Holy shit!

Dunno, but I’ve read that with a tall tub like this your own buoyancy makes it fairly easy to ‘sit’ inside it without needing other support. It’s rather like the anime trope of having a hot bath in a steel drum.

“You’re not supposed to be here. This is a good neighborhood,”

You can get a tall bathtub insert for that full-immersion experience.

Aztecs sacrificed humans, making their blood run like water, to sate the appetite of the ancient evil long enough to build a sacred pyramidal prison over its ill-advised temple. They hoped that their pyramid would seal it in slumber forever.

What’s funny to me is that we’ve been in the “Space Age” for 60 years! It’s not exactly as impressive-sounding as it used to be.

. . . by eating rice?

So, it appears that we have our very own “Lebensborn” project!

“Ultimately, one of the most horrible sides of the Lebensborn policy was the kidnapping of children “racially good” in the eastern occupied countries after 1939. . . . it is well documented that many were stolen from their parents’ arms. . . .…

Our southern New Mexico home has solar panels, so even when the AC is running, our electric bill averages zero.

The detail you are missing is that the Trump Administration has no interest in getting results. They just want headlines.

I agree. That mound was constructed to direct the force out to sea, I am sure. Some really professional work there.

What was most unsettling about the journey was that I had no idea exactly how far I was walking or how long it would take to get to that elusive there.

Perhaps it was designed like a Medieval European city? Street layouts were made deliberately to create traps and pinch points against invaders, should they breach the city wall.

For the edification of those not from Southern California, you can read about the history of the Thomas Guide here. My parents had ones for Orange County, and they were worth the money. The only drawback was that nobody had the physical strength to carry both a Thomas Guide and a Sunday Los Angeles Times in their arms!

There is a case to be made for more mundane “Team Building” exercises, like the ‘Trust Fall’ or the ‘Blindfolded ropes course’.

Nick Cage? No! Bruce Willis!

Yeah, right. Johns Hopkins says it’s just ‘tuberculosis’, but we know that this is the opening scene from The Stand.

So . . . 30 years before The Jetsons?

If this were a movie, and the kids were American, then one or two would decide to ‘go for it’ and try to make the swim out to freedom in secret. One night, when everyone else is asleep, our stalwarts will take off their shirts and quietly slip into the water . . . never to be seen again.

I certainly hope that these…

No! This is a job for The Thunderbirds!
