    Good game, was hoping for the Bills but oh well. Sea hawks up 24-6 near half time. Don’t care about either of them teams. Oh well on to a movie…….  

     

    41-6, with 6 minutes left.  Tempted to turn it off, but there's a morbid,  "Let's see how bad it gets!" feeling. 

     

    I think I just heard one of the announcers say that Purdy has put close to 350 yards in the backfield scrambling,  trying to find an open receiver.

    The nanny state, even 100 years ago,

     

    Vulcan on a unicorn! Give it a rest!

    "Because they walked Beach Boulevard in one-piece bathing suits but without the rest of their bodies properly covered, Fred Randall and Leo Bickman were fined $64.10 each, plus court costs. Biloxi police warned them not to do it again.

     

    Huh? For true?

     

    Yes, but this happened 100 years ago. May 24, 1920, was a lovely, sunny Saturday on the Mississippi Coast."  The fine was $5, but in today's money that's the 64 bucks

     

     

    "...It shall be unlawful for any person to appear on any Biloxi street or to loiter in any public place off of the beach attired in a bathing costume, unless said person wears a suitable robe covering the body from shoulders to below the knees.

     

    “...Be it further ordained that any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined not less than $5 nor no more than $100, or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 15 days or both...”

     

    And Texas is such an oppressive nanny state!

  3. Some floor plans.   I expect that there is considerable variation from  class to class, but these give a general idea.

    I've also seen mentioned that the aft end of the hanger deck can be opened for testing engines.

  4. I don't understand how any level of government can require a permit for the exercise of a constitutionally enumerated and protected civil right.  It changes it from a right to a privilege bestowed by the Gracious Beneficent Largesse of the State. 

     

    "The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them  to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."
    : Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

    Constitutional rights may not be infringed simply because the majority of the people choose that they be." (Westbrook v. Mihaly 2 C3d 756)

     

    Some good comments here:

    Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105 P.5

    The state may not convert a secured liberty into a privilege, and

    issue a license and fee for it.

    and you hear car door shutting, and trunk lids shutting, and large trucks pulling up in front of your house.

     

    Around here that's usually Fire/Rescue responding to a medical emergency. 

     

    Most often between 0230 and 0430.

    It's amazing how many panels they open and slam shut.

    I was just reading 

    Is the hanger deck the entire length of the ship?

     

    and for the curious (ALPO) ....

     

     

    I see that you read stuff on Quora, too!

    As I understand it, the hanger DECK runs the entire length, but the HANGER BAY is about 2/3 of the length.  The rest being shops, engineering, and the like.
