wait a second...hold the phone. if a gri-gri is a bad idea for belaying a leader, and it looks like a pain-in-the-arse for rapping - is their only strength belaying a follower?
shooting down a jumbo jet that is flying too low over NYC is not a funny joke either. But had they seen it coming and done it - a lot of lives would have been saved. (point: talking about things that may look like a bad idea - may not exactly be a bad idea...in hind sight)
i agree it isn't a funny joke, nor is it good diplomacy - i don't think it is newsworthy tho. IMO
while waiting to close on my new place downtown - was going from mill creek to tukwilla record time was >2 hours, typically only 1.5 hours tho (each way).
i'm back downtown now
