Do peoplevstill have silhouettes drawn traced of their shadow profiles? You know, as a cheaper alternative than painted portraits. Haven’t heard much about silhouette drawing latelt.

Not w/o Michael Buffer to announce them.

Is Rex Reed still around? I always liked his reviews.

Yesterday. But it’s now only once or twice a month. I can’t remember the last time I re-ordered paper duplicate checks.

A lot, and if you looked at NATO bearing equally proportional percentages of GDP on defence, it becomes even more to justify.

“Who is going to make those decisions?” The ethical answer is yes, and we should trust parents— and no one else—to make those decisions.

The same parents whom 67% of now choose to abort based upon prenatal diagnosis of Down’s?

Didn’t some businesses employ temporary Illegals and when it got close to payday, they called Immigration Enforcement to pick them up and deport them before they had to pay them?
I saw where one guy said that he found out his illegal Mexican girlfriend was pregnant by him so he had her picked up and deported. Ethical interesting dilemmas.

By the term Heat Engines, does this include Stirling engines that you can buy or make miniature working models of?

Was it Sharks vs Jets?

That look. That look you get after you get in the van and there is no candy.

For too many it gets reinforced from an early age onward, that they are expected to have this uncertainty about life AND seek help for it. It”s not a good habit to reinforce in people. These people will not be able to take care of themselves in a real crisis. And won’t be any help to others.

We had a red 1975 or 76 cordoba when I wad a kid. White Corinthian leather interior.

And Moonbase Alpha watched over stored nuclear energy waste.
Until it exploded one day in such a forceful manner that it nudged our Moon out of its Earth orbital gravity lock and sent it moving away from Earth to parts unknown. Was a great watch back then for a kid named me.

If they can refer to them as inactive, does that mean we know for certain that they did not vote in person or absentee, using that name?

I read that Comey feigned ignorance of the eliminate or kill usage of the term 86, but then it came to light he had previously made postings about 86ing this and 86ting that in contexts that contradicted his claim of ignorance. As part of the FBI, he would certainly know the darker connotation of the term. I don’t think they expected President Trump to be so resilient and still be around now. Oops for them.

Would not wish congestive heart failure upon anyone. While there are more and better treatments, and we know some prevention, it is a fatal progressive disease that kills many each year. I had many symptoms of it for a while with a failing heart valve; they replaced the valve and the symptoms vanished. I consider myself lucky and graced by God with extra time to do more and better things on Earth.

I learned Fortran on punch cards and punch card readers mid ‘70s. Digital Equipment Corporation PDP8. Reel to reel tape. Rocker switches on the front.

Didn’t Costner have that ‘urine back into water thing’ solved
In ‘Waterworld’? ( otherwise known as Kevin’s Gate )

Thank you. I had not read most of that.
