    Golden Era Planes of Fame

    I believe the "2-piece" greenhouse of the Hughes H-1 was simply the windscreen, which had a compound curve and the canopy hinged to open to the right in one more piece.

    No wonder Ebay rules

    Just as a side not XP home edition has been the best Windoze I've ever run. I've had no more than 5-6 freeze ups in 5 years. The counterfeit thing knows no boundries. It truly doesn't require multimillion dollar equipment to produce replicas. Other brick and mortar retailers have been sold...

    Rising crime- what are your theories?

    This topic is based on the premise that there actually has been a dramatic rise in major (violent) crime. Statistics can be viewed in may ways but when the FBI Uniform Crime Report shows a 2.2% reduction in 2004 and a 2.5% increase in 2005 I call that a level rate. If it has dropped 33.4% from...

    Are we becoming more lazy?

    Rosie I know we're getting lazier but the frank/bun and pnutbutter & jelly already mixed are simply marketing gimmicks in my eyes. And there is SO much of that it is hard to account for.

    Do you buy organic?

    The organic thing got going in the 60s with the hippy movement. "Far out man!" lol We may get some organic stuff but not much. My wife has little time to seek it out in assorted stores. She can make one trip a week and that is to a major name chain market. We don't eat much red meat at...

    No wonder Ebay rules

    Yeah Major Nick, I've always had a copy of my current OS until I got the XP Media Edition. I have XP Home Edition. I'm not too put out that I'm buying it but the little swaray contacting several retailer has reinforced my thoughts about them. Retailers all cry about their overhead yet do...

    Manners & Etiquette

    Holding the door for anyone, women included, is the most repeated courtesy I perform. It's about the most widespread and easiest thing to do.

    Help!!! I hate the "kiss hello"

    That's the same for me Rosie. The person must have earned the intimacy of the kiss. You don't just kiss acquaintences. Same with the hugging thing. Obviously any 2 people may have different feelings of friendship or comradery for one another so one may feel like hugging or kissing the other...

    Rising crime- what are your theories?

    Look folks we can imagine anything we want but the FBI uniform crime statistics are the ultimate reflection of actual crime immune from what people "think" about crime. The fact that violent crime is up 2.5 in the preliminary 2005 data reflects favorable if you realize that in 2004 is was...

    Sign of the Times...

    I don't know, and outdoor venue at a vinyard, no less, doesn't exactly scream dress up. Did the invites say a certain attire was required? You mention the men. What about the women? Do they get a free pass since none were in evening dresses? How were they dressed? I've been involved in...

    1948 Jukebox!

    There's very little chopping of complete roadworthy cars going on today. No one can afford to purchase a restored to stock vintage car for 15-20 grand and then sink another $30-40,000 in it. Also rodders are not into brakes and suspensions from the 30s! Too dangerous. If they don't simply...

    Kids' Radio Kit

    Radio Shack used to have all sorts of radio kits like that years ago. I remember going there to test vacuum tubes from TVs that blew out and buying replacements so I could fix it myself.:)

    REQUEST FOR CALM ON ALL FRONTS. STOP.

    I think that a monkey should throw a dart at a map of the US. Where ever the dart hits they should fly the monkey there and parachute him out of the plane. When he lands the 1st person whose hand he touches is the next President. Y NOT?
