Okay, a real answer.

As one who enjoys keeping up on the soaring community, one thing I
gained from this posting was an association of many of the names I see
from
day to day to a place on the planet they are from.

Useful? Not very. Interesting? ymmv. Worthwhile? More than some of the

No, no, Andre. He's not Dutch, he's American. He's joking.

And they never do put US or USA in. It's like English postage stamps.
They don't say the country because they invented it. We're all their
guests really.

....and you forgot to say Netherlands. :)

As you can see - the Southern Hemisphere pilots are too busy flying to
post. Lots of 1000km flights done from Bitterwasser, Pokweni, Gariep
etc in Africa and in the various Australian sites. The forecast for
tomorrow at my home club is 4m/s thermals up to 16 000ft. Pretty poor
compared to the 7m/s to 20 000ft they are predicting for Gariep. I
managed to do my Distance Diamond on a blue day off a cable break on
Tuesday. Oh - I live in South Africa.

Who cares what you think about the PW5, the cost of tows, O2 refills,
reprofiling a wing, or contest scoring? Or where all these other folks
who love soaring are from?

The Republic of Texas was, and still is, a country.

And it still has its own navy!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Texas

People not from Texas think Texans to be full of themselves, but for
those of us who growed up there, and who have ancestors who fought in
its revolution in the first half of the 19th century, it is a unique
and wonderful American subculture.

OK RAS folks. If you are really interested in locations of members. Why
not someone, but only one, set up a group name, such as
recaviationsoaring on this site:

http://www.frappr.com/

Then let everyone know here and we all can then pinpoint our locations!
In another aircraft group I belong to we do just that. It's nice in
that we can post pics of our planes and faces. And its free.

Ok Dave. The 'truth' is, I'm from Red Neck Land.
I am a Red Neck. The name, 'Lovinggood' is pure Red
Neck. Don't believe I'm a red neck? Have you seen
my glider trailer? It ain't no stinkin' Cobra. More
like an intestinal tape worm.

Oh come on Ray, your trailer is fantastic! Redneck chic at its best!
The visual play between the corrugated roofing tin and the smoothness of
the red bondo (well. it will be smooth whenever you get around to
sanding it) is very aesthetically satisfying. Tying all your buckets
and other miscellaneous stuff on the outside of the trailer, leaving
plenty of room for a larger beer cooler inside, was brilliant. And I
thought using split tin washtubs for fenders was a stroke of genius!

Alaska, where you can't drive your car between some of the towns
without putting it on a boat or a train... I'll bet you guys are really
enjoying the flying weather up there about now... haha... Alaska -
big... yes - useful... no - I'm moving out of Texas, and it's killing
me! Well, maybe not. Clovis NM is only about 10 miles out, so I guess I
can stand it. I think one of my employees put it better than I've ever
heard it. He said thet he's glad to be where the natives are proud of
their homeland and heritage, and that you don't get too much of that
anywhere else... I've found that to be true. I've also found that
others just don't get it. Rave on Alaska... most Alaskans are from the
"lower 48" anyway.

I've seen this alleged trailer, and you really shouldn't insult the
tapeworm like that!

Is there a picture somewhere (of the trailer, of course; I know what a
tapeworm looks like)?

Eric, et al.

That's not my LS1-d in the photos, but an LS1-c. That
glider looks nicer than mine.

Trailer built by John Byrd, according to an entry in
the glider's logbook.

Trailer would look a lot nicer if the owner (me) would
paint it. But on days that are suitable for working
on stripping paint and painting (all to be done outdoors
at the airport because I don't have a garage), those
same suitable days are good enough for flying. Screw
the painting of the trailer, LET'S GO FLY!

The trailer serves its intended purpose, even if it
looks a wee bit funky.

He made the internet more user friendly and that's great, but it was
more evolutionary than revolutionary.
ARPANET was the real leap, and definitely made in the USA:

....but USENET, where you are now, is much older than the Web. I don't
know who invented it or where.

Oh yeah, In in the UK: Essex.

.... but the first packet switched network was up and running at the
National Physical Laboratory (NPL), located at Teddington outside
London. The idea was then explained to the ARPANET guys at a conference.
That was the first they knew about it. The discussion was the basis of
TCP/IP.

Ray,

I'm sort of the other way 'round. NC was my home for quite awhile, but
now I'm in SC. (born in GA, Flannery O'Conner has my favorite GA quote)

That's one ugly ass trailer... keep flying. You and I are going to
cross paths sooner or later. I'm looking forward to it,

Does that trailer load over the tongue? If so, you have my
sympathies... Depending on some other stuff, I may have a better one
for sale, soon... You NEED it... haha!

we weren't supposed to let them realise that the

How 'bout two years of Lennie vs. Al
Well that did result in Gliderforum, so I guess it did have some benefit.
