Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.

Kamala Harris and democrats are getting more desperate. They don’t care about the founding fathers’ vision for why DC was not to be a state.
They are interested in doing whatever they can to get power, even if it’s to talk all over the system our founding fathers designed.
Her dying wish was to see Keith Urban perform one last time. But her health prevented her from getting to the concert. So Keith Urban came to her... This melts my heart 🥹❤️

@10fold10@RocksStocks365@market_sleuth This take is majoring in minors. The “Sabbath” in Hebrew means “rest,” not seventh day, which was ordained by Jewish traditions. To say that Seventh Day Adventists are worshipping God on Saturday, and all other church goers are worshipping Baal is ludicrous. Relationship>religion

@Wintergrace2310 @EW Fox is a cable news outlet. The view is on public airwaves which is a finite resource. FCC’s focus is balanced programming politically speaking on public stations that do not require a cable/subscription service.
This is why you need a mom and a dad. Otherwise, in a lot of cases, It’s either all coddling or all discipline. What she needs is a hug from her daddy to exemplify what love and compassion look like so that those little boys were pale in comparison. She needs love and discipline otherwise you’re the Warden and she’s the prisoner. Be her dad, and you’ll never have to be her Warden.
