    Side note: Had  solo student launch 6pm or so. I had walked down to launch first, unhooked and got him launched. Went to grab my glider and spotted a little rattlesnake right there next to the base bar. It was coiled up and managed a little strike as I picked up the wing but he couldnt reach far enough. Warm spring weather brings out the snakes so watch your step.

    The scales seem to be messed up on BLtop and BLdepth too. I do like the contrast in positive and negative values in the convergence graphic. Thank You Alan.

    I remember spring flying over that area, getting low and the orange blossom fragrance wafting up with the wind. Way cool.

    1 board member cannot force the rest of the board to follow. Whatever the issue is, it takes a majority to move forward and implement. (Unless you can rule by executive order, that is) Preventing motivated people from holding board positions? Really? Take a look at the USHPA board. Virtually every person there are stakeholders in the flying community. They have “skin in the game”, businesses that depend on the survival of the sport.  Sometimes what seems to be a self serving action actually is beneficial to all. Knee jerk reactions, should be avoided.  If you are that passionate, run for a board position. Next year.

    3 strike sounds fair.

    Restore mitch in a month? Maybe he can consult his thesaurus and find less offensive synonyms for his top 100 derogatory terms. I know, it wont be as fun to read, but maybe the gist of it will get through.

    According to this study (CNN: Cursing may be a sign of intelligence)

    Or a sign you learned to write and speak during your stint in the navy.

    reminds me of a lyric:

    but if I really say it, the radio wont play it, unless I lay it between the lines.

    The biggest crimes against humanity were legal. Made legal by….politicians. Thought up by…experts…Carried out by..citizens who believed the rationale put forth by said politicians and experts, and acted without questioning.

    Government would never lie to you. They are not at all predatory and are here to help you. Stop resisting.
