would we invite Josh, so there could be a full fledged Team media?

It really depends on Eric; he’s taking the classes in Hillsboro, OR, so hopefully he’ll stay up there. Sadly, this ENTIRE idea is riding on Eric.

Hey, maybe you can come work with us….again, all assuming Eric finishes.

What?! ET with a pilot’s license?

That should not be allowed, ever.

Cool idea on teaching aerial photography. What city would you do it in?

Speaking of helicopters, Eric (ET) is getting his helicopter pilot’s license. Then I think we are starting a business in which I am going offer classes for aerial photography.

But just the thought of ET with a pilot’s license is a scary thought.

Oh yeah. He belongs in an old school terrible science fiction movie.

I love it.

Yes, I knew that Trooper Buddy (or whatever the robot’s name is) exists, because my mother is a retired DPS officer. One of her past duties was to educate elementary school students about safety and things and she and her partner used the above-pictured robot in their presentation.

It was every bit as kitschy as you can imagine.

(Fortunately, she wasn’t fond of that gig and moved on to bigger and better things like Special Crimes, where she busted sex offenders, illegal gambling rings, and drug dealers. Good times.)
