I was going to pick on your spelling, but you provided photo evidence! Up here where we do not need velcro on our shoes, we have: The boxes have had many cameos over the years, picked this vintage box based on current events.

Uh, Bach wasn't classical. He was Baroque. Classical could get heavy.

Hi everyone!! Sorry for the delay in my getting back to you all on this. We've decided to delay the 2 factor authorization for now; but have implemented the new minimum password requirement. We'll give it a little time and see if we need to proceed with the 2FA down the road. Misty

HA?

"Tap on link to reset password" (tap) "Enter new password " (type, type, type) "Confirm new password" (type, type, type) "New password con not be the same as current password."

Tailgating really doesn’t change my driving style much, other than increase my following distance and be more aware of what’s happening on the road in front of me. Those tactics give the guy behind me more time to react so he doesn’t hit my car. I’ve rarely seen slowing down or break-checking convince a tailgater to back off; from what I’ve seen, it’s more likely to inspire road rage. If it’s so much of a problem it worries me, I’ll do what I need to do (e.g., pull over) to let him around me.

Seems not to have been implemented yet. I'll forward your info on automatic merge. I never experienced it so thank you for describing it.

One foot in mud, one foot in snow, and dust blowing in your face. Graf. My first landlord in West Germany was a member of Rommel's Africa Corp. He trained at the same places in Graf we did - with the same wonderful experiences...

I was walking the gunline at Graf late one night and went back to the messline to check on the cleanup detail. Came around the back of the 5 ton and found my detail up in the truck, hiding. There was a hog in the messline. It had knocked over the table and was crushing C ration cans to ease out what was inside and drinking out of the mermite container. Never signed the mess log..

If we did, there wouldn't be a Navy.

Australian History Daily Slang - todays word is; Billy – with story to explain Teapot (In the Outback on the fire) Picture yourself in the rugged Outback, gathered around a campfire with mates, savoring the rich aroma of freshly brewed tea. But billy tea isn’t just about the beverage itself; it’s a symbol of camaraderie and timeless traditions. So grab your bush hat and prepare for an adventure into the fascinating realm of Australian slang and culture. HISTORY AND ORIGINS OF BILLY TEA Billy tea holds a rich history and deep-rooted origins in Australian culture. Dating back to the early days of colonial Australia, billy tea became a staple drink for explorers, drovers, and bushmen who needed refreshment during their relentless journeys. The term “billy” refers to a lightweight metal can or pot used for boiling water over an open fire. It was the go-to vessel for making tea in rugged outback environments where traditional teapots were impractical. As pioneers relied on this resourceful method of brewing tea, billy tea became synonymous with adventure, camaraderie, and the spirit of the Australian bush. Legend has it that swagmen (travellers carrying their belongings) would boil water in their trusty billy cans as they roamed vast landscapes seeking work and sustenance. In those times, sharing a cup of steaming billy tea around a campfire was more than just quenching one’s thirst; it fostered connection and provided comfort in an otherwise harsh environment. The tradition of billy tea grew alongside Australia’s rich pastoral history. It became an integral part of droving expeditions and stockman life as they herded livestock across vast distances. Billy can boilers often carried fragrant eucalyptus leaves or gum twigs to add extra flavor to their brews—a uniquely Australian twist on this beloved beverage. Today, while modern advancements have made boiling water easier than ever before, Australians continue to cherish the heritage of billy tea as a symbol of resilience, simplicity, and mateship. So next time you sip on your cozy cuppa down under, remember that you are carrying on a timeless tradition rooted in the tales of adventurers who found solace and companionship through their shared love for this quintessential Aussie drink.
