Navy Chief Saves Marine Corps Gunnery Sargeant In Horse-Back Riding Mishap

Subject: FW: Navy Chief Saves Marine Corps Gunnery Sargeant In Horse-Back Riding Mishap

Navy Chief saves Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant in Horse-Back Riding Mishap AP Wire - Pensacola, Florida, 24 June 2008

At Pensacola, FL. A U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant assigned to the Naval Air Training Command narrowly escaped serious injury recently when he attempted horseback riding with no prior experience. After mounting his horse unassisted, the horse immediately began moving. As it galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, Gunnery Sergeant Cosgrove began to slip sideways from the saddle.

Although attempting to grab for the horse's mane, Cosgrove could not get a firm grip. He then threw his arms around the horse's neck but continued to slide down the side of the horse. The horse galloped along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider.

Finally, losing his grip, the Gunney attempted to leap away from the horse and throw himself to safety. His foot, however, became entangled in the stirrup, leaving him at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as his head and upper body repeatedly struck the ground.

Moments away from unconsciousness, and probable death, to his great fortune a U.S. Navy Chief, shopping at Wal-Mart, saw him and quickly unplugged the horse!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
