Great book. Loved it in HS. Wanted to re-read it the other day. Found out that Amazon's Kindle version is $13.99!

Really! After all of this time?

I'm going to the local used paperback store and find a copy for $3. Stick it you greedy publishers.

As a former climber -- granted, not a paraglider, but I have used a lot of 'biners in my day -- I'd say this particular one is a cheap-o!

Considering,m that it has a locking gate, I'm surprised that it does not have a notch in the gate that under load (like this) would prevent the gate from opening even if the gate lock had come unscrewed.

Given how important this is I would have either replaced the 'binder, or taped the gate.

Perfect for my Zombie-Apocalypse mobile command center.

Will have to add a .50-cal to the roof and MacGyver something up to make those stairs retractable!

No big deal. Remember the Lazarus Bowl ep on X-Files?

Very cool stuff... but what, no love for the X-15? Where is the Space Shuttle?

What happened to the Rutan Voyeger, Steve Fossett and the Gossamer Albatross?

That's cool that the Orca can do that, yet it's so sad if you think about it for very long... Calling, calling, calling..... and no answers.

Opps... here's the link: http://estes.on-line.com/samson/samson.htm

I lived in Estes Park in the mid-80s and when people asked me where to go to see elk, I'd tell them go to the golf course.
A cow ran into my car at a downtown intersection and did about $2,500 in damages. The elk jumped up and ran off.

Follow this link to read about Sampson -- a mighty bull that was killed by a (*^%*& poacher back in the '90s.

Oh, the humanity!

TR is #1 in my book just for establishing the National Park system -- kicking it off with Yellowstone! All the other stuff is just gravy.

Bully!

He's thinking that he's glad he voted for Johnson and not for Goldwater.

Hellllloooooooo ... cupholders!?

If I did this to my dog, she's gonna expect dinner first, and maybe a movie.

Good grief!

Why on earth is that animal wearing a collar?!

Set phasers to stun!
