You’re probably right. Hillary wouldn’t take turns with anybody would she?

I think Hillary would go with anything that would have her....However I think Huma handles her rather well. Or Huma can dodge ashtrays etc easily.

"There sure was a large amount of smoke from the event."

Low level white smoke indicates a hobby level. From the smoke in the pictures it looks like a hobby rocket was fired. Very amateurish.

Every army/navy store has hundreds of that modern shell container. Hard to trace. You don't have to give a name or anything to buy one of those tin cans.

This guy/gal is a sure amateur with a decent AM plan.

Not trying to be arguementitive, but do you think a hobby rocket could have produced that much damage to the door?

Absolutely. In fact the bomber got lucky to do that much damage in that container. I don't know but I bet the container survived in-tact.

Your not argumenative at all. In fact yours is a good question.

I am by far no expert on this subject. I have just watched too many kids play around with powder and rockets and the white smoke plume that I saw was similar. Even when I threw grenades in the Army the smoke was grey. When the big guns did their thing the smoke was black.

White is sissy smoke.

I think you’re being too literal. It was a joke. Don’t beat it to death.

I was joking back...However Huma is alawys calm, cool, & has style. She does her job well. Plus she looks good doing it. That I am not joking about...Huma could be a model.

Considering what I suspect her actual "job" really is, I, for one, hopes she doesn't do it well...

Thanks for posting this link. It’s a very dangerous job. One can only imagine what our troops have to deal with everyday, and they don’t have the hi-tech devices the NYPD does. Wow.

Thanks for the PING Drango and Flyer.

I’m working 14-hour days for about the next 2 weeks. Keep me posted! Thanks.

I had not thought of that as her actual job, but I think you are correct. She must have nerves of steel to have to deal with that woman. And I agree with everything you said!

IIRC, the bomb was supposed to be planted in the library at Columbia University according to (then NYC Chief of Detectives) Al Seedman’s biography, “Chief.” They were trying to distill the dynamite and concentrate it when it exploded.

It depends on how you pack the charge. The smoke from a muzzleloader with a bullet is gray, the smoke from a blank charge is fairly white. Since it doesn’t build up full pressure, the combustion isn’t complete. The last place I remember that a person could buy black powder in that area was a gun store in North Haledon, New Jersey, but I’m sure there’s someone on Long Island that sells it, too.
