    You know you are getting old when:

    The November terror group hit a restaurant in Athens, which our gang just missed. Not a very pretty sight with casualties strewn like dolls and non recognizable human remains, pieces scattered. An earlier dawn coup d'etat laid down by Hellenic F-4s gifted a concussion. A soldier's life....:confused:

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The Imperial Japanese Navy consumed gasoline; aviation fuel; and oil at such daily rate that this ration could not be sustained beyond spring 1942 thus necessitating a Dutch East Indies grab, which demanded the American fleet anchorage Pearl Harbor and Subic Bay be struck first. The poker faced...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^Worf: If you haven't seen Ambush Bay, check it. A Second World War Marine Raider PBY insertion Philippines, team destroyed save but one; dialogue and certain cast remind my old outfit. Well worth time and effort.

    Airport Security - Fishtail Trousers Rear Buckle

    I drove a Jaguar for years but never looked under the hood. And I prefer Central American ground bean imported by my local favorite in town. o_O;):)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    When I was in grad school a NATO public relations team visited campus for a 'show the flag' panel discussion. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization team was headed by a Royal Air Force Group Captain, and included three naval officers from West Germany, Italy, and the United States. The RAF...

    Anyone else interested in the ancient world?

    I doubt that the Menorah ever reached Rome; nevertheless all fables posesses a smidgen of truth, and riverine deceptive diver engineering schrewedness sows cause to suspect some truth therein. More fascinating is the lost Ark of The Covenant odyssey which a decade ago swore Keyna locus, Israeli...

    Airport Security - Fishtail Trousers Rear Buckle

    I favor Peruvian; Costa Rican; and coffee harvested in Jallisco, Mexico. Ask around town for available sample bags and enjoy. Please explain peaberry. Sounds like a Campbell's soup. ------ Bye-the-bye, I once minded my kid sister's boys, confiscated a Playboy off one of my nephews. The following...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Ms Ingalls took the stand in her own cause due to a tenuous ridiculous defense, opening herself to prosecutorial cross when she only need have admitted agency and listed payment for services contracted within foreign agreement. That she obviously failed these nominal chores she also failed to...

    Bourbon Discussion Thread

    Seems you favor Bulleit's limetone quarry content. While egg coffee adds a certain polish to joe, I found Bulleit a bourbon with a distinctive taste, which occasionally would be fine, but not a game changer.

    Today in History

    Like Northwind earlier, tactics considered against strategy and ultimate defeat play a weak hand. Dresden clearly evidenced Allied vindictiveness.

    Interesting how our lives are writ like chapters with geographic landmark witness time's passage.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    A bit off-track but WBBM news here in Chicago where the World's Greatest Newspaper is, ran a televised feature on famed Japanese broadcaster Tokyo Rose; whom may have been a native born American caught in Japan at the onset. She later returned and lived quietly in Chicago. Good for her.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Interesting note to Ms Olderman's slaying her friend Bost, a French national. A quick scan only but apparently the deceased was stabbed in the chest, a knife and scissors found cleaned? and put away in a drawer. Indicative of considered thought prior to her reporting said incident to landlord...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Anton Myrer so captured the moment. His paean to youth held a number of poignant moments but a particular post war campus comment took hold when he remarked lost souls who gained Harvard College admission but found themselves excluded from elite eating club fraternities and like distanced kept...

    Explain the 3-Sphere to me.

    Einstein lived in the last century and his E=MC2 equation while correctly succinct was derived at a time when bomb loads released over enemy target eluded definitive velocity Calculus application derivative answer. Supersonic speed achieved by mass relative to altitude irrespective of weight per...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Alexader Woollcott might have been good company around a luncheon table but has a house guest his caustic 'snipwit' personality would have showed his exit.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Irish immigrants settled into my Chicago south side neighborhood often remarked that 'the Troubles' were there but not such a constant so as to overwhelm sense and sensibility but economics forced many to seek life elsewhere.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^Borgnine won an Oscar for Marty, and kudos to the paddock for hack, but the right script demands the right cast to really nail all that poetic prose down to dactylic iambic sidewalk realism. Streets above most Hollywood as the British often call a decent show with a wistful nod to seemingly...
