Done. That sure makes it easy! You will find my 1 Buck contribution in
your PayPal account. You may have to book this as a contribution from a "foreign country" as I don't even live in California. (Although I did live in Santa Cruz for 10 years, many many moons ago.)

P.S.: I really do think you could get PayPal to promote donations for you,
as this is certainly a novel use of PayPal. "Jim Weir" wrote in message ...

A guy at work said that she was advocating taxing breast implants.
"What!", says I, "she can't do that. That would be double taxation."

Interesting you should mention Hiram Johnson, our first and last Progressive
governor. One, his son was a member of my college fraternity at the time. College Mixers were prominently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle during that period. Second, it was during his administration that the whole proposition/recall experiment in Direct Democracy was started. That brought us Prop 13, and Larry Flynt for governor. Hiram Johnson broke the power of the mining and, in particular, the railroad interests, that dominated the state at the time in a manner un-imaginable today (read Frank Norris "The Octopus" to get an idea of what it was like...) but even as a left-of-liberal small d democrat, I think both the propositions and the recall have gotten out of hand. Hmmm, how am I going to get back on topic (this is RAH afterall) from here...... -- Ryan "Octave Chanute was building gliders down in San Diego while Johnson was Governor" Young Oakland, CA http://users.lmi.net/~ryoung From: Jim Weir Hiram Johnson was just such a governor of California, back in the 19teens. He was such a dark horse that when the press came to the door to wake him up the next day and told him he had won, his first words were immortalized: "My God, what do I do now?" Jim - - You could put the Mt. Hale telescope INSIDE the Mt. Palomar telescope - and STILL not see my chances for winning. - -Yeah, but go back and re-read "The Mouse That Roared". Then realize that -you just *might* win, and be afraid... be very afraid. |

A prior poster said that Octave Chanute was flying gliders in San Diego when Hiram Johnson was governor. I believe that the gliderguider in San Diego was John J. Montgomery, after whom Montgomery Field in San Diego on Kearny Mesa was named. Chanute's bio says nothing about being in SD. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

Jim
Landing in the Rose Bowl was just a thought out of the box. You need something like that (outrageous) so that the media will pick up and get your name recognized across the whole of CA. Of course if you had an 'emergency' and had to land there you might beat the FAA rap G Land, pull a plug and put in a shorted plug for the FAA to find. Think out of the box. Gett'm tiger.

From the EAA Fridaygram...
EAA MEMBER THROWS HAT IN CALIFORNIA RING We received word this week that Jim Weir, a longtime EAA member and AirVenture forums presenter, is among the 130-plus candidates who will appear on the ballot for governor of California in the recall election this fall. Jim admits that he is quite a long shot in the race, which has been dominated by high-profile personalities thus far. He does add, though, that his candidacy gives at least one option for voters who support general aviation in California. -- Cy Galley Editor, EAA Safety Programs or wrote in message ...
