There were still tons of unexploded and abandoned ammo all over Okinawa when I was there.....22 to 25 years after the war ended.
TV and radio announcements were broadcast several time a week warning folks in several languages about the dangers and EOD never took a break the whole time.
They were carefully gathered and taken off shore to an unoccupied island (or so I was told) where they were destroyed by explosives.

I thought this was the design inspiration.
I like the dumpster better. At least it looks like It had a purpose in mind in its design. I was next to a Tesla for six or seven miles in traffic the other day.
The damn thing is a traffic hazard. You can'r see around it nor through it and it appears to have more blind spots than a Sherman tank, even more so than my Impala sedan..

With the end of the war in Europe just days away, one of the strangest episodes of the entire conflict unfolded along the German-Czechoslovakian border. More than 350 American soldiers had just fought their way through enemy lines to reach the town of Hostau. The settlement, which was still in the hands of a detachment of Wehrmacht soldiers, was home to a treasure trove of considerable value: several hundred prized Lipizzan horses. The famous and extremely rare animals had been seized by the Third Reich as part of a bizarre wartime cattle breeding program. Fearing for the horses' lives, the German officer in charge of the breeding sent word to the Americans that he and his men would surrender en masse if the U.S. Army promised to rescue the beasts. A cavalry unit from Patton's Third Army jumped at the chance to save the legendary Lipizzans. The mission, which has been dubbed Operation Cowboy, would have seen U.S. troops, along with a motley collection of liberated Allied prisoners of war, a bona fide Cossack aristocrat, and a platoon of turncoat German soldiers race against time to shepherd a herd of priceless horses to safety, all the while fending off attacks from a legion of Waffen-SS stormtroopers bent on their destruction. This incredible true story was the inspiration for Ghost Riders, a new nonfiction book by author and historian Mark Felton
Wouldn't it be wonderful to watch this with the music, but WITHOUT THE HUMAN NARRATIVE.

WELLLLL! I DO have lots of experience with sitting around with my feet propped up!! You COULD say I have that mastered!!My problem is that my patience is wearing VERY VERY thin and my sanity, (which has always been in question) is becoming more threatened with every passing moment!! 🤪
Have you earned a black belt in sitting around?
I don't have the seriousness with my feet and legs that some of y'all have, but I have walking problems of my own. After I got a black belt in falling down I started working on one for sitting around.

Do you have people listed by name or do you have them listed so you can tell who they are?
I have a lady lives down the street. She is listed as Rachel corner of clay. I had a swarm of bees move into my attic. If I had just put the name of the guy that removed them in my contact list, I wouldn't have any idea who it is. So he is listed as bee guy.
Yes!

Of course you're a lady. I knew that and just plain wasn't paying attention. My apologies.

In 7th and 8th grade, Catholic school, I made sure to wear something orange.
A friend of years gone by received a five pound bag of oranges every St. Patrick's day. He was NOT amused and blamed me for awhile but never did find out who really sent them. He moved to Montana five or six years later and I lost track.

Howdy,
Being that I live in Tennessee and the summers can be brutal with heat/humidity I am thinking of ways to have a "summer costume" that still meets the CC requirements.
Vests and chaps are a no-go during the hot months. I'd like to hear what others who struggle with heat wear.
Right now I am planning on:
Knife (either belt or boot)
Cuffs
Sleeve Garters
Spurs
Suspenders
Dump the cuffs....and the last spurs I ever owned had Gene Autry's name on them.

Did he have formal interment ceremonies?
I have no idea. I thought it was stupid then and still, do but I don't let anyone tell me how to spend my money and I don't tell anyone how to spend theirs.....no matter what I feel about their sanity.

That puts some spice to them. My first DIL was Mexican. My new DIL is a wonderful black lady who is too good for my son(and he realizes that), but love does strange things to people.
My wife was too good for me, but God created her just for me and I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

There is a Sicilian Cafe nearby that has a sign in the front window that announces that they "will be closed on all lFederal / National Holidays."
The manager got all pi$$y when I told him that that meant he was going to be open two days a week.
Doesn't bother me one way or another. All of his recipes start with 50% garlic. I like garlic, but really.....!

I don't really care how anyone takes it, I was raised to call adult women Ma'am and girls Miss. Been doing that since I was old enough to talk and am not about to change for some "politically correct" BS.

I'll bet that they make a ton of money from this ingenious device from the same discerning shoppers that bought pet rocks.
When pet rocks were the craze a man in San Bernardino opened a grave yard for pet rocks in his back yard.

My birthday was two days ago. I used those two days to celebrate NOT being named Sean, Patrick, or Brian.
Tom just fits me better because that's what most people call me anyway.

Now We Know Where Tesla Looked For the Design

What a rude comparison.
At least the Sci-fi movies were entertaining. The Tesla is just plain ugly and a lousy design both inside and out.
