  1. Six different sites said something like this: "Tuna, the name of the fruit, comes directly from Caribbean Taino languages, and was adopted into Spanish during Mexico’s early colonial times (1500s)."
  2. Of course she will! She has you for a perfectly good Horrible Example! (look at who you hang out with here) Seriously, Well Done, Young Lady.
  3. Forseti in a knar, people! What's wrong with cops showing humor?
  4. Typical Cop here's a great officer and example "I just got pulled over because my head light was out. I told Officer Adrian McKinney that I had the replacement bulb in my car for it, but couldn't find anyone to get it out. He asked me to get it and show him, then asked me to pop my hood. He fought with the headlight for at least 15-20 minutes but he was handier than a pocket on a shirt and fixed it for me! It was hot, muggy and dark. He also ended up with burned fingers trying to help me out. He didn't have to change it for me. He could have written me a ticket. But he took an oath to protect and serve, and he did just that tonight. Thank you Officer McKinney!"

  5. WORLD WAR PICTURES GROUP World War Pictures · tepsnoordS8cc4tu6f6g15h1ic375cm7314h3708624t4f4gl7ilm5u130mi · USAAF B-29 “waist gunner” watches for Japanese fighters while on a bombing mission to Japan - June 1944 Boeing B-29 waist gunners viewed their fields of fire through glass blisters, the .50 cal MGs were mounted in external turrets and were remote controlled. The gunners aimed by using an interior machine gun-like pedestal with handles to control an aiming crosshair. This pedestal was linked to the gun turrets via an analogue computer that took the crosshair aiming point as input and adjusted the turret guns' aiming point for target size and speed, wind velocity, and other characteristics.

  6.

  7. In my almost 68 years on this good Earth, all of it in California except for a few short trips across the country, and the first 21 years in San Diego County, I've never heard or seen it call "tuna." Even in the plentiful Mexican markets. Maybe they just don't want to confuse the gaijin.
  8. Not impressive stats. 2019 (Kansas City): 25 games; 0-3 record; 7.65 ERA; 1.90 WHIP; 20.0 IP; 17 K; 8 BB. 2020 (Kansas City): 1 game; 0-0 record; 9.00 ERA; 2.00 WHIP; 1.0 IP; 0 K; 1 BB. 2021 (Kansas City): 20 games; 2-0 record; 3.48 ERA; 1.06 WHIP; 20.2 IP; 23 K; 6 BB; 1 save.
  9. That's a pretty neat machine. Thanks.
  10. Water heater. Tuna. In the ocean, on the plate, in a can, or on a sandwich. A "Tuna Fish Sandwich " is tuna salad on top of a breaded cod filet between slices of bread. Safe Deposit Box.
  11. Using his best weapon, salesmanship.
  12. He just needs his dog, Spot!
  13. The first time I saw a freighter in the middle of the Central Valley it really played head games with me. Intellectually I knew about The Port of Stockton, but seeing it really hit home. https://stocktonhistoricalmaritimemuseum.org/about/about-the-musuem/
  14. That's pretty much a buttermilk fry bread.
  15. Some of those look pretty good. How many have you had? I had to google "Milo."
  16. Being in drag was a publicity stunt in a St. Patrick's Day parade to promote a beauty pageant fundraiser later in the year. Helps if you actually listen. Ever watch "Some Like It Hot?" or maybe Flip Wilson? It wasn't just on the war front. Right here in the lower 48. How about Ronnie introducing a US Army drag show in the 1943 classic,"This Is the Army" Or the "Girlie Show" at Ft Slocum, 1942 OH! And "Mrs. Doubtfire."
  17. Those Schrader Valves have weird thread sizes. 0.305-32 external, 0.209-36 internal.

  19. Holy Martyr Florian pray to God for them.
  20. I've never understood the, "Well, no matter what led to it, your child shouldn't have hit back. We have a 0 tolerance policy. The incident should have been reported to the nearest adult." We had a situation sort of like that with my stepdaughter. I went in to talk to a VP about it, told him something like "One of your teachers/yard duty ladies was right there watching it. Shuft like this has been happening a couple of times a week since the start of the year. My kid's reported it We've made calls to admin about it. We've written letters about it. And you sit on your lazy burro and do NOTHING. Next time it happens she's going to take out his knee, then kick him in the crotch, the belly, and the face. And you're going to ignore it like you have the attacks on her. If you try to punish her for defending herself when you refuse to do it, I'm going to the Sheriff, CPS and anyone else an attorney recommends, with charges of abuse, child endangerment, creating a hostile environment for children. You will be named, along with the principle, and the superintendent." Never another incident.
  21. You just want to see "burly firefighters" in their white sewings!
