  1. Most of the people that I know, used to know, but now have forgotten what they thought they knew!
  2. Not for the most part. There are a few indoor pools that are in air-conditioned areas, very few.
  3. Yoko Ono must have a very healthy diaphragm!
  4. Good luck! Sounds like they have a good plan of attack and solution to the problem. BTW, the basements in most of Florida are always filled with water...we call them swimming pools!
  5. Many of the stations around here, including Sams, BJs and others, have extra long hoses just for the purpose of getting the people thru quickly by using whichever one they want to. I'm not adverse to taking advantage of the long hose in the least.
  6. Coincidentally, Rick Derringer just passed away at the age of 77 a few days ago.
  7. Shake and Bake doesn't even provide the bag to shake your choice of meat anymore. More of a Press and Bake these days. I like the Extra Crunchy version, especially on pork!
  8. Too afraid to use a hot match?
  9. Probably not now but....this was the song when I was growing up that everyone knew most of the words for.....
  10. It was amazing the Swede Savage survived the initial crash impact. I'll never forget that race, the 73 Indy. Between Salt Walther's crash, Savage's crash and the pit crew man killed by the emergency response vehicle. It still rates, in my book, as one of the most ill fated Indy's ever since the 1964 Indy in which Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald were killed by a huge crash and fire. The evolution of the fuel tanks in search of making them as safe as they can be has save many, many lives in all forms of racing. Shifting away from solid fuel tanks to a flexible "bladder" has been a major safety improvement.
  11. Yes to all of those! I remember the metal film cans with the screw on lid. No, I never did anything illegal with them and black powder...in case anyone asks.
  12. Expiration dates in the grocery stores!
  13. I still say...throw a couple of Evinrude outboards on one end and turn it into a giant aircraft/infantry/support/everything carrier. It'd be virtually unsinkable after adding a heavy keel to it so it wouldn't tip over!
  14. I bought an FN 5.7 brand new w/hard case and 3 - 20 round mags when they first got popular. It was very accurate, operated the way it was supposed to and pleasant to shoot, although I only ran about 200 rounds through it. When I first got it, I asked a friend of mine to get me a case of ammo for it as he had good connections for ammo at the time. He got the ammo in and called me to come get it. I got cash at the bank and went over to his house. How much says I, he says $800. I about soiled myself. Guess what, a case of ammo wasn't 1,000 rounds as I had figured, it was 2,000 rounds. I had to go back to the bank but I paid it as I didn't want to stick him with it. Sold the gun and ammo when someone gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Looking back, I don't miss it as the ammo was outrageously expensive in my book.
  15. Very beginning of the movie in which the character played by Tim Roth called the waitress garcon and the waitress responded by telling him that garcon meant boy.
  16. I learned that by watching Pulp Fiction!
  17. I say keep it at 50 States. Trade California to England for Canada. Send the libs to CA and the Loons to the US.
  18. I see her name on scores every once in a while. I last saw her about 6 or 7 years ago, she was doing well at that time.
  19. If I had to base my viewing of auto racing, or any other sport for that matter, on that abomination....I'd never watch auto racing again.
  20. This is why you never give Yuri Geller a fork set!
  21. I saw that in the news yesterday. I thought, how in the hell did he not hear or feel it scraping across the sea floor and land. Boy, nice house and scenic view!
  22. I think that most brand name hotels require a credit card to reserve and/or book a room these days. You may still be able to pay cash for the room, I don't know, but they have your card on file to pay for any incidentals like damage or room bar usage. As far as responsibility for room damage, etc., I would think that that would be on the entity that signed for the room.
  23. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the broadcast, picture was good, camera work good and good to see Carl Edwards again...wish he still raced. I have to be honest, I watch almost all sports, especially auto racing and baseball, with the volume on mute. Still, way too many commercials for me though. The next 3 or 4 races are also on Amazon if I read it right. I notice that you still call it the World 600, so do I just as I still call the (used to be) July race at Daytona the Firecracker 400. I fell asleep about halfway through the race and woke up with 10 to go. Glad to see Chastain win...started dead last. I don't know if anyone has ever started last and won the 600 before, probably not. Mrs. Sun has Amazon Prime, so I didn't have to pay anything. She orders a lot of stuff from there, occasionally she'll order something for me is I ask nice!
  24. That was something! I've never seen that before. Boy, those choppers were lower than the grandstand it seemed like. Must have been a real thrill to see in person!
  25. Congrats to Palou on the win. Makulas ran a good race also. Too bad for Larson, he crashed the same way in practice. A lot of trouble on pit road which surprised me somewhat. The filming was okay, I guess. Way too many commercials and 1/2 screen broadcast. I sometimes wonder why I bought a big screen tv when most of the time I watch sports it's on 1/2 screen 45% of the time with ads or useless commentary. Oh well, on to Charlotte.
