As we all have done for the last few days, I am sending my thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of these fine gentlemen. I am also wishing a safe return home for the rest of the crews who still have to work through these difficult times and then journey home. Drive safe please- you are a...

He was in remand for 13.5 months, which will count as 27 months toward his 54 month sentence. so he has 27 more months to serve in a federal prison. not that long ago, the sentence for impaired driving causing death was 2 years less a day... now the guideline is 2-5 years.... so hard to comprehend h...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Simon was the best coworker you could ask for. The best kind of friend you could be lucky enough to stumble upon. I'm not speaking for all of us,but i know that we all feel the same. we're all grieving. There's really not more I can say. except Thanks.

It was a really great post, and much of it applies to vans in general, not just on floats. Very useful information, and it affirms some of the things I have learned on my own by trial and error. Its good to know that others do things similarly. Thanks for taking the time and putting your thoughts an...

...but do the very very sneaky cops like feet?

I whole-heartedly agree on the Gin-mixtures, and the Caipirinhas. Strictly speaking from an experience point of view. Very tasty and they don't leave such a sugar-headache-hangover the girls so often get. Now if only they sold Cachaca in the north...

Skyhunter, how you could think we would be bored with your story is beyond me. I think after the first few posts, people got the uncomfortable emotion that goes along with sharing, out of the way, and are now eager to hear about each other. We get tidbits here and there of our careers, and some of u...

RG3 isn't the only one who is curious about how everyone ended up where they are!

ok, i'll bite. long afternoon til the 7pm flight. my father's retirement job was to work out at a fishing lodge doing the things he loved to do. In order for me to go visit him, i would have to travel by beaver, 206, or like my very first flight, a big ol' loud otter... i went to visit as often as i...
