Dang, you look good up there Bill! And your humility has prevented you from telling us about your nice personal watercraft, I'm impressed!

Because you won't read it in the press, and the guys involved won't ever say much about it, I'll put it up here. Two of my friends (much demonized 1 per centers) are spending today and tonight, and about 15 grand of their own $$$, flying a mid 20's Staff Sargent who recently lost both legs at his hips in Afghanistan, across the country to San Diego.

This is not a rare occurrence for either of them, it's just one of dozens of such missions that they fly during the year. Each mission is flown by, and 100% funded by the pilots involved. The passengers are in no physical, or mental condition to travel by any other means. Now that's a story that should be shouted from the rooftops.

When you have that money, you can hire someone to follow, and pick up after you...
I have to share this, with you all. Our refridgerator stopped working and all we had to do, was reboot the darn thing. I guess anything with a chip, in it, is worth a try. You have to unplug it and turn it off. This may save you a service call.

It doesn't surprise me at all. Many successful people have this attitude, it's just not politically advantageous for the current agenda to tell everyone.

Plus in reality only the 1% have the ability to do something like this. Also 100% of the money and effort goes to the recipient as apposed to the, bureaucracy, and total ineptness of a government run operation.

Good on your friends!!

The next time you talk to the owners of the boat please let them know I am available to man one of the 50 caliber pirate deterrent systems.

If they don't have any, I hope that is one fast boat.
