I'm up for a good DALPA bashing any day of the week but we finally got our DTW resolution to post FPL and you go bashing guys straight away. ***
Go easy on the military vs. union thing bus. Military personnel pay taxes also. And I'm for the DTW resolution and complete transparency.

I wasn't clear that I was saying that because I pay dues that I think the guy works for me, he doesn't, he volunteers for me, he's paid by someone else. He still volunteers. TT in DTW used to answer the phone all the time. I know he didn't get "paid" for the time that we "elected" him to "volunteer" for. Just don't think the term volunteer is that interchangeable when it suits people. I went too far trying to prove a point there with the taxes thing. Union volunteers also pay dues. I shouldn't let an angry deadzoner AF guy get my goat.

Wonder how T & Timbo's houses are today? Final round of the Arnold Palmer Open was suspended today due to severe thunderstorms. Peak gust of 86 mph recorded @ KMCO!

So now I'm an angry deadzoner who collected your tax money as pay while on active duty, huh? I have seen the abuse by people on FPL and don't agree with it, sorry.

Timbo is still probably riding them in his racing catamaran! All joking aside, that is some serious wind. Hope nothing got damaged

volunteer[ vol-uhn-teer]
noun
1. a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking.
2. a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.
3. a person who enters the service voluntarily rather than through conscription or draft, especially for special or temporary service rather than as a member of the regular or permanent army.

How do you post pics again? I have a good one.
DALPA= The girl who looks good, but doesn't put-out.

DPA= The girl who's not that good looking, and says she puts-out.
