Don't forget the public health threat from the bans. The increase in dog waste that is no longer being picked up in “bag ban” towns. These bags are one of the most re-purposed items we have.
The Coast Guard originally was under the Treasury Dept, later transferred to DOT and presently the DHS. Founded in 1790 as the Revenue Cutter or Revenue Marine. In 1915 it was combined with the Lifesaving Service and became the Coast Guard. It is the nations oldest continuous maritime service. in times of peace it serves under the DHS and during war, at the direction of the President, it serves under the US Navy. The CG, although a military service, operates under a civilian agency due to it’s unique law enforcement duties, among other reasons.
The CG through it’s unique history has traditionally operated without fanfare, so being ‘unknown” or forgotten about is pretty much SOP and not a big deal to most of us.
Carry on.

The USCG tried these in the 80’s and finally scrapped them all with nothing to show but crewman with profound hearing loss and blown out knees. Hopefully they’ve solved the noise/vibration problems.

Although the cg is considered a military branch, it is a law enforcement agency. It is not subject to the PC act because it is part of a civiian agency,currently DHS.

I used to live in Mattituck. There a lot of summer homes and when the summer people leave, often they leave that cute puppy obtained in June, behind in August, by late September and October, they have formed packs and roam the areas.

Good luck, I don’t think anyone has ever opposed him. I’ve been writing in Mickey Mouse for as long as I can remember. I’ll keep you in mind. And as Eagle as said, you should really ask permission, they don’t like it when you run against liberals.
