SSBN 643 USS George Bancroft, here. Lots of memories. Had a friend when we were non qual pukes grease gunned during the scavenger hunt on halfway night. He almost deserved it😂. ( I suspect about him, but the NIS didn’t, that he murdered my girlfriend while I was on leave, because while he was away at school, we became boyfriend/girlfriend). As a non qual, I had to pull the cherry out of an engineman’s fat belly navel to find out where I had to go next on the scavenger hunt. Great incentive to get qualified and dolphins pinned on.
Asimov was right about many things,
He even warned us we needed laws of Robotics.
Unfortunately people in various military think tanks have decided that is really a good idea.
I don’t know about Washington state, but the paper mills near lake Erie in the 70s pumping out yellow smoke were rank.
P.S Did you know the state of washington was founded by a Caring and conservative Black man named George W Bush who was going to settle in Oregon but they kicked him out cause they were Racist ?
iirc in Bush Prarie (named after him) there is one of the oldest apple trees in that state
Paper mills are all the same when it comes to the stink and smoke - I think the ones on the Olympic Peninsula were all forced to install mitigation systems so the smoke is no longer yellow. but the liquor ponds still stink.
I was under the impression, wrongly I guess, that WA state was once part of the Oregon Territories and was separated in the Monticello Convention in 1889.
Never heard of the Bush guy in that connection. Didn’t he later go on to be the 43rd President of the US?
In zero G everything must get sticky.
I have a short 11 mile commute to work. Yesterday, I passed 5 dead skunks. It must be mating season. Switched from 'Fresh' to 'Recirculate' this morning.
