   Kimo, A. S. C. Championships at Three Rivers, Michigan. The last show in this country to be free, supported by contributions only. Held on Labor Day Weekend. Everybody had a good time. Lots of powered parachutes and only a fair smattering of Ultralights. Signs of the times, people have been raped by admission prices at the major shows, so they just do not come anymore. So the Aero Sports Connection lost money for the first time since 1993. A sad note is the state of the industry. In my view, on Rock Bottom, but climbing out and can only get better.

 While I was away for the week at Kimo, my place was burglarized. Safe, TV, DVD, VCR, computers, passports, birth certificate, car titles, etc. The back door was removed to gain entry. The penalty of living life as trailer trash in a Latino area. My Mum always said one should live threescore years and ten. I am six years past that, on borrowed time. The B_ _ _ _ _ _!! Oh, yes, check your insurance policies. They do not offer you REPLACE­MENT VALUE. Extraordinary!!!!
