Tony Dow, the actor, was born in 1945. This episode was made in 1970, so he was 25 years old. There was a war going on. I've heard people get promoted quickly during wartime, sometimes. Don't forget, in Back to the Future, 17-year-old Marty McFly was played by 24 year old Michael J Fox. Sometimes people look younger than they are.

Wouldn't he have had to put his cover on when he got out of the car to go into the convenience store to buy the pack of cigarettes for the girl? Rereading my original post I see I left that out. The girl needs some cigarettes and asked him to leave the keys in the car so she can listen to the radio while he went in to get cigarettes.

I was watching Adam 12. This episode was originally in 1970. Leave it to Beaver's big brother Wally is a Marine. Just back from Vietnam. Just bought a car. 8 miles on the odometer. Picked up a hitchhiker. All he could remember was blonde hair to her shoulders and an extremely short mini skirt. She stole his brand new car. So there he is standing there talking to Reed and Malloy, outdoors, with no cover and his hands in his pockets. I thought that was a no no for Marines. Have I been misinformed? I thought his hair was too long also, but 1970 I don't believe they were doing high and tight.

Stepmother We have Bill. And we have Susan. Susan marries Bill's father. That makes Susan Bill's stepmother. But if Bill died several years before Susan met his father. Would she still be considered his stepmother? Seeings as how he was dead before she married his father? I'm thinking in-laws would work the same way. My wife had two brothers and one sister. So I had two brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law. But if one of her brothers had died before I ever met her, then I would just have one brother-in-law and one sister-in-law. Right? I don't think you could be related to a corpse after the fact.

In books I have read, they have a stenographer taking down your confession or your statement or whatever the hell you're telling them. Then they have that typed up and bring it back to you and have you read it and sign it. That's in books In TV shows, they hand you a pad of paper and a pen and tell you to write it all down. Now truthfully, having the stenographer take it down and then the secretary transcribe it and type it makes a whole lot more sense. I mean hell, typing is much easier to read than my handwriting. So there's the question. They bring in a suspect or a witness or whatever. Do they have a stenographer taking down what he says, and then have it typed out for him to read and sign? Or do they have him write out the statement and sign it? And I'm sure someone will say it depends on where you're at, so whichever Police department you have ever been affiliated with - how did they do it?

I wondered, when I read that post, if I was the only one that did not think that when you needed a gun you needed it immediately (I figure if I needed immediately I will have it in my hand). That seems to be the way it is in gun magazines - remember them? - and all over the internet. All holsters are not talked about how well they secure the gun, but how will they conceal the gun and how quick you can draw the gun from it. The one I posted on up the thread was designed specifically for camping. 20 gauge bolt action with a short barrel designed to fit in a backpack, to take it in the woods with you. It wasn't something you might need in the middle of beautiful downtown Burbank to fight off some Crips or some Bloods.

Alpoesque question on silverware
Alpo replied to Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Maybe they realize that you don't need iced tea spoons, as correctly sweetened iced tea is sweetened as it is made. You don't put sugar in it and stir it up when it's on the table. Personally, we used iced tea spoons to get the jelly out of the jar when I was a little boy. -
Video clip. This guy walks up with a piece of paper in his hand reading it. "I'm looking for a doctor Jonas Salk" (I don't remember the name of the doctor in the video). Woman looks up and says "that's me". He hands her the paper and says "you've been served", turns around and walks away. How is there any proof? What is to prevent the woman from sticking that summons in the paper shredder and when the cops show up saying "I never saw it. I don't know what he's talking about"? I suppose nowadays they have like body cams to show that they've been served, or they take pictures like the Amazon guy does when he leaves the box outside your door, to prove that it was delivered. But back before everybody carried a camera, how could the server prove that he served?

That was the police model. I've never shot one, but I've been told that that short steel folding stocked kicked like a mother.

He said that spiffy new one was either propane or butane. I thought those yellow bottles were mapp gas.

I sort of miss that the T-shirt thread went away. Every once in awhile you find one that just belongs there.

I didn't think about that. I was thinking more like - you are at home. You cut yourself. Your wife or your mother or somebody else with the authority to do something like that bandages the cut. And that's the end of it. The medical emergency has been fixed. There's no need to take you to the doctor. So I was thinking similar. The ambulance arrives, they jab him. Now he's breathing. He's not turning blue anymore. Medical emergency has been fixed. No need to take him to the doctor. But I guess when you call an ambulance you're going to the doctor.

Really? I thought it was just used for those allergy reactions. See what happens when you try to get your medical knowledge off television.

Do they routinely carry EpiPens in ambulances? I have absolutely no knowledge of my own about the effect of an EpiPen. Television and movies, that's all. But in television and movies, they stabbed somebody with it and kazzam - they're fine. Whatever allergy they were dying from that EpiPen cured it immediately. I'm just watching a clip from a show - TV show I presume - called Freaks and Geeks. The one boy says that if he eats a peanut he could die. Couple of the local bullies decided they would see if he was lying or not so while he was over talking to someone else they put some peanuts in his sandwich. The next scene they have him on a gurney rushing him to the ambulance to take him to the hospital --- I can understand he's going into anaphylactic shock. But wouldn't they stab him with the EpiPen and that would bring him out of it? Or would they not have an EpiPen on the ambulance? Of course this could simply be wanting to make a very dramatic statement for the television show.

This is my opinion. Lima beans are green and are somewhere between the size of a 22 and the size of a 38. Butter beans are yellow and are somewhere around the size of a 12 gauge. Different size, different color, and while I dislike lima beans, butter beans are plumb nasty.
