What isn’t mentioned here is that work crews had removed some access panels to do work inside the structure. If I remember correctly, there was some weather and it sank. I remember the entire city was all like, “Shit!” when it went down as that was one of the main connections to Seattle.

Left Purdue for Christmas break back around 1993. I thought it would be fun to take Amtrak from Lafayette to Minneapolis. The engine broke down outside of Chicago and we sat for a couple of hours waiting for a pull into the station in a cold dark train.

$64K isn’t too bad. Elan has been around for a long while so odds are you would have support for some time time to come.

Came to post this, left satisfied when I saw your post.

This movie has Estrada in it or it doesn't happen.

As vehicles evolve away from traditional internal combustion propulsion systems, how are we going to convince designers to get away from unneeded design features like grills and vents?

First, Oppo bows down to you. Second Buxton and Jason Swales are both cool dudes who see the humor in F1, so good call.

You know it was kicked off by our very own McMike, right?

Seriously, Shockwave was about the only competent Decepticon.

Much more serious.

It's pretty good. The pacing is slower than modern shows though.

True! There are a couple of ways we could take the conversation. We could say, “ Well, Star Wars and who knows what tech they have and they have shields and who know what that would do and what about Midi-chlorians?” or we could go down the factual physics road and realize that pretty much none of the ships would…

Space Battleship Yamato (Starblazers). Basically what it says on the can. A battleship. In space. I LOVED this cartoon when I was a kid, but even I acknowledge that it makes no sense to convert a sunken WWII battleship into an interstellar spacecraft.

They could have just flown the fighters (A, B, X) as they are capable of handling the cold of interstellar space. Looking at the new trailers they are apparently maneuverable enough as well.

Infinite Improbability Drive. Like much of the Hitchhikers Guide it was never intended for it to make sense.

Rainier.

NAS Whidbey certainly has one of the most diverse operations areas. Within 100 miles there is ocean, rain forest, mountains, glaciers and desert. The Air Station is a good neighbor to the folks on the island as well.

We have a Mini Cooper and two kids. When I only have one kid with me I often load them through the hatch. I guess I will take the risk of getting the po-po called on me.

I grew up in Maple Valley, WA, one town over from SIR. When the NHRA was in town we could hear the top fuel cars from our house. We were 10-15 miles away. It was glorious. Saw my first pro drag race there. My folks vollenteered there in the 70s.
