RJ, I thought you've been to the Friday night market in Monrovia?
OK, I see you're not biting - it was the every day market in Samarkand*,
hence, all the terrorist looking types. Oh, but the watermelons there...
*It's just up the road a piece from the Pamirs.

Rick now lives in N. Tahoe and is probably raking pine needles into plastic bags.
Life moves on.

Rick's an easy-going guy away from the stress of filming, as you can tell.
He's chock full of stories, too.
Here is another video, comparing the top James Bond stunts. Rick wins, even though he packed his chute incorrectly.

I never saw the original Bond movie so I really appreciated seeing the big jump and the interview this time around.

I learned the hard way not to trust the guy, and have heard a number of similar stories.
A shame to my people.

Yeah, the one people shouldn't trust is the one whose nickname, and rightfully so, is "Offensky".

Thanks so much. And I was just going to write that I loved your post about the Squaw Village surveillance cameras. Obviously you know what's going on in Squaw.

No way that guy that hurled himself off Asgard could be the same completely rational person I remember doing a marathon every week somewhere on foot or skis!
