Serious question: why has the use of Microsoft Word persisted in the legal profession? For an industry that generates troves of formal documents on simulated paper, with dozens of very specific references, footnotes, cross-references, etc., it seems that LaTeX/BibTeX would be the standard.

Even in a full auto, you can trade a bit of airspeed to (briefly) reduce rate of descent, which is how you flare at the bottom to cushion the landing. But it's a delicate balance! Figuring out the optimum flare altitude and airspeed in the OH-58C was a fun exercise at test pilot school.

In case anyone was wondering this is how the USCG professionally disables narco smuggling vessels without loss of life. Or at least used to.
That was just a wholesale murder in international waters.

I walked past Jim Lovell's name every day of the most difficult, trying, and exhilarating 11 months of my life. Each name on every plaque was an inspiration, but Jim's especially reminded me of perseverance and determination.
Blue skies and tailwinds Captain James Lovell, and thank you.

When I moved to rural Tennessee (from Maryland) as a teenager, I had to explain to the Baptists that "god damn it" was not taking the lord's name in vain. It's a prayer. It is asking god to damn something. I didn't have very many friends.

AL-05's Dale Strong isn't eager to hold a town hall. Maybe you can talk with us instead. Huntsville is historically deep red, but home to lots of distressed Federal workers!
