MKB, I will repeat my previous post --

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul

Hey Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert I wonder which of you two is the fat one!?

I think she does a fine job on her human interest pieces. Of course I am sure the two of you could do a better job working up a story each week, but you would likely then get picked up by the NY Times or Denver Post and win a Newberry Award or the Pulitzer. This would likely result in fame and fortune and you would probably let the money and notoriety go to your head and ruin who you are. You would then alienate your friends, find new spouses half your age, be invited to the best parties, run with highfalutin crowds, - start binge drinking and popping pills. Then one day twenty years from now in a rented room on the outskirts of San Francisco you will find yourself on the wrong end of a 45 and you will look back at how good you had it when you were just a poor shmuck from Craig Colorado. Just before you cap yourself you will rue the day you ever posted your first article, curse the CDP forum and pass away into obscurity .

So the way I see it you have one of three choices. First, don’t try writing anything (including the CDP forum) and just stick with your current job flipping burgers. Second, start writing (because you really are that good) and end up as I predicted in my narrative above. Third and lastly (and this is my favorite), just skip all the writing and notoriety stuff and go right to the rented room and 45.

Soooooo, what ever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck. I am sure we will all be better off whatever choice you make

If you take a Bronco ticket and crinkle it up and then straighten it out and then crinkle it up and straighten it out over and over and over again, it will become a really soft piece of paper and you can use it to wipe your hind end with. Just make sure you use the back side of the ticket that isn't shiney. The shiney side is too slippery for good TP. That is the best use the ticket. Orrr sell it on ebay and use the proceeds to buy a pop. Either way you will get more out of it than going to the game with it.

I am going to have to sorta disagree.... A kid who truly loves the game is going to play inspite of a bad coach. All of us have had bad coaches in our life. It is amazing how the coach gets worse the better we think we are though. We all think our kid is the next Jordon, the next Sweetness, the next Tiger Woods. Saddly few of our children are ever going to be good enough even to play in college, let alone the pros. The best we can ever really hope for is that our kids learn to rise above adversity and learn what it take to become a champion, regardless of whether or not they have a trophy to prove it. That much being said, Yes, I believe Craig could probably use some new blodd, if for nothing else, to mix things up a bit. But it's easy to blame the coach when a kid doesn't have a lot of stick to it. It's great to see a kid stay with it even when the coach is poor. I know a kid who had to endure politics the likes of which few have ever seen. Going from almost being cut to leading his team and the leauge in scoring he had to do it in spite of his coach. This is just a small example of what this kid had to endure daily in basketball for three years. The coach's son and him got into a fight during practice the night before their last regular season game. The coach sidelined this kid for the first half of the last game as his punishment. HIs sone got to start however, because the coach was "disciplining his own son "at home." Just so happens that this kid and the coach's son were with in a couple points of each other as the two leading scorers on the team. So who was going to lead the team in scoring this year? By sidling this kid for the first half of the last game the coach figured his son would be the teams leading scorer for the season. When this kid came in at half-time he uncorked for 34 points in single half of boys highschool varsity basketball. This kid played for his team, his school, and himself. The coach was an idiot. HIs son was an idiot. This team and school had more politics and drama than you could begin to imagine, but this kid played anyways. He had little talent, few skills, and was by no means fit the typical mold of an athlete, but no one worked harder at the game of basketball. He went on to play three years of basketball in college and lead his league in scoring at that level. NOT because he was particular great at the game, but because he gave it 100% everytime he stepped on that court regardless of whether he had a coach tha matched his level of passion and understanding of the game.

Lets face it, it's easy to blame the coach. It's easy to blame your boss. It's always easy to blame the other guy. Teach your kids to excell in the face of poor leadership not blame it for their failures.

Uhh it's called F O O T B A L L. It's hard, painful, challenging, rough, and at times dangerous. If some kids quite that is life. We can't make the game easy just so a few more boys will play. Those that stick it out have a greater sense of accomplishment and brotherhood with the men that stuck it out with them. The challenge of any coach and any boy that goes out for football is to give it 100% so they can be the best they can be. No it isn't the pros, but if I am on the line, regardless of whether it is in a game of football or in the game of life, I want to know that the guy next to me or the one covering my hind end isn't a quiter and is willing to go the extra mile. Those boys who don't give a 100% during practice and the game are likely to get either themselves or someone else hurt. I am sorry that the camp wasn't a bed of roses. Football is a rough game, which is why most girls don't play it.

This sounds like a very interesting story and I would appreciate any more information that people might have on it. While a lot of pilots who farried aircraft from the manufacturing plant to the war front did take detours and did some sight seeing, most had a pretty clear destination and had to arrive by a certain time and could only vary slight out of their flight plan. But since air space was not monitored back then and pilots did not have to register their flight plans a lot of liberty was taken at times. The USAF wasn't founded though until after WWII and jet aircraft weren't being produced for the military for regular combat use until the late 40s and even then they were in limited number and very restricted as to who was allowed to fly them and to where. Back in the 40s and 50s, a pilot or soldier could hop a ride with an aircraft going in their direction, but they were not allowed to take an airplane home to visit family specifically.

I would think that by the 40s that the airfield in Craig was not a grass or a dirt strip, but likely had a compact cinder surface which would have held up well for most air craft of the day. I would like to know more of the story and the particulars surrounding it. If you hear anything or get more information please post it to the forum. .
