I am finishing my 30th year doing photo work for sports. I won't stop, but am writing more.

I was born at Clark Air Force Base in the Phillippines, where my Father was stationed. After hops around the US we stayed in Albrook AFB, (Canal Zone - Panama) for 4 years. During that time I was a Boy Scout. Camping in the jungles and at Camp Chagres have been the most amazing points in my life.

For those of you who like a good read, I recommend "The Path Between the Seas" by David McCullough. It's a book that will amaze you.

In my own duty I worked in USAF Weather in the US, 6th Weather Squadron in Tinker AFB Oklahoma, then 3 years attached to Army Av Units in Illesheim, Germany.

Sky-Diving was a passion of mine for some time. Over 500 jumps, many hop and pops because I taught many people how to experience the ultimate thrill ride in life....space flight excluded.

My biggest regret in life is that while I was young I did not take education seriously. I am a voracious reader with a stack of "have read" that is equal to the stack of "to read." As I write this my current book is "The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant. It's a copy that was printed in 1927; I love old hardcover books and have many.

I believe that our government has lost its constitutional foundation. From its mismanagement of Social Security to its will to build monuments honoring itself, our government is wasting more money than Enron could dream of, and with less accountibility.

What makes things worse is that its officers are overpaid and overcompensated for their (mis)management.

I can understand why people don't like the republicans. But, for those same people to believe that the Democrats are the answer is risible.
A substantial argument can be made that the Democrats are the most corrupt party in the history of the United States. Their impeached, perjuring president, with his notable gassing of innocent children at Waco, gives them a slight advantage over today's republicans, who sat and watched, then did nothing.

If I believe we need better elected members of congress, does that make me a nutcase?

The biggest problem in the US isn't lying politicians. It's voters who lie to themselves.
