Non-Typical Solutions

Major Dan Rooney Returning home from his second tour of duty in Iraq, Major Dan Rooney, an F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, became painfully aware of the reality families face when a loved one in uniform is killed or wounded. As his flight landed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board, asking all passengers to respectfully remain seated while his casket deboarded. Major Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob. Major Rooney ached as he thought of his own wife and little girls. Seeing the other side of war through the eyes of Jacob, was life-altering. Sadly, over half the passengers had disregarded the pilot’s request and deboarded. Major Rooney decided he had to do something. Not only would he pay tribute to American soldiers and their families, he would live as a reminder among civilians that it is our duty to honor the sacrifices of those who preserve the freedoms we so easily take for granted. Major Rooney committed to spend his life changing the future of America’s grieving spouses and children. In 2007, he formed the Folds of Honor Foundation; a 501C-3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities to the families of these heroic Americans. When Major Dan Rooney was asked about his approach to raising his own children he said: Every morning I ask my children what day is it! “The best day of my life!” Why? “Because it is the only one I’ve got!” Second question! Which way does an airplane take off? Into the wind! Preparing for the resistance in life that is there for a reason. It is required for our dreams to take flight. Life is never going to be easy so embrace those head winds because it is Gods way to lift you up! Major Dan Rooney Fighter Pilot

I too saw Maj Rooney's interview this morning. What an inspirational man, he had me looking into his charity with "High speed, Low drag." His interview is what I caught this morning too....I had to find the story and print it up to send to my son so I figured it was worth repeating on CWT. I liked his "High spee, Low drag" as well. It is hard to figure how a group of people on an airplane counldn't take the time to be respectful to one and his family for their sacrifice, it shoulda been dead silent on that plane!!!

Very enjoyable read.....Woodruff....how many people you know born in Woodruff?? Great area and great people!!! Congrats on a memorable hunt!!

I remember this song from the days of listening to the record stereo with my dad....Jim Reeves. Somehow this song means way more to me now as an adult than it did as a kid. Who hasn't had a dog that wasn't always right by their side??

One of the few things to do in nowhere New Mexico, pretty popular and the farmers didn't mind cause it was the rabbits eating the cotton........not just a couple.....hundreds. We have the eyes of a for sure jack in the light, probably 300 yards out.....one shot.....dust flies up.......eyes still sitting there.....another shot flies......dust clears.....eyes still sitting there......multiple attempts at this bugger with still the same results, Drive up closer.......shots fired again........finally one of the kids jumps out of the truck to run up to the stubborn rabbit only to find out it was a tarantula!!! Crazy story for sure!!!

Probably was a cow cow.......that might match up the description at least!!!

Duh girl.....legal and voting.......look it up!!! http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2016/11/09/phoenix-high-school-students-walkout-protest-donald-trump-president/93557382/

Here is the quicklist and then the article: Bryan Cranston Samuel L. Jackson Lena Dunham Neve Campbell Cher Miley Cyrus Barbara Streisand Natasha Lyonne Ne-Yo Comedian Amy Schumer Chelsea Handler Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart Whoopi Goldberg Keegan-Michael Key Hispanic comedian George Lopez Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Al Sharpton Actors Bryan Cranston said he hopes he doesn’t have to pack his bags, but would “definitely move” if Trump won. “Absolutely, I would definitely move,” the “Breaking Bad” star said on “The Bestseller Experiment” podcast. “It’s not real to me that that would happen. I hope to God it won’t.” Samuel L. Jackson slammed Trump for running a “hate”-filled campaign and said he would move to South Africa if he wins. “If that motherf---er becomes president, I’m moving my black butt to South Africa,” the movie star quipped to Jimmy Kimmel. Lena Dunham told Andy Cohen at the Matrix Awards that “I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver.” The star and creator of HBO’s “Girls” has been a vocal advocate for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. Neve Campbell, an actress on the political drama “House of Cards,” vowed to move back home to Canada, while “Orange is the New Black” actress Natasha Lyonne said she would hightail it to a mental hospital. Singers Cher tweeted this summer that if Trump gets elected, “I’m moving to Jupiter.” Miley Cyrus wrote in an emotional Instagram post in March that tears were running down her cheek and she was unbelievably scared and sad. “I am moving if he is president,” the young pop star said. “I don’t say things I don’t mean!” Barbara Streisand, a vocal Clinton supporter, told “60 Minutes” that “I’m either coming to your country if you’ll let me in, or Canada.” Ne-Yo told TMZ last month that he’d move to Canada and be neighbors with fellow R&B singer Drake if the country elected Trump. Comedians Comedian Amy Schumer said in September that Spain would be her destination of choice. “My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish,” Schumer said in an appearance on the BBC’s “Newsnight.” “Because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s just too crazy.” Chelsea Handler said she already made contingency plans months ago. “I did buy a house in another country just in case,” the comedian and talk show host said during an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Michael” in May. “So all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t — I actually will leave that country.” Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart said he would consider “getting in a rocket and going to another planet, because clearly this planet’s gone bonkers” if the real estate mogul wins. Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of the “The View”, said on an episode of the talk show earlier this year that if the country elects Trump, “maybe it’s time for me to move, you know. I can afford to go.” Keegan-Michael Key said he would flee north to Canada. “It’s like, 10 minutes from Detroit,” the comedian told TMZ in January. “That’s where I’m from; my mom lives there. It’d make her happy too.” Hispanic comedian George Lopez said Trump “won’t have to worry about immigration” if he takes the White House because “we’ll all go back.” Political Figures Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joked in an interview with The New York Times in July that it’d be time to move to New Zealand if Trump were to win. “Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,” she said quoting her husband who died in 2010. “I can’t imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.” Ginsburg later apologized for her comments, calling them “ill-advised.” Civil rights activist Al Sharpton told a reporter earlier this year that he’s “reserving my ticket out of here if [Trump] wins.”

You really didn't think I could stick to the don't blow it up rule did you??? Cool picture!!!

We got caught in that same snowball......absolutely enjoyed watching the look on the faces of the Hillarites!

Amen to that!!!! At least half this country has a brain stem!!!
