Free Republic

40 years ago I was a member of the aerospace Corp outdoor sportsman club and the Sierra club. With Sierra I did two years of their mountaineering course,the second year with my 16 year old son, now 54. Snow camping, ice and rock climbing. I did a lot of Sierra treks and xc skiing,as well as Santa Monica hikes and bikes. GEE now that I think about it there were NO people of color anywhere I went. I didn’t think about it then, too intent on saving my ass. And now that I am content,ar age 79 to walk or bike on the flat hot beach, I DONT CARE if people of color don’t do these things.

Hi again from N Calif

It’s always the greedy insurance companies who bail. There seems to be no other reason than profit for insurance companies to exist. Big government managed health care for all must be the solution.

I met Gray in 96 at a fundraiser. I went because Mary Matilin was there but had a good conversation about Clinton abuse of whitehouse intern. He is a legal expert with moral standing.
I agree with clearance issue, once having the top ones myself and scared shitless that I would make a mistake to lose my job.

Here on time for a change But bedtime

Fly to Jacksonville, a pleasant airport and visit the beaches east of the city, which are towns somewhat managed by the city. Atlantic Beach and Neptune have no high rise buildings. Jacksonville Beach is more congested and all three have modest, some racially mixed neighborhoods walking distance from beautiful wide sand beaches. AB has NS Mayport on the north. I love it here. I don’t own a home anymore and I hear prop taxes are high.

I don’t think the average voter understands or gives a crap about email security.
I had many top clearances in my AF and contactor careers. I shivered at the thoght of making a mistake with documents or phone contents. But just as the public lets a small number serve them in the military, they let the fewer Intel people do what we do and can’t be bothered with what rules we must follow.

Helios was. German European space agency mission, not NASA. They were launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Launch complex 41 by an AF Titan IIIE booster with a NASA centaur upper stage.

This jerk tries to be the libertarian and does not get Le Page, putting words in his mouth.
Read this which is the point:

“...if the USDA did not allow Maine to ban the purchase of certain foods – deemed by the governor to be unhealthy – he will scrap the entire program.”

He was nice to me at church family gatherings. This was War conscious Baltimore and I was 6 when I learned he was KIA. My first loss that I can remember. His parents gave me his short wave radio and his youth football uniform which I used.

Make Mexico Spain again

Don’t ya know,it is the selfish and greedy doctors and insurance companies that make it hard for the affordable care act to work.

Shenandoah County is where my Mom’ family lives, is amazingly consistent from 1900, about 20,000. I know many moved to D C for jobs but came back. I have had fun finding them in the census rolls from 1850 to 1940.
“To Be A Virginian either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption, or even on one’s Mother’s side, is an Introduction to any State in the Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from Above.”

Thank you. I just ordered the free e book.
I chose not to move to San Antonio, Texas Air Force Village, but came to Atlantic Beach, Florida, Fleet Landing. Still LOVE Texas.

I suggest you join asmainegoes.com and ask the question there.

I will follow FR and do whatever FReepers tell me to do.

Huh, I have three rotator cuff tears. And I and my surgeon agreed I will treat these tears with therapy. The larger muscles of my upper body support these lil torn muscles. Medicare and Tricare cover all but my chiropractor, who was the one who discovered the tears. Lift weights, FRiends but be wise.

I use to enjoy, as a kid watching the conventions on small b&w TV. I guess that was before primaries?

Mine just has LNJ
years ago I sent it away to zippo to be refurbed.
Stored back in Maine chest. Don’t need it in FLORIDA.

I carry three in my money belt when I travel. I have used them when tips for cruise service welcome cash.

I love Mary. I used to listen to her on DC radio, even chatted on air and via email. She turned me on to Drudge and FR. I met her at a 96 fund raiser in Maine.

My grandson as a preteen asked me what I thoght of it for his band name. He didn’t know what the word meant. And the band never happened. I thought it was a cool name.

How many delegates do the winners get?
Is this primary winner take all?
I can’t see the worth of NH primary.
Somebody clue me in, please

Just ordered it and read a few pages online. A special meaning so far to an Air Weather Service officer.

Sep 1975 the AF Titan3E launched NASA Viking One and two missions to Mars. During my 30 year AF and contractor career that was one of my fav TDYs to PatrickAFB. Maybe 300 trips there. Titan and Atlas space launches had me stationed at LAAFB,CA. 66-96.

Ask him about
fleetlanding.com
and visit us next time you visit him.
Just down the street.
I will bump into him at his gym?

Logging on to find our how many FReepers beside you and I live near NS
Mayport. I am at Fleet Landing.

I’M HERE. 2 miles south of the NS Mayport gate!!
Hi,Kathy and FRiends.
One reason why I moved to Atlantic Beach,FLORIDA from Maine.

They are on my country music cruise this week I got a discount from responding to their newsletter.

My dem wife and I are going on a country music cruise this week. I am sure she will be dismayed at the political accompaniment.
I found a cool patch for my hat that says “VIRGINIA roots” in green with the roots drawn, not printed.
My Mom was born in VA. We spent every summer there and I started grade school there. 3 GGpaps served VA.
. My Mom Loved Sen McCarthey so I know she would like Trump.

Will see These sisters on Country cruise 16 Jan.

Hi
I answered your private mail. Sorry it took so long. I used to be logged on all time at canteen. Now just to post a comment.

I moved from Martin satellite launch job to Rockwell early 80s. I was to manage a project to launch the new small ICBM from the B1 or another design called grasshopper.
They selected silo launch again. So I was stuck doing annual R&D report publication. Moved again to manage General Dynamics LA office.

I drove by the turn over to Camp Blanding off US 310 last month. I was visiting a classmate USN(Ret) in The Villages.
I had to look up the name Stark for the city enroute. In a quaint way Florida is not sure if it was named after a Confederate officer land owners wife or a local slave owner. Bet they never change the name of the town. I love living in Florida so pro military.

I did love Dr Strangelove movie. ‘64?
60 to 62. I was briefing SAC B 52 crews on the weather for their targets over Soviet and China as they prepared for 24 flights over the pole.
Chrome Dome.

Will see his concert on cruise 19 january

I was taught about such heat islands in my meteorology class in 1959.

Rode my bike beyond Neptune beach to the JAX beach lifeguard station about 3pm. Saw no HS kids on the beach.

I bought your Patriots History and just now bookmarked your forum posts for later reading.

I just ordered a hardback from Amazon.

I think my mom dropped out of CHS about that year to go to work as a telephone operator.

SALUTE to your Marine Son.
Say, how come no Bastardi since 3 October?

We are winding up a river cruise which spent a week on the Rhine.
Our guides were just polite when we told them our ancestors were German.my wife’s Pennsylvania,mine Virginia.
I wish I knew more how they got there so, NB, I will contact you.

I,m old so acoustic.graduated HS ‘55 and that’s when my Martin 0015 was made. Had the Martin factory tighten it up a couple years ago.
I play no better than I did in ‘55.

Preparation H ointment

“In 1992 and 1993, Mr. Smith served as the chief of the Clinton Transition Team at the US Department of Defense. He also chaired the Joint Security Commission established in 1993 by Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and CIA Director James Woolsey to examine the security procedures of the defense and intelligence communities and the companies that contract with them. In addition, he served on the congressionally mandated Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Services”

In those years I worked for an AF contractor supporting the NRO.and had all the compartmented clearances recently noted in an IG memo regarding Hillary emails.

We were dismayed as to the recommendations of the new Clinton team to reduce security controls. There was a woman in that administration, forget her name, whose name popped up in the 911 problems between CIA and FBI, I think.
