    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Titanic's Fatal Fire. Almost didn't watch, but sure am glad I did. Turns out she was on fire for weeks before she sailed! Very interesting!

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Emma Martina Luigia Morano 29 November 1899 – 15 April 2017. She was the last person documented to have been born in the 19th century. Hard to believe, when I was a kid, I was surrounded by people born in the 1800s, Grandparents, neighbors, friends of the family, now they are all gone.

    9mm or 45cal

    Actually, there is quite a scandal in the news right now, over a couple writing a book about hiring a high school classmate 30 years ago to kill the woman's father. His weapon, a .22 pistol. .22 pistol was also the preferred weapon of the Mussad!

    Old gas stations

    I am leaning more towards an AC Ace. The doors look more rounded then on an MGA. I can't see a powered by Ford emblem on the fender, so that rules out any early Shelby AC Cobra's!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sun Records. It is really sad that Dewey Phillips didn't get his dues! He was every bit as impotent as Alan Freed, plus, he was never implicated in the whole payola scandal. Sad that he died so young from drugs and alcohol, little question that he was suffering from PTSD!

    Stars And Their Cars

    Carroll Shelby, Jim "Chaparral" Hall and Gary Laughlin asked Chevrolet for three 1959 Corvette chassis sans bodies, stop me if you've heard this one! As you all know, the top Chevy brass said "sure why not." The three Texans in turn sent them to Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Maranello, Italy, the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Lizzie would have liked this one! YANKS FIGHT THE KAISER: A NATIONAL GUARD DIVISION IN WWI. About the first American division to fight in WWI, the New England National Guard units. The reason they were first was, they disobeyed orders to go down south for training. Instead, the well connected...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I wan't around for this, but even the latter show, and Captain Kangaroo, makes me wince at how easily we were amused!

    I am really jealous! How I would love to have a Grand Staircase. I think the first owners of my Queen Anne, spent all their money on the outside, then stuffed the little winding staircase in as a last resort!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    NAZI Mega Weapons: Hitler's Island Megafortress. Another place where Hitler helped the Allies by squandering millions of Reichsmarks on a useless bunch of islands! On August 12, 1944, HMS Rodney crept in, undetected and lobbed 75 16" shells at Batterie Bluecher, Alderney, then sailed off unscathed.

    At least it passed inspection today! Called the electrician, he first blamed the last electrician, then he blamed me, I told him, he should have done it right and hung up!

    Show us your vintage home!

    Got the power back on finally! When the guy from the city hooked the guy wire to the mast, he noticed it was pulling away from the house taking the siding with it! The electrician had already left, turns out he used way to small of lagbolts, with a fine thread. So I had to run to the other side...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When you call in a professional to do some work, and you have to partly redo his work after he leaves! Had an electrician fix the electrical mast for my house after the tree limb broke it off. When the city guy came out to reconnect the power, he saw that the mast was coming loose and taking...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I am shocked also! I thought WWI fighter pilots sat around French Cafes listing to Jazz in 1915. I wish I knew enough to ask questions like this when my friend Reggie Sinclaire of the Lafayette Flying Corps was still alive!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Leonardo da Vinci: The Man That saved Science! Focusing on the Humanism movement of the Renaissance, fascinating. Sadly, when it comes to the current trend of denigrating science, I think we are entering another Dark Ages.
