    SHHHHHHHHH! You'll wake up Greta "How Dare You" Thunberg!

    People who live in Hurricane areas?

    Yes, our local ABC affiliate is notorious for doing the "we're all gonna die" stuff for even summer thunderstorms. Urging caution is one thing...inciting panic is another. One reporter laid on his back with a cameraman over him during a minimal tropical storm some time back and it significantly...

    The Fall Guy

    Actually, they were married at the time of the show...I think all of us know how that turned out in short order. Farrah is mentioned in the show several times over the series run...most notably in the theme song of every episode.

    Overseas and Military Balloting

    When I was in, it was snail mail absentee balloting as usual. We were encouraged to vote. One senior NCO in another company used to tell his men NOT to vote saying "You're here to protect democracy not practice it." If the chain of command had heard him say that, well.........

    A case of mistaken identity

    When someone comes up with a real working definition for "mature", please let me know. I'm sixty and haven't seen one, yet.

    So how safe are all our school-goers with cell phones?

    ANYTHING can be used as a weapon.... The most dangerous weapon of all is human intellegence which can come up with these kinds of things. Remember "The Anarchist Cookbook"? Just like anything that is electronic and puts out a signal can be monitored.

    Ford applied for a patent to listen in and target ads in your car

    Your computer has been monitoring you since day one. This includes firearms forums... ESPECIALLY firearms forums.

    Big Lots bites the dust

    The chain has always had problems. It started as MacFrugal's...then became something else before it was Big Lots. USED to be...at least around here...like a dollar store on steriods only without the dollar store price. They'll be sold to someone else...probably change the name again....and...

    School issues

    Rob613, I must respectfully disagree. Having dealt with juvenile bullies in the past on a professional level, I have found in 99% (yes, 99% in my book) of those bullies had parents that were just like them (or worse) and often encouraged the kids' behavior.

    School issues

    Everyone has been a victim of bullying or has been a bully in some form at one time or another in their lives. Yes, there was a time when it was dealt with mano-y-mano. These days are gone. Bullies travel in packs like wolves...there is no such thing as a fair fight or as my dad used to say...

    Here's one for the cheese lovers

    Casu Marzu: Banned in most of the world. Nothing like a little "live rice" with your rotten cheese! Or you can be brave and try Durian...at work!

    Navy Commander Relieved of Duty

    "Loss of confidence" is a vague and generic term just like getting canned for "violation of policy" even when there was no policy involved. While there may be more to the story (and probably is) I can't help but wonder if it is my imagination or if there is a lot more officers and senior...

    Space Flight.

    I didn't want to hijack the other threads on the two astronauts stuck on the ISS but I did want to submit something for all of you to think about. Fact is we are GENERATIONS away from ANY serious space exploration. There is no Enterprise...no Orville...no Discovery. Only very small and very...

    NASA won't allow the Boeing capsule to return with passengers

    No. I can't Too many from many nations have lost their lives due to the quirks of space flight. This shows one of the problems with space flight...no lifeboats...no plans to rescue...no way to rescue.

    You can't go home!

    Went to one once. Will never go to another. I had reached a point in my life where I had nothing in common with the vast majority of them despite knowing many for most of my childhood years. I was no longer the person they knew nor where they the people I knew.

    DeLorean Returns??

    Prior to relocating to San Antonio, DMC had a facility in Humble, TX not too far from me. I saw several Deloreans there but never much activity. There were never a whole lot of Deloreans made to begin with and most reports of the original were nothing to write in your journal about. At this...

    Polls are about figures. Remember this about figures: "Figures never lie, but liars always figure."
