That's a pretty rad sky resume. The two things that caught my eye were the Belize jump and the HALO jump. How were they??? Did you do the HALO jump with those guys in Tennessee?

This is great advice. I did two back loops out the door. My instructor wasn't happy with my cavalier attitude. There is plenty of time. Arch and relax.

Maybe. But Hillary makes it hard to like her. I wouldn't be surprised if the moderates and even the Right held a much more favorable opinion of Sanders, O'Malley, or Howard Schultz. Time will tell.

I stated my opinion. I didn't make a formal argument. There are no premises. http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/2016-presidential-swing-state-polls/release-detail?ReleaseID=2261 So, yes, in my opinion, I am comfortable using the word "we.". Maybe you have something of value to add?

Will she face criminal charges in regard to her email server? As much as I'd like to be cynical and say that the elites don't answer to the same laws -- I can't. It is doubtful that the FBI/DoJ would take the steps that they have without a good case for it. A criminal probe of a former SoS, senator, and First Lady is a big commitment. If they get it wrong, Hillary will scorch the earth. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian...whatever. I think we can all agree that Hillary Clinton lacks good character. Polls show that the majority of the American populace agrees. A nation of 320m people. Is this the best we can do? http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article30714762.html

There is a Mexican (no pun intended) standoff going on within the GOP. The RNC and mainstream conservatives are pushing against Trump, but they can't push him too far. If they do, he'll run as an independent like Perot did -- and Hillary wins. If his momentum continues, the GOP handlers may have to pick between endorsing Trump or giving the election to Hillary. Well, you know what they say...we get the government that we deserve.

Sunpath is awesome. I just ordered an Odyssey. One of the dudes was on the phone with me for an hour -- just talking about gear and skydiving in general. A+

Thanks, bud.

Hey TD, I've been to SkyVenture-Nashua. The rate was $900/hr. Is there some way to get a discount or buy in bulk? Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, guys!

One of the instructors that I asked said ~5 hours. Does that sound right? Almost $5k to get a decent sit going? Who am I kidding, I'm going to pay it anyway, but damn...any additional tips?

I donate when I can, as well. It's a great thing. For men, it can have additional health benefits, as we tend to have higher iron levels than women. Donating whole blood can reduce oxidative stress. One last thing, wait a few days to jump after a donation!

Just keep in mind that it has a ton of carbs. Just because you are at a caloric deficit doesn't mean that you can't develop metabolic syndrome.

I'm just going to leave this here. He seems to agree with you. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-02/doctor-boards-atlanta-flight-hazmat-suit-protest-lying-cdc

Skydiving is 260,000 times safer than Ebola. Jokes on you, whuffos.
