    New Star Trek

    One thing for certain is that Kirk, whoever plays him, is the Captain. He was the only captain that was worth a hoot anywho. All the rest did was analize and basically promote board meetings, or bored meetings, with unending diplomatic ga-ga speak droning on forever. Kirk was always at the...

    Home Owners Associations

    Nashoba what you should do is find a pro-bono lawyer (maybe an ex-Marine:) ) who will take her to court for harassment, restraining order or whatever legaleze he can apply. While HOAs are in theory good the problem is with all clubs, they get folks in there that have little else to do. They...

    If You Made A Movie

    My movie would be the story of the most famed team in the air in WW II, Don Gentile and John Godfrey. It would cover their combat history together with brief flashbacks to their previous flying experience. It would be a bio/war movie set in 1943-45 England and over the Continent. Yes lots...

    How Does World Hunger Affect You Or Does It?

    It is the season, so let's forget about our pecadillos and give money and things to charities of our choices this year. I say local churches because that's how mine works. If we raise $1,000 for a specific needy group they get the whole amount. Don't know what big time organized "chain"...

    Home Owners Associations

    Home owners' associations are the bane of social existance. I do not and never will live under these neighborhood nazis. I know many people who do and it it and always has been problematic. I know some that are so detailed in their specific rules as to be just anal. Literally, if you put...

    A look at the real “Cops and Robbers” of the Depression.

    Another thing most folks don't realize is that the average person had nothing to fear from the gangsters of the era. The did not commit crimes against citizens but rather against institutions such as banks and law enforcement. They didn't stick up some poor schmuck that just cashed his check...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    OK during that time the Giza pyramids were the targets of continuing explorarion and conjecture on their construction- With a lull after the 1890s UFO sightings increased exponentially in the 1940s- I'd like to know the skinny on either mystery.

    My fathers war

    Thankyou Spitfire. This is an example of one of the many stories lost between the lines to the ages. There are so many that will never be told. Thanks for the insight.

    A retro flyer style can caught my eye

    Those are P-40 Warhawks used by the Flying Tigers in the background of the graphics. They do produce a vintage atmosphere over all with the cans and pin ups.

    How Does World Hunger Affect You Or Does It?

    And for those of you affiliated with a church remember that 100% of your gift goes to the needy. Organized charities have like 92% administration expenses and 8% gets to real people. Your church direct all of it to the target chosen. The only other thing we give to is the Heifer Project...

    How Does World Hunger Affect You Or Does It?

    Don't feel guilty. What have you done wrong that you should have to feel guilty? Feel blessed. Give what you can to where you can in the charity department and go on with your abundant life knowing that there simply isn't much you can do about anything in the world. Due to the blatant...

    Fedoras Getting Popular Again?

    As a member of the vintage car owners in So. California I have seen more actual, fedora shaped straws on people at events- Panamas and Dobbs-look straws. That grew this year displacing some of the old golf straws seen. Occassionally in "winter" a felt fedora might be seen now. Seems like...

    Cringing re-make of The WILD BUNCH

    The Wild Bunch is my favorite of all time. But another cult classic I love The Warriors was supposed to be "remade" too. But not located in NYC but LA with a wholely different plot. I don't know what happened but it didn't get released when it was supposed to as far as I know. I say it's...

    Car Key Woes!

    Being tested NOW, but I am not certain where, is a system for retail chains that simply use one of your finger prints for I.D. You set up the desired credit card account and link it to your print. The you go to the store, shop and check out by touching your thumb or finger to a screen. That's...
