My guess is that people scavenged the ark for wood to construct houses, etc. So there would have been nothing left after a few years.

I worked a summer job many years ago with a construction crew laying new storm sewer pipe in a residential area. They were pulling up and cutting water lines, sanitary sewer lines, etc. with the backhoe on virtually a daily basis.

People voted for Trump because he promised an America First foreign policy and cheap gas at the pumps. That's not what Trump has delivered, and the elections are the chance for voters to show their displeasure.

Very true, which is why my home state of Ohio may become blue in the governor’s house and in the US Senate race.

And it didn’t have to happen, if Trump had stayed out of the Mideast mess.

Another Belichick son is taking over the DC duties for now. Looks like UNC has become a jobs program for the Belichick family and friends. Wonder how the alumni feel about that.

My first two cars were stick shift. A ‘69 VW bug that I drove in college, and wish I still had, and a Mazda GLC. GLC stood for great little car, which it was anything but that.

No. Ohio has a GOP supermajority in the state legislature, she will not pass anything. Ohio will survive 4 years of Acton.

That is kind of what I’m thinking as well. Gridlock wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

Wasn’t there something in the news about Harry supposedly lying about previous drug use on his visa application? I wonder if that was going to blow up and he was concerned about being kicked out of the country.

Reading stories like this makes me glad that I live in the Midwest only a few miles from one of the Great Lakes.

I have had a Giant Eagle shopper’s loyalty card for several years. I’ve noticed that I have been getting a lot more spam emails lately. Wonder if the Kroger takeover is the reason why.

My wife and I have some friends that just returned from a cruise on the Danube that was booked last year. Several places, they had to exit the boat and take a bus to the next spot on the river where it was safe to navigate. They got a bunch of money refunded to them.

Brings to mind the cliff dive that Elvis (actually his stuntman) did in the movie Fun in Acapulco. The dive was about 135 feet high according to Wikipedia.

I have accepted the fact that I will live my entire life and will never see my hometown Cleveland team win a World Series title. The last time the team won the series was in 1948, nine years before I was born. 78 years and counting.

Celeste Keaton, not Diane. LOL

When pulling into a parking lot, I always try to park so I can pullout going forward instead of having to back out, even if it means parking further away from the store entrance. You’re right, I have had several close calls myself when walking through a parking lot.

Yeah, I can’t believe the Dems would go with Kamala again. My prediction is Newsome/AOC will be the ticket.

They go to every library in the country...paid for by you and me.

Absolutely correct. Thirty years ago, when Al Franken published his book on Rush Limbaugh, I remember seeing five new copies of the book on the shelves in my local library in the Cleveland suburbs. Multiply that by hundreds of libraries around the country and you have a bestseller.

At the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium they used to paint the dirt green when the field was too torn up.

I remember taking a tour of Capital Hill back in the ‘70s when I was 19, and being duly impressed by all the good-looking young women I saw walking around. I totally understood why there were so many scandals in the news.

I had this book as a child. Must of read it dozens of times.
