    Incorrect. Politicians spew out what ever the Party and/or their Big Donors tell them to.

    I thought about that Friday. I figured there was no sense in doing that for just one idiot.

    They don't have just ONE idiot. In my ,case, it was both Fed EX and Amazon delivering mine next door. UPS was fine about it, as was the pizza places I order from. But since the sign, no problem. Just move your sign to about eye level and see how that works.

    what do the police call their walkie talkies?

    30 years or so ago when I was in the two-way radio service business they referred to them as handheld or portable.

    I seem to remember the term Handi-Talkie.

    who pays?

    Many years ago, in a Trailer Park not so far away, we had several dogs. One of them took to tearing stuff up when we weren't there. (Inside dogs). So we tried caging them. We had gone to breakfast prior to going to the Gun Show, and after finishing said breakfast, were on our way to the Gun Show. The route took us by the Trailer Park, where we saw several Police cars around our trailer. When we pulled in to find out why, an Officer told us that there had been a report of "Sound of distress" from the trailer, so when they got there, they had broken into the back door, only to find out that it was the dog. He told me that the Department would pay for the damage.

    It arrived. Almost exactly 1 hour later then the latest estimated time. And the driver apparently cannot read, because I have a platform on the right side of my door with a sign on it that says PACKAGES, and he put it on the left side of the door. He also put it upside down.

     

    I am more and more impressed with FedEx drivers.

    I really like the guys that set it against the door that open outward so that I have to push the package out of the way to open the door.

    Used to happen to me a lot. Then I'd get an emule saying that my package had been delivered. They kept delivering it to my neighbor. My mailbox is kind of between the two houses on the street, so I guess that they thought it was theirs. Of course, my house is the last one on the street, and there's NO mailbox AFTER mine, AND my address is on my house in 6" numbers, but they kept screwing it up. (My neighbor was great about it, even brought a couple over to me). So, I got a sign to but on the mailbox with my house number and an arrow pointing to my house. No problem since.

    Aircraft carrier question

    Not quite. 

     

    01-, 02-, 03- levels (not decks) have shops, berthings, offices, and storerooms - among others.

     

    But generally speaking all of the aircraft maintenence shops are on the hangar deck, +/- one deck. 

    Thanks Chief. It's been a long time, and I never berthed on an Aircraft Carrier while in the Marines. I was on several Troop Transport, Landing Ships, and Helicopter Landing ships, (LSTs, LHAs, and LPDs).

    So those shops could be on decks 01, 02, 03?

    No. The shops are on lower decks. Look at it this way: The raised decks in the "tower" portion of the ship, (or any deck above the main deck on any other type ship,) are the "0" decks. On a Carrier, they work on the aircraft under the flight deck, which is where the shops are. The "0" decks are where the Officers hang out. Nothing gets done there. 

    Horror?

    I never did figure out what was the big deal about The Exorcist!!

    I kept waiting for a “scare”!😄

    I think that the big thing there were the special effects, (turning her head around and such), and having her swear at the priest like she did.

    In my opinion, (worth exactly what you pay for it), horror movies have a lot of people killed by the antagonist simply for his pleasure, like Freddie Kruger, Jason, etc.). Monster movies, (Frankenstein, The Blob, etc.) don't count, Sci Fi, (Alien) doesn't count. 

     

    Less sleep?

    I've read that over the years too. Most specifically in Louis Lamour books. But it doesn't seem to hold with me either. I usually go to bed around 10:00. On My gym days, I get up at 6:00. Other days, 7:00 or later. When I was still gainfully employed, it was 10:00 to 4:30, maybe 6:00 on weekends.

    Of course there are nights that I wake up at 3:30 or 4:00 and don't get back to sleep because my mind, (such as it is) won't shut down.
