I have a soft spot for Lakeland. Years ago, when my stepson was living in Davenport and working at Epcot, I was helping them by hanging a ceiling fan in their cathedral ceiling bedroom. I had to have a part made. Naturally, I looked in the met Orlando area. Nada. Disney, at the time, did their...

I laughed aloud at his wording to avoid saying the word "bankrupt." "I had to 'Put it into a chapter'" :}

I have a shop full of bikes I need to donate, mostly of early 90's vintage. I have a candy apple red Cinelli, full Campy, I'll cry to give away. When they replaced my right hip, they left my legs too short to fork it. The surgery ran way long and they came out and apologized to my wife and said...

That's what I had trouble understanding in the midst of it. Around here, as you know, the masks barely reached 50%, if that. Nobody was making anyone wear them. I'll admit, I had a hard time taking the 6' seriously. There was no way that modest a distance was going to help. I guess it just...

And then blow all the missiles and ammo on a hopeless cause...

I've read it's common in the north Maine woods, just as it was earlier on the frontier in the whole country. I really didn't think anything about it, until I started seeing it as if it were news...

They vary wildly. They are all built to spec in China. The biggest, I guess it still is, is "Lectric," brand. That's what I have. I got it before I had my left hip replaced for ease of mount/dismount. I'd either buy theirs or one of the big names who've taken on e-bikes as a sideline. There are...

I searched back and I read it 11 years ago. I don't have Selma's memory... :)

Thanks for the reminder. I've been reading too much on one topic... :)

The "stolen land" concept gets even muddier, when you realize Native Americans didn't define "ownership" in the manner Europeans did and frequently had no framework to understand what they'd supposedly agreed to...

Some years ago, I read the story of an Army flier, chopper pilot, I think, who was the sole survivor of a crash, was badly wounded and picked up by one of the mountain tribes. They did what they could for him and then went into confab. After while, he realized they were deciding what to do with...

There are many quotes from the plains tribes' members who visited cities, not even large ones, places like St. Louis at the time. "As numerous as the blades of grass on the prairie" is one which sticks with me. They understood the problem. Of course, by then, many Indian nations had been...

The question now is whether or not we can prevent it, other than nuking them first...

That and the context of the conflict matters also. I see a vast difference between WWII vs the SS and Afghanistan...

I grew up Methodist. We were taught God expects action...

They'll turn off their oxygen, so they can smoke more safely...

I guess all have heard there's been another breakout and hacking episode by another of the leading AI models...

I had the same thought. The last time I ate it was in college, after selling blood. (It was $30 per unit, $356 in today's dollars, so don't judge me. That was half of what my monthly poker earnings were.) You're eating another being's detritus, plus maybe or maybe not deactivated enzymes, some...

It's called "the scientific method." Early, they concentrated on fomite transmission, because of the flu analogy. That was very logical at that point. Then, when the fragility of the virus on most surfaces became obvious, they dropped it. As always, the chorus from the right was "You lied!!" Idiocy!
