Summer has arrived in Phoenix
Sedalia Dave replied to Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Spent 5 1/2 months in Bahrain. Arrived in January and left in June. Some mornings we would go outside and find the sidewalks wet like it rained. However, it didn't, the buildings are sweating because the stone facade is below the dewpoint. We had to wash our EP-3 every 28 days. Go in 2 hours before sunrise and stage everything. As soon as it is light enough to see we start. All the maintenance folks are wearing cotton coveralls and the aircrew are wearing their flight suits. As the sun rises the air temp is 100 deg and a breeze starts to blow. Even though it is 100+ we are shivering due to the evaporative cooling effect caused by the dry air and breeze. 2 hours later we finished washing the aircraft and putting everything away. Due to the low humidity, breeze and it being 110+ everyone's clothes are bone dry. Really strange feeling to be shivering when the air temp is 100 degrees. -
Explains why you have to take out a second mortgage to afford to attend sporting events.

Dated a girl in Spain that owned one of those. Getting used to a shifting gears with a gear shift that moved in and out of the dash and twisted side to side was not easy. The air suspension made for a smooth ride on the straightaways but was rather interesting in the corners at speed. Definitely created a serious pucker factor a couple of times.

Pure rubbish as far as I am concerned. There is zero proof one way or the other that the Cyber Truck was inspired by Citroen's design. By his own admission the design was inspired by vehicles in sify movies he watched as a kid. I'm more inclined to believe that Citroen's car was inspired by those same 70's sify movies. Anyone that has ever worked with stainless steel sheet metal is well aware of how hard it is to form by stamping it into dies with complex curves. That is why the Delorean DMC-12 was mostly flat surfaces and not a lot of curves.

Went to the VA today to get one of my hearing aids repaired. The grounds around the clinic and hospital have several mature oaks. Almost every one was missing a major limb or two due to some straight line winds we had in NE TX a few weeks ago.

As a kid poleing and paddling john boats up and down Missouri's creeks and rivers, you learn real quick that Water Moccasins like to drop out of tree branches that overhang the water.

The world could use a bunch more like Dale and Roy. They lead by example by investing their own time and money rather than demanding that others do so.

Duelist or Double Duelist is only allowed to have ONE LOADED revolver in hand (not holstered or touching the prop where staged at a time. Gunfighter can have TWO LOADED revolvers in hand but there is no requirement to do so. Blackwater's explanation covers the rules for Gunfighter very well Double Duelist is not a separate category. It is just a different way to shoot Duelist. Double Duelist simply means that the shooter shoots each revolver with a different hand. Otherwise the rules for Duelist and Double Duelist are the same. Neither Duelist nor Double Duelist can have two LOADED revolvers in hand at the same time. So a Duelist or Double Duelist can pull one pistol and shoot all 5 rounds. They can then pull the second pistol and begin to fire it without having to holster/restage the first pistol. However if there is a live round in pistol one and you draw and cock pistol two before you holster pistol one you earn a SDQ. The only category that allows two LOADED pistols in hand at the same time is Gunfighter.

Given that a court stenographer is typing in what is essentially shorthand I doubt it.

Depending on the circumstances yes the state can remove parental rights. My aunt and uncle were very active foster parents so I have 4 cousins that are not blood relation. Three of the four were eventually adopted by my Aunt and Uncle. The fourth they were never able to adopt (not for a lack of trying). She entered the family as a toddler and lived with my aunt and uncle up until she graduated high school. To this day she still refers to my Aunt and Uncle as mom and dad.

WANNA" HEAR A TRUCKING TALE.......

And when you happen to pass one of the entrances you'd never know all that was there. -
Here is the reason for the 17th amendment. https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/electing-appointing-senators.htm Unfortunately, in the long run, it has not made any difference. About the only thing that could possibly make a real difference is term limits. But that will never happen as a Constitutional Convention in today's political climate would lead to our destruction.

Warriors Reflection They said I would be changed in my body. I would move through the physical world in a different manner. I would hold myself in a different posture. I would have pain where there was no blood. I would react to sights, sounds, movement and touch in a crazy way, as though I were back in war. They said I would be wounded in my thoughts. I would forget how to trust, and I would think that others were trying to hurt me. I would see dangers in the kindness and concern of my relatives and others. Most of all, I would not be able to think in a reasonable manner, and it would seem that everyone else was crazy. They told me that it would appear to me that I was alone even in the midst of the people, and that there was no one else like me. They warned me that it would be as though my emotions were locked up, and I would be cold in my heart and not remember the ways of caring for others. While I might give meat and blankets to the elders, or food to the children, I would not be able to feel the goodness of these actions. That I would do these things out of habit and not from caring. They predicted that I might do harm to others without plan or intention. They knew that my spirit would be wounded. They said I would be lonely and that I would find no comfort in family, friends, elders or spirits. I would be cut off from both beauty and pain. My dreams would be dark and frightening. My days would be filled with searching and not finding. I would not be able to find connections between myself and the rest of creation. I would look forward to an early death. And, I would need cleansing in all these things. Nez Perce origin
