One of our EAA members is alive today because Mooneys are fast.  He had a heart attack while the group was cleaning up a remote airstrip.  The decision was made to get back to the biggest hospital(with cardiac unit), not the closest rural one.  My husband said it was the longest 20 minutes of his life as he sat next his friend.  The ambulance was waiting and later the doctors said that 15 minutes later, our friend would have died.  Happily, he has cashiered at the last three pancake breakfasts since then, and is building a plane.  I like Mooneys.   :-*

I heard an analyst on NPR say that Hillary has a real challenge because historically voters do not elect the same party three terms in a row. 

However, I heard about this Texas caucus fraud in 2008, and have been following it.  Real people, Democrats, who were on scene at the time and were told to leave the building; when they came back, votes had been altered.  Their position is that without that interference, Hillary would have won Texas.

Will Pilot Spin prove that people can group up, discuss things, disagree, yet thrive?  Stay tuned!

At least the candidates called out the "moderators" for their antics.

Agreed. There has got to be another way to do this.

I heard on the radio this AM (haven't tried to confirm the story) that Carson's team was talking to Trump's team and a few others about taking these debates out of the RNC's hands and picking their own moderators and ground rules. That sounds like a good plan to me.
I think the RNC is the root of the problem.  They are getting further and further from getting down to the busines of what Republicans (and all people of this country) really want and need.

I'm waiting for PC to become non-PC.  It's gotta happen.

Some kids respond to analysis, others to force.  Also, do not underestimate the bizarre attachment young people have to their devices.  Combined with a natural desire to resist authority, plus what all else is going on their heads, it means that sometimes you have to get their attention in a big way.  Even delightfully compliant and pleasant moi had the cord applied to my behind in a very painful way at times.  Agreed that discipline is failing mightily on many fronts right now.  I say bring it back.

Your BMI doesn't have to meet any medical regimentation, but you should be vigilant about the levels of metabolites in your body, as an overage of one or more can be indicative of or even lead to disease.

Metabolites?  How does one go about being "vigilant" about them?
