Some of those look pretty good. How many have you had? I had to google "Milo."

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."

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.

You just want to see "burly firefighters" in their white sewings!

Because June, right? It’s not sticking, but the roads are slick, so take it easy out there. Slow down, increase following distance, and keep your “why-is-this-happening” screams inside the vehicle. #CHPTruckee #DonnerSummit #Juneuary #SnowInSummer #SlowYourRoll #StillNotChainSeasonButBeCool

Nice topographic image.

1st and 3rd coaches can be adults or kids. I suspect that in this case the base coaches are adults. The sound track from "Nemo " likely replaced the coach trying to get the kid to run. I have no idea how old the kids are, 6? Just learning the game. Lucky that they know which way to run the bases.

I think that the kid who threw the ball was another runner.

Imagine a volcano so unique that it defies the very laws of geology, spewing black lava that turns white as snow. Ol Doinyo Lengai, Tanzania’s "Mountain of God," isn’t just a volcano—it’s a natural wonder that challenges everything we know about Earth’s fiery forces. Ol Doinyo Lengai, known as the "Mountain of God" in the poetic Maasai language, stands as one of Earth’s most extraordinary geological wonders. Located in Tanzania’s breathtaking landscape, this volcano is a true anomaly—it’s the only active volcano on the planet that erupts natro-carbonatite lava, a rare type of molten rock that defies the silica-based norm. Unlike the fiery red and orange flows of typical volcanoes, Ol Doinyo Lengai’s lava is strikingly black, a result of its unique chemical composition. But the marvels don’t stop there. This enigmatic lava erupts at a surprisingly low temperature of just 510 degrees Celsius, compared to the scorching 1100 degrees Celsius of Hawaii’s basaltic lava. And when this black lava meets moisture, it undergoes a magical transformation, turning into a brilliant white. From a distance, the summit appears to be dusted with snow, but in reality, it’s a dazzling display of nature’s alchemy at work. Ol Doinyo Lengai is more than just a volcano—it’s a living laboratory that challenges our understanding of geology and ignites our curiosity about the planet’s hidden wonders. What other secrets might this "Mountain of God" hold, and what can its unique eruptions teach us about the dynamic forces shaping our world?

I think a lot of that is because of the almost mythic qualities and iconic aura from WWII. Granted, it's a marvelous example of design and engineering, but objectively there are many other pistols that are its equal, and some better.

No, not the people who filled the dispensers, the MANAGEMENT that decided to use it. And the stuff could be a right pain to get interleaved when you topped off the dispensers.
