  1. I rarely had it at breakfast.  But a big glass on a hot afternoon was great.  Especially if we had an abundance of fresh oranges from friends and took the time to squeeze a half gallon or so.  Usually we just used the frozen concentrate.

     

    I hate the tiny "juice glasses" that give you 2 sips.

  2. Enough to pay off my debts, buy a modest but nice house on about half an acre. Hire a landscaping service and a once a week housecleaning service, and live a slightly affluent lifestyle without touching the principal. That's probably in realm of $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 in investments.

    thought radio carbon dating - otherwise known as carbon 14 - only worked on organic material. They can date plant matter. They can date animal matter. They can date bird remains. They can date fish.

     

    As I suspected, indirectly dated:

     

    "by analyzing organic material like charcoal, wood, or pollen trapped in the sediment layers filling the engineered stone channels.The Dating ProcessStratigraphic Excavation: Archaeologists carefully dig down through the layers of soil and sediment that have built up inside and around the stone channels over hundreds or thousands of years.Sampling Organic Remains: They search for pieces of charcoal from ancient fires, buried pieces of wood, or organic debris trapped directly under or within the sediment infill.Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS): Tiny fragments of this recovered carbon are processed using AMS testing to measure the remaining amount of carbon-14, providing a precise calendar age."

    Oh, Lord.  Something new to argue about.

     

    Clip, charger, en-bloc magazine, or magazine.

     

    Pistol or Revolver

     

    .45 Colt or .45 Long Colt

     

    Silencer or Suppressor 

     

    And, I'm sure, a lot more I can't think of right now.

     

    :D

    "

    When the fish traps were added to Australia’s national heritage list in 2005, they were described as “the largest traps recorded”, showcasing a thorough understanding of “dry stone wall construction techniques, river hydrology and fish ecology”. Due to their size, design and complexity they were considered “exceptionally rare”.

    Quite how old these structures are is unclear. Dr Duncan Wright, an archaeologist at Australian National University, says although there has been no reliable radiocarbon dating, archaeological data suggests the traps are more recent than local claims that they are 40,000 years old . “To my knowledge there have been no fish traps found that date back that far, certainly none in Australia,” he says."

    The grabbers now want to apply this footnote to ownership licensing, with training requirements and anything else they can attach.

     

     

    Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943)

    As stated by the Supreme Court of Illinois in a case involving this same sect and an ordinance similar to the present one, a person cannot be compelled "to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution." [Footnote 9] Blue Island v. Kozul, 379 Ill. 511, 519, 41 N.E.2d 515

    Remember back when they had full service gas stations? B)

    That's not full service.  They don't check oil, coolant,  tire pressure, or clean the windshield and headlights.
