Politics Without Paragliding
Since my towing flight a few weeks ago where I did a couple stalls and such, I haven’t flown. The weather put a bit of a monkey wrench into my plans a couple times, and when it was flyable, it seemed I had things to do. I definitely could have made a bigger effort, but I didn’t, am now regretting it a bit.
Although not paragliding-related, the media almost made me hurl with the amount of coverage they gave to the US election, and now that it’s over, our southern neighbour's relentless infatuation with Obama still makes me nauseous. White or black, the President is a politician, politician’s lie, and Americans are fooled if they think any man can instantly fix the mess they have created for themselves. Americans: You’ve chosen your leader, we all know you’re proud, but he is not a wizard and your problems won't magically dissapear; stop patting yourselves on the back, thinking that you've found your new messiah...
Back to flying: Not much to say, other than it’s always at the back of my mind. I haven’t groundhandled, haven’t read too much about it lately, and have actually had mostly non-paragliding related conversations with people, which is a bit unusual. A flying trip is not currently on the books, but hey, life is rather dull right now and I do like to create my own adventures...

Hey V, tell it like it is girl! Those yanks have a certain mess to fix, and they'll be cleaning up for the next 2 administrations, at least.
If you feel like some winter hiking at Prairie, let's pick a date and do some forecasting. Cool site.
OH.MY.GOD.
I can't believe anyone as interrigent as Ms Dubak would doubt that under our new leader we shan't instantly grow thinner, more cleverer and even more financially assem. YES WE CAN! He will be the key to all of our problems, as soon as someone cures him of his Muslimness.
