast-lower-peninsula-areas/downriver/riverview-highlands-riverview-mi/ I drove by it once many years ago, but never skied there. I know of Mt. Trashmore. We used to go to Alpine Valley. We had a 12' long toboggan when I was a kid. We had a lot of fun on that thing. There was a sledding hill in one of the apple orchards that we would go to.

  23. The primary reason is due to the The Immigration and Nationalization Act of 1965 (codified as 8 U.S. Code 1152) says: "No person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person’s race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence." Congress could change the law, of course - but they have not yet done so. So until they do, discrimination against immigrants based on their nationality, place of birth or place of residence is illegal. A secondary (and less clear) reason is due to the First Amendment's guarantee that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." The EO states that the US will: ". . . prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality." That means non-Muslims based on the country list. This is less clear because the administration is claiming that they are not Congress and so it doesn't apply to them, and since they didn't actually state a specific religion it shouldn't matter anyway. thanks that is what I was looking for You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  24. billvon I have a question about the EO. You are saying it is illegal. I thought there have been precedents set as far as restricting immigrants from other countries. Can you tell me where the illegal part comes in? You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  25. I met my wife through a Navy friend. She had just graduated from high school and wanted to get the hell out of Alpena Michigan. Her best friend was my friends girl so she came down to Virginia Beach with them. 2 months later my 4 years were up, we were engaged and heading to Detroit. That was 36 years ago and "we're still together" You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
