All they found was the camera ...

Put your coffee down before you start watching this. I was standing over my buddies shoulder with a fresh cup of java. He asked me to watch it... we just didn't think about the coffee in my hand.

Maybe one of the coolest drivers in racing history... an independent

The fish were hitting the Asiago/dried tomato turkey sausage held to

Charles Plumb - Who packed your parachute?

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat
missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb
ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6
years in a communist Vietnamese prison, he survived the ordeal and
now lectures on lessons learned from that experience.

One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man
at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet
fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were
shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I packed your parachute," the man replied.

Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and
said, "I guess it worked!" Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your
chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says,

"I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white
hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many
times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are
you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was
just a sailor."

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden
table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and
folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the
fate of someone he didn't know.

Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"

Everyone has someone who provides what he or she needs to make it
through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of
parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he
needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional
parachute, and his spiritual parachute.

He called on all these supports before reaching safety. Sometimes in
the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really
important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you,
congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to him
or her, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people
who pack your parachutes. I am sending you this as my way of
thanking you for your part in packing my parachute!

I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!

Selling your dreams

1982 CB650 Screaming Rocker

After two years of finding just the right parts (like a Stage 3 Jet kit, pod filters, dunstall reverse megaphone mufflers, new rear shocks, replacement fork seals, clubman drop bars, a GS550 Suzuki tank, a new tombstone tail light assembly, a new wiring harness, and a new battery) I removed the luggage rack and front fender, powder coated most parts, cleaned the electrical brushings, and finally gave it the winning paint job it needed.

Court rejects death penalty for raping children

Here is part of  a story that I grabbed from MSNBC:

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Wednesday outlawed executions of people convicted of raping a child.

In a 5-4 vote, the court said the Louisiana law allowing the death penalty to be imposed in such cases violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

"The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion. His four liberal colleagues joined him, while the four more conservative justices dissented.

Since we cant kill them then when someone is convicted of raping a child then the parents or guardians of that child should be allowed to cane, beat, batter and bludgeon the convicted rapist.  That is my two cents.... we have got to make them think twice about doing it again if we let them live.
