During the Italian Campaign my father was a scout/radio man for the 45th Thunderbird Division mostly made up of Native Americans of the Four Corners. He told me when ever he was sent to a forward position he always had a Native American to communicate, with their native tongue, vital information to command. Do not ask me how a son of a fisherman from Provincetown, Mass. ended up with the 45th. Past Anzio and on the road to Rome in a forward location he was hit by a nearby artillery shell, was critically injured and his native American partner was killed.
One of the very few things he related to me about the war.

I was doing some bench work on vintage stereos while laid off back in the 90’s. I used the beginning of “Round About” I recorded and repeated on a cassette tape to tune the Finals in. Worked great and cheaper than a signal generator LOL.

A Fun related story:
My Dad was a born and raised in Provincetown, son of a Portuguese fisherman. His Massachusetts dialect remained strong still after 40 years living in Central NY. During a time, my wife was recovering from brain surgery my parents stepped in to help. My Dad took care of my 4 year old daughter during the daytime. When my daughter entered to school, a year later, the teacher told me of her strange “dialect”. I said Boston? She said yes!

Queen Latifah as “The Equalizer”. ROTFLMAO!
Every time I see the commercial for that farce with her supposedly jumping off a fire escape, I can't help myself wonder how far she "bounces" back up! LOL
Question from a dedicated lurker since the beginning.
Why is the indictment not being presented before arraignment? What is in it? Monkey Werx noted the previous 17 count conviction of Trumps CFO, Allen Weisselberg . Could this be part of the 34” business fraud” counts? Is this a real trap to incarcerate Trump with possibly no bail (flight Risk)?
