That’s dandy, but I wish someone would do something to rescue and rehabilitate the S.S. United States. Many plans to do so have been put forth, but so far nothing has happened.

Hydrox is the first and best.

I love posts like this. I worked for 45 years at a succession of three R&D firms, 30 years at the last one alone. I’d worry about maximizing my productivity to stay relevant, and generally obsessed about every minute of every day.

From the Gardenigloo web page: “...no screws are are required for assembly.” The package includes 40 screws. Just saying...

Sam’s my hero not only because of his many iconic acting roles, but because he got Katherine Ross to marry him.

Fun fact: the microphone in the lead photo is a Shure 55. Introduced in 1939, it is still manufactured and widely used today. It is sometimes called the “Elvis Mic” for the King’s preference for it; it was pictured with him in a commemorative stamp.

I my own personal self have used an outhouse, the real deal in rural Mississippi in the early ‘50s. It was just a wooden seat with a hole in it over a hole in the ground filled with years worth of shit. I’m here to tell you, even a Port-A-Potty is a downtown Hilton in comparison.
