  1. Your story on pi is epic! These radar sites were huge investments...with one in the UK, one in Alaska, and one in sunny* Thule[that part of Eric the Red's Paradise too cold for the Norse]. My Dad worked with computers and the BMEWS projects for RCA sixty years ago. He flew over to Fylingdales Moor, he called it, and considered moving our family of 6 there from Kansas. He was going to enroll us all in the schools, buy a new Spitfire to put around in, and live the Hi Life in England. Instead, he chose the BMEWS site in Clear, Alaska and we wound up driving the 3,700 miles in winter for the move.
  2. They're Baaaaack: This Just In: "A large boulder the size of a large boulder is blocking the southbound lane Hwy 145 mm28 in Stoner Creek area of Montezuma County. Expect delays." #largeboulder pic.twitter.com/9WJ1nKB67Q — San Miguel Sheriff (@SheriffAlert) February 5, 2021
  3. 47 Years ago I was in my last year of university and drove a 1962 Metropolitan, a kind of mixed-race product of a Nash and an Austin...badged at various times as a Nash, Hudson and AMC. This isn't me....but that's pretty close to what my car and I looked like. Stand aside, Roger Moore, I will soon be squiring Jane Seymour and/or Barbara Bach around in my Babe Magnet!
  4. 'Round here, AI refers to a different way to propagate cattle. Glad your PM is on the up and up about animal husbandry!
  5. An actress named Rita La Roy and her front-wheel-drive Ruxton:
  6. ... I believe this is male fantasy #314. If your interests include finding a woman with an ace taste in cars, this might be the ticket. I think this may be Judy Garland when the money started coming in.
  7. The prairie dog attraction I mentioned on I-70 is <sadly> defunct....but here's a piccie and a tourist review of the 8,000-pound concrete critter & pit stop you missed. A plywood wall prevented one from viewing the main attraction from the highway until $9.50 was handed over. Some say a rival to this world's largest prairie dog exists in South Dakota. David Attenborough might say: "Stonehenge, Easter Island, the monument to Ramses II. Now America can claim it's place in monumental sculpture!" mamabutterfly4cage Oakley, Kansas 22 Reviewed August 7, 2017 Closed This location has been closed for several years. It was never worth a visit even when it was open. It was a total tourist trap. It should be deleted from existence altogether. Date of experience: August 2017 ...
  8. I enjoyed watching the excitement, grizz. I'd be in 7th heaven going to the UK -- so good to see the reverse in your case. I'm from Kansas-Land so was wondering how that went on on the errand to pick up some Thirties car. It's a long way from Chi-town to anywhere in Kansas! It's a long way from Kansas City to anywhere in Kansas. Unlike the UK, Kansas has the Geographical Center of the USA, the Wrld's Largest Prairie Dog*, and The World's Largest Hand-Dug Well(you'd think that was a 3rd-World Accolade). I almost got to take a free trip to England 9 years ago -- but chose to back out for ethical reasons(long story).
  9. The first series of Illustrations of Lasses Used To Sell Cars were The Peerless Girls...appearing in 1903 through 1905. One was so shocking as to show an exposed ankle and they all were in motoring attire. [Shocking!]
  10. ....Actress Goldie Hawn again and a Ferrari Mondial.
