A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Erickson was taken over by a private equity firm and driven into bankruptcy. The magic of the market!
ReplyDeleteI was in the stands at Reno once when a Skycrane did a water-dump demo down the runway in front of us. It's about 1000 feet from the stands, the wind was in our faces, and we had a hard rain.
ReplyDeleteI watched them pull an unstable tree off of a cliff above a road above the Klamath river once, but I think the helicopter was slightly smaller than a sky crane.
ReplyDeleteI sort of couldn't believe it would hold it up, but it did.
