    Default It's Hard To Beat The LA Speed Story

    This has probably been posted a hunnert times, 20 or so by me. But I get a kick out of Brian Shul telling the story about him and his new backseater Walter. Makes me smile every time I hear it.

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Brian graduated from Eastern Carolina and flew 212 combat missions in Nam. He got shot down near the end of the war. He was a nature photographer after he retired.

    I love those stories. In the book skunkworks, it talks about two guys flying overseas and having a fighter pull up next to them. They were down low due to an engine issue and when the pilot didn't respond, they lit the candles and left that fighter in the dust.
    I take an PLB in the shower with me. Can't ever be too safe.

    Whats it like to live w/o the Internet? Not bad, I get photos of your mom thought the mail....
