   Works for my Great Pyr

   Actually, nearly all of the wars since 1812 were either ginned up as WWI and WWII, there was no reason for us to get involved with either, the Japanese were trying to avoid confrontation through diplomacy, or outright agression such as the Sapnish American War.

   All soldiers, sailors, and Marines who honorably serve in the military deserve our highest respect and gratitude.

   It is the asshats in Washington that use wars and rumors of wars to enrich themselves and their crony friends that deserve our undying contempt.

   Ti##y Squeezer Association. They are the Govt thugs that fake the security at the airports. If you are an 85 yr old granny in a wheel chair you get strip searched. If you are a swarthy, arabian looking fellow named Sahib with a one way ticket, you go right through, no wuaestions asked. To reverse the treatment would be racist and racially profiling, what most of us normal folks would call paying attention to the most likely threat.

   That is the steriotype. I have never witnessed anything like that, but I generally only fly about once a year, and only if there is no other reasonable alternative. The Transportation Secuirity Administration with whom I have dealt have always been courteous and answered any question I asked. Some of their rules are a bit onerous like no fingernail clippers and similar small somewhat sharp metalic items allowed.

   I am not surprised. Around here the cats eat the dog food, the chickens eat it, the goats eat it, the donkey eats it, heck I imagine that if I put a little milk on it, the grandkids would probably eat it too. The poor dog has to fight for every morsel. THat said the 150# Great Pyr can hold his own and seldom goes hungry.

   Since none of these weapons are clip fed, I assume you are referring to the magazine capacity?

   They’re not? Then how do my calves become steaks and my pigs the sausage I just enjoyed for breakfast?

   -114 C or -173 F, but mixing it with water yields:

   •24 proof (13% EtOH) liquor freezes at -6.7°C (20°F) •64 proof (36%) liquor freezes at -23.33°C (-10°F) •84 (47%) proof liquor freezes at -34.44°C (-30°F)

   Somewhere I have a picture of my Collie mix, Ranger, Calico cat, Calli, and Game Cock looking Rooster, Elvis all laying in a ball in the front yard sound asleep. The dog is on his side, legs extended, cat curled up between his legs laying against him and the rooster is perched on top of the dog. They were a neighborhood attraction for a whole summer.

    Oh baby! Memories! 0600 Red eye TWA Lambert St Louis to Washington National. Wheels up, Sausage and eggs, OJ Coffee, very attentive and good looking Stewardi (stewardesses?) a short nap, and the DIVE DIVE into National pray that they caught the arresting cable the first time. What an airline! What a splendid way to travel. Much pre Karl Icon.
