We had the pipes freeze one year.

The temp went below freezing for a couple of days and they don't bury the water lines too deep here. What a pain not having running water.

SAM, I saw The Al Jolson Story with Larry Parks (1946) once in the 'fifties as a black and white late show. Ted Danson's blackface antics with Whoopie Goldberg recently resulted in a firestorm of Hollywood underwear-bunching.

AntiJen, I went with a lady in college some decades ago whose migraines caused blurred vision, ringing ears, incapacitating nausea and vomiting. It's a term which commands respect to those who know it.

Dave, Kellogg's offered Navy frogmen as cereal box bonuses in 1955 and I collected the set. Did the Russians refuse international assistance in the Kursk disaster because they put security above the lives of their people--or did they know they were already dead?

Chad, the Greenpeace movement deserves all the sabotage it gets--its net effect is to the great detriment of all species great and small, consistent with the entire Kaczynski-Gore global-warming/Kyoto scam.

The Navy and its divers are a bold history of truly going where no man has gone before.

My good friend through high school was very big on the Riviera Club swim team (Indy, AntiJen, another 'fifties blast) who went Navy subs. I think he had gill slits, I really do. And later, he trained nuclear power plant operators--oooh, China Syndrome with Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Jack Lemmon and Wilfred Brimley as Gary the Glowing Fuel Rod.
