Will and Mary Part 2

Waar ben je geplant?
In de natuur is de plaats waar je geplant bent erg belangrijk. 
Het bepaalt wanneer je zonlicht zult ontvangen en voor hoeveel uur. Het bepaalt ook hoeveel beschutting je van de elementen zoals de wind en de regen hebt. Je plek bepaalt ook hoeveel ruimte je hebt om te groeien en of jouw type plant zijn volledige potentie kan bereiken. 

In het leven is het daarom belangrijk dat we uitzoeken waar we zijn geplant en wat voor soort plant wij zijn. Zo zal het makkelijker voor je worden om jouw eigen verwachtingen te managen en rekening te houden met je eigen specifieke behoeftes. 

Where are you planted?
In nature the place where you are planted is very important.
It determines when you will receive sunlight and for how many hours. It also determines how much shelter you have from the elements like the wind and the rain. Your spot also determines how much room you have to grow and whether your type of plant can reach its full potential.

In life it is therefore very important that you find out where you are planted and what kind of plant you are. This way it will be easier to manage your expectations and cater to your own specific needs.

Talking about Your Schedule and Future Plans in Chinese!

Richard Floyd McCoy, arrested six months after the DB Cooper hijacking, displayed striking similarities in his own hijacking, demanding $500,000 and parachutes in a manner reminiscent of Cooper. However, McCoy's escape was short-lived as the FBI found him with cash and parachutes, leading to a 45-year prison sentence. Some believe McCoy and Cooper may be the same person. Sheridan Peterson, a Boeing employee and skilled skydiver, drew suspicion due to a physical resemblance and remained a suspect until his death in 2021. Eric Ulis, an amateur sleuth, was 98% convinced of Peterson's involvement. Another suspect, Robert Rackstraw, an army veteran and helicopter pilot, became a late '70s suspect but never explicitly denied being Cooper. However, Rackstraw's age in 1971 contradicts the reported age of Cooper at the time.
