Demeter on a skimboard! Give it a freakin' rest! Can't you rein in your HATE for two minutes and NOT drag it into a thread honoring people whose actions merited the Medal of Honor?

I thought it was the LSO that was the Grinch.

My skin usually tends towards oily. My forehead and upper chest especially. So I use either a scrubber or exfoliating soap every day. Aggressively.
I'll occasionally need to use a lotion on my hands or feet, but not often.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It's designed to keep your innards in, help regulate your body temperature, and keep nasty stuff out of your body. Need to take care of it.
I don't worry about grey hair, or my rapidly expanding forehead. Or wrinkles. All those are the hashmarks of life.

yup - and the fires burned with no water to protect - just how does newsome think that was OK and he is a good governor ?
Um....Newsom was born in 1967, bridge was opened in '73.
I'm pretty sure that he had absolutely nothing to do with this project. Nor did Jerry Brown.
And, as J.D. pointed out, it is quite useful, even though it only serves a sparsely populated area, it cuts driving time drastically. Also, it gives easier access to recreational areas in Gold Country.

On a question about what you can fire from a musket, one of the answers:
"Besides buck or ball, you could load things like, salt, tacks, or rocks. Muskets are the USPS of firearms. If it fits, it ships."

I usually use just some sweetener. Sometimes I put in milk. If I have it on hand I'll use heavy cream.
How much depends on my mood.

From AF Museum FB page.
This flag flew on the USS St. Louis at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. While in the harbor, gunners downed three torpedo planes before the ship headed out to the open sea in search of the Japanese fleet. During the following days, the USS St. Louis escorted transport ships carrying casualties to San Francisco and troops to Hawaii.
During the formal surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945, the flag flew on the USS Iowa alongside other occupation force ships. The USS Iowa remained in Tokyo Bay as part of the occupying force until later that month when it transported troops and liberated prisoners of war to the US. The flag serves as a reminder of the beginning and end of the deadliest world war ever fought. #pearlharbour

Did he survive the war?
Since he was stationed at Ft. Thomas it would seem he earned his ticket home.
Sis-in-Law found a picture our Father-in-Law standing on formation with the rest of his crew in front of their B-29 before taking off for a nighttime bombing mission over North Korea. He sure was young.
Yes, he did survive. Passed away about 15 years ago.

Mr. Vice President, and Mr. Speaker, and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that Nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation.
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.

Naked Cowboy
A Sheriff in a small town in Texas walks out in the street and sees a blond haired cowboy coming toward him with nothing on but his cowboy hat, his gun and his boots. He arrests him for indecent exposure.
As he is locking him up, he asks 'Why in the world are you walking around like this?'
The cowboy says, 'Well it's like this Sheriff ......
I was in this bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to her motor home with her. So I did.
We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt... So I did.
Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants.... So I did.
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts...so I did.
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says, 'Now go to town, cowboy.. '
'And here I am.'
Son of a Gun. Blonde Men do exist!!!!

I've usually heard it, and used it, as "Christ on a crutch." and I'm trying to break myself of that. To aid in that I'm resorting to the panthea of various cultures,mostly from antiquity, and obscure modes of transportation.
