Flight Pundit

So Michael moves back to Colorado as this person starts a “business” –one that he (Michael) is well qualified to operate…in the very area he lived in!! Hmm…maybe there are opportunities for this up in Colorado??

The Chandler, Ariz., resident has started a business that will make it that much easier for amorous couples to join the “Mile-High Club.”

For $750, couples can get a 90-minute ride 6,000-feet above the Phoenix area, with the only destination being that delightful place known as love, sweet love, the Arizona Republic reports.

Riedel’s friend, Richard McPherson, flies the lovebirds up in a Cessna 320 decked out with a “retro lounge jazz club” interior for the company, Mile High AZ.

Thus far Riedel’s venture is still in its infancy. Mile High AZ is testing the airspace, so to speak, offering free flights to friends, who in turn leave “testimonials” on Milehighclub.com.

“It was everything we expected and more,” the Republic quoted one posting.

And though this mortgage broker hasn’t quit his day job, the paper reports, he’s enjoying the ride, noting it’s “a heck of a lot more fun to talk about than being a Realtor.”

All I can say is:::
***THUD***

OOH!! I want some of these for my tree this year…not everyone is as enthused as I am though…

Nothing says Christmas quite like a glittery black handgun hanging from the tree.

Urban Outfitters Inc. - no stranger to controversial products - is offering the 5-inch-long, Chinese-made gun ornament for $6 in its stores and catalogs this year.

“Bust a cap in your tree with this superglittery ornament in the shape of a handgun, complete with a satin ribbon for hanging,” the online description of the revolver says. It is meant, the retailer says, as an “ironic twist” on the holidays.

“Twisted” is more like it, said Kate Philips, Gov. Rendell’s spokeswoman. “The governor doesn’t find it humorous or clever to display weapons that are responsible for taking hundreds of lives each year as if they are decorations,” she said.

Oh phooey to you Gov. Rendell….Most people I know collect ornaments for their trees that express their interests and hobbies.
So what if it’s a little gun? You’de think it was a crime or something.

With friends like this, NO one should feel safe or secure.

Russia has begun deliveries of the Tor-M1 air defence rocket system to Iran, Russian news agencies quoted military industry sources as saying, in the latest sign of a Russian-US rift over Iran.

“Deliveries of the Tor-M1 have begun. The first systems have already been delivered to Tehran,” ITAR-TASS quoted an unnamed, high-ranking source as saying Friday.

Why is Russia a voting member of the United Nations? A member who has veto power??

And now we’re getting reports like this:

LONDON, England (CNN) — Traces of radioactive material that apparently killed a former Russian spy investigating the death of a Russian journalist were found at places where he ate and met other spies just before falling ill, British authorities said Friday.

In a statement released after his death on Thursday, Alexander Litvinenko blamed a “barbaric and ruthless” Russian President Vladimir Putin for the attack. Putin called the death a tragedy, but accused opponents of “political provocation.”

Experts from the British Health Protection Agency, called in after radiation was suspected in the death on Thursday of the 43-year-old, confirmed that a large dose of polonium-210 was found in Litvinenko’s body.

What’s going on in Russia? When is Vladimir returning to the USA again?? Do we want him here???

Moving Back to Colorado.

I have not posted on this yet but I am moving back to Colorado tomorrow. My family needs some help as my dad has cancer and is starting to get weaker. I still have my house in Parker (south of Denver) but I am going to move in with my parents in Arvada (thank god they have a large house and some acres). We are opening a RV storage in the back and they need help setting it up.

At the Same time, my twin sister closed on her first house today! (Yea sis). This is in Auburn CA. I have all of this furniture that I was going to put in storage, but now I am going to drive it out to her new place. She is flying to Phoenix tomorrow and we are going to drive to Denver (she in my truck and I in a 24-foot budget truck. We will be in Denver sometime on Thursday and will have some food with the family, unload some of my furniture and household goods. Then we will load up more stuff into this big truck and drive it to Auburn CA. I think I am crazy for this trip. Here is a Map of our 2112 mile trip.

After we get this stuff to Auburn, I get to drive back to Reno where my twin is still working for the next couple of weeks. She wants to do a show and tell and me being the display. Sisters are weird like that. On Monday, I fly back to Denver from Reno and start my new job (the old job sucked) on Wednesday.

All of this because my sister was able to buy her first house and need lots of stuff…..I am going to help her with that.

I will most likely not be around much in the coming days.

Talk amongst yourselves for a while, and have a beer with your Turkey for me while I drive.

Matt at Black Five rips Charlie “Brown” Rangel to shreads and points out an option that I might be able to get behind. Yes, that would mean I would have to go too.

I would activate everybody (Reserves, NG, Retired, IRR) with the message that you’re in for the duration of the war plus six months.  Instead of a draft, this would get most people to understand what is at stake and that we are committed to victory.  It’s a WWII mentality, rather than a “police action” mentality.

I like Victory.  and it will also send a message to the Terrorists! “We will win, you will die!”

What do you think?

Well, sometimes it might improve what the journalists write and take out the biases.

Outsourcing Journalists

PARIS: The rush of job recruiting ads on MonsterIndia.com tells the story of the latest class of workers to watch their trade start migrating to another continent.

“Urgent requirement for business writers,” reads one ad looking for journalists to locate in Mumbai. “Should be willing to work in night shifts (UK shift.)”

Or maybe not!

I have worked with lots of Indians (from India) and their best is not always up top par with our average. But for $10,000/month you can a skill set like our $100,000 skills.

As the Journalists in today’s print media suck this might be an improvement or at least status quo for less money

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word.

The word they were given was “Timbuktu.”

First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:

Slowly across the desert sand&
Trekked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu.

The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

Me and Tim a huntin’ went.
Met three whores in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.

UFC fight night at Miramar MCAS (this used to be where the Naval Weapons Fighter School was held (Top Gun to you movie buffs)

UFC HONORS MARINES WITH FIGHT NIGHT

The audience will consist solely of three thousand United States Marines stationed at Miramar, except for five (5) pairs of seats which are being auctioned off to the general public to this incredible event. This is the ONLY way non-military will be able to gain access to this UFC Fight Night. All auction proceeds will benefit the Marine Corps Community Services Quality of Life Programs for the Marines and Families, which support the health and well-being of active duty service members and their families throughout the year.

This would be fun and a good cause
