Try rigging up for a jump and waiting a couple fo hours on the ramp at Pope Airforce Base to get on a C130 to fly nap of the earth for an hour with air conditioning that doesn't because the air is still too warm at that low altitude.............

Blasphemy!!! we used to drink from the hose in the barn...ooh it was the best, as the water from the farm well ALWAYS seemed to taste better and colder than any other!! and when we were playing down in the hay field we drank straight from the stream that ran along side it.... by todays standards I would be dead from it!!!  |

Icey COLD well Water! Do you have any idea how many people have never had that pleasure in this country? Millions, I'd wager. And millions more have never knelt to drink from a stream. Pity. |

Remember the Blue porcelin cup hanging on the barn next to the hand pump.  Nothin ever tasted colder and better than the cold water that came out of that pump after walking behind a hay bailer pitchin #60 bales onto the wagon in the heat all afternoon.  |

Ever pick up a bale that had a po'ed snake hanging outa it?  My Grandmother in Morgantown had a tin cup. Jeeze the mention of that takes me back 40 years, and I can just almost taste that water. Thanks for that one, Dave. |

Now here I am at a loss as to why anyone would chose to exit a perfectly funcionting aircraft by any means other than an exit ladder with the wheels chocked on terra firma... |

I use to think the same thing about Subs when I was in the Navy.....Why would anybody in their right mine get on a ship that was Designed To Sink...just never made sense. |
