I use to do a lot of century rides, I just got tired of them. I would much rather ride all out, as hard as I can for an hour and a half than take down a few notches for a 3-5 hour ride. I still do them occasionally, just not very often.

Oh, my! I have a long career in aviation, I'm coming up on 39 years. I started in the military, yes, US Army. I've been flying commercially for 35 years, two years in Alaska, one year in Southern California, twenty three years in the Gulf of Mexico. and now closing in on ten years in EMS. My next goal? Retirement!
I fly for a stand alone air ambulance provider. We do scene calls, yes, but we do a lot of interfacilities as well. We're based in Northern California - CALSTAR.

Didn't you learn anything in school? 
Chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream are the same thing, just different physical states. That's why the chocolate milk is so good. I have to admit that experiencing the transition from solid to liquid with the frozen stuff is verrry pleasant in the mouth.

Well, thank you! I hope you haven't need us personally, but connected with your career?

I remember being on a military flight back from Rota Spain, forget the plane but an enormous bare bones cargo jet. Went up into the cockpit, had to climb some kind of ladder. One pilot was asleep, the other was not reading but looking at a copy of Penthouse and the third guy was reading a novel. Not a single pair of eyes looking out the windows. I kid you not. I went back down feeling very assured of our safety.

Scared the crap out of me, had a Pfc with shrapnel in his chest very close to his heart from a grenade. Chest tube in place, rode along until we could get him to a heart surgeon. My god they move every which way. Looking down the fuselage out the front window- extraordinary how the thing veered every which way from a straight line. A fixed object on land seemed like a toy boat cast into a stormy sea..

...I ought to warn you that the stooopid in there has reached a level best described as epic. There was, in the distant past, some effort at an exchange of ideas, however disparate. For some reasons that would take a long time to explain, it is now ruled more by trolling and insult than by genuine dialogue.....................thus my presence.
