Keeping the Faith
Driving in general is an illustration of trust to be sure. I have found that in countries such as Latin American ones where driving is crazy compared to ours you watch out for your left side and the other guy's right side in relation to you and the next guy to your right does the same so the...- Twitch

Papers on potenial Hess release
Hey KL 15 I encourage you to seek out information about the Japanese war crimes trials, what led up to them and especially the aftermath. You will be stunned. And don't get riled. Soldiers from all countries mostly served with honor for their countries just as we do in the US. There's no... -
Bristol Brabazon?
I'm familiar with the Brabazon. Quite a monster. I always thought the 10-engine Saunder-Roe Princess flying boat was another contender for biggest monster. It was bigger in some respects. While neither had as many seats as the modern planes, 72-105 seat layouts, their bizarre sizes were...- Twitch

Papers on potenial Hess release
I see much I agree with there but cannot completely in the concept of "if you're the victor your war crimes are excused." Here's why. In Nuremberg the accused were tried on 4 counts. 1. Crime against peace 2. Waging aggressive war 3. War crimes 4. Crimes against humanity. Crimes... -
We Pick Up Where They Left Off
I have interviewed and spoken at length with veterans and others that lived through WW II and find there is nothing they could not do if they put their minds to it. They were the epitome of "can do" attitude. Then they came out of the war with a momentum that economically served the country... -

Yeah my daughter got one 6 months ago at Target for peanuts. I have to figure they still stock them even if they don't advertise them.- Twitch

Love Children! Scam!
When my kids were doing money raising it was simply $1 candy bars. Mmm! Then it got into all sorts of esoteric crapola to where the kids were hauling boxes of assorted junk up to your doorstep. I'm sure them must have been over-priced candles in there. I finally put an end to it when they...- Twitch

The Joys of Starting Over
I have been messing with PCs since about 1988 so I'm familiar with even DOS before Windoze. I've never gotten so screwed up I've had to wipe it all out and start over but I have done re-installs of Windoze over the data. I considered the computer a hobby and enjoyed the DOS commands which...- Twitch

Car Key Woes!
One thing for certain I have no desire to go back to the bad old days when you had to do tunes ups every 10,000 miles and change oil every 1,000. My El Dorado didn't make it to the 100,000 mile tune up but did 85,000 before needing plug wires so I had my mechanic do all the rest of the service...- Twitch

Papers on potenial Hess release
But Hess did receive a merciful sentence from the Nuremberg court which based its justice on evidence rather than hysterical emotions. Where extremists would have cried for death the court decided life was punishment enough. Hess was never involved in any military decision of the Reich. He... -
Car Key Woes!
My 96 El Dorado has the older chip. The newer ones are costly. I can still get hardware store dupes that work w/o chips. The real pizzer was when the remotes, which ultimately get old and worn, needed replacement. Cadillac wanted $153 which dropped to $135 when I blurted out a string of...- Twitch

Gideon- yes, don't go for a complete knee replacement. My Mom did it at 86 and and it was a shock to the system sure. But what killed her was infection and pnemonia. I vowed I'd never get it for sure.- Twitch

Papers on potenial Hess release
I was talking about what John mentioned- brutal repression around the globe, riots and rage not the actual Hess case. These is no reason I can guess why they may have killed him other than one groups could have become completely tired with the whole charade of keeing one mentally ill guy in... -

Gilbey- also checkout a place I get catalogs for all the time- Heartland.com. They have VCR/DVD recorders so you can migrate your tapes to disc. Machines cost about $150, probably what you and I paid for our last VCR:)- Twitch

Civil Defense box
CD also stored 50 gallon drums with foodstuffs in designated locations, ie., any place with a Civil Defense sign since it was an official place to gather in an emergency. ABout a year ago I went to Grand Canyon Caverns and saw their stock of supplies the CD hauled in during the 50s. It's...
