While some would alarm all-around abating a theory, others would alarm it a accurate set of facts. Opinions alter vehemently. Let us accede all-around abating to be both a apriorism that the ambiance of the apple as we apperceive it is slowly, but actual absolutely accretion in all-embracing air and baptize temperature, and a affiance that if whatever is causing this trend is not disconnected or challenged activity on apple will dynamically be affected.

Tentatively, March 21st-30th. When I put my chit in, that’s what I’m going to ask for. Garcia’s going 13th-20th, so it will work out standby-wise. We haven’t put in any chits yet, because she still has to work out plane tickets and stuff.
Maybe you can order one from Coast Guard Surplus. If a few of the countries are out of date, it might be on Super Markdown.
Dona Edra called to say we should watch the Gala for the installation of the President of Spain as European Union President on the TV-Spain streaming video. She hates the President’s guts, but the do has good music.
I hated overhead projectors AND pull-down maps. With my last name, I was always in the back of the class and very myopic.
They had those in boot camp, too. None of them ever worked. One of my CCs got pissed off and broke one.
Hello An!
Good to “see” you on-line.
(Robt wonders what you’ll do with your USCG-boot-camp-approved haircut now that you’re out and earning wages. Then again, you probably had more room and privacy as a boot.... Snicker, snicker. (Ex-submariner jibe at “large” and spacious USCG ships.))
LOL!
Easy to do!
I kept it. I’m lazy and dislike messing with my hair when I could be off doing other things. Hair more than four inches long is a pain. I’d have gotten a high-and-tight, like the males, but the GMC that was one of my company commanders wouldn’t let me. Plus, this way, I only have to get a haircut once every four or five months. So I’ll get another one before we go underway again, and it’ll last me till December.
Practical - I think St Ronnie would prefer mine a bit longer, but I’m wearing a hardhat 12 twelve hours a day and it just doesn’t work ...
You topside and in the weather and wet and cold, or hot and sweaty and noisy in the engineroom, or freezing in the dark in radio or CIC?
Me, too. That’s why I got glasses when I was 12.

This is the link to the Spanish Gala. The first performance starts at about 10 minutes in (after the introductions of the Dignitaries) and is a killer flamenco piece, music and dance. Then there’s a ballet.
My books from Ignatius Press came!
I got them when I was seven, but my eyes got so bad so quickly that I could never see the board by Christmas break.
There were three of us kids with glasses, plus both my parents, and I have no idea how my parents managed to pay for them all.
Sounds like fun, aside from the flat-voiced government radio guy talking Spanish. Hopefully he’ll shut up during the program. He keeps reminding the watcher that it starts in ten minutes. Also something about the media.

I’m second oldest of nine, and all the blue-eyed kids needed glasses, none of the brown-eyes/green-eyed kids did.... So ‘splain me that one.
Anyway, all of us went through the same second and third grade teachers at ole St Thomas Moore in San Antonio - soon as they saw another Cook kidlet coming through the door, we got either a front-row seat, or a back row seat. Then got glasses in a few weeks after that and we all got moved to the back row.

(Got any 5’s?)
Everyone in my family has dark brown eyes but me. Mine are green. (Goes better with auburn hair, yes?)
My dad’s eyes were blue, but my mother’s were so dark you couldn’t tell pupil from iris.
In the late ‘90’s, my vision was 775/20 in the right eye and 700/20 in the left. I have to put glasses on to find my glasses. ;o]
After the show starts, there’s no announcements except at the beginning of each piece.
It’s alternating classical ballet with flamenco performances. Great stuff!
The ballet isn’t very interesting, but I like the flamenco piece with dancing pretty well.
After the first ballet, there’s another flamenco piece with incredible drumming. Bill will have to see it! He’s freezing his clavicles with the Boy Scouts this weekend.
