Today has been a sucky day for a local family that lives very near to me. On 12/30 at 4:13am they woke up to smoke alarms going off and the downstairs on fire They made it out ok. However the pets did not. (house is a total loss) They got the fire out by 11:30am. At 9:12pm the house was on fire again.

Wow - bad day. Help them out if you can.
Good to see you back, Jeff.

Follow up to this, they got the 2nd fire put out by 1:30am. They are still looking into what started the fire both times. I will update as I know more.

So today I got 22mpg in a Dodge Cummins Dually... Not bad. On a 300 mile road trip.
Hey that is pretty good. My '96 F-150 with V-6 has only ran at 17mpg at best. Most of the time 15-16.
Skiing since 1977, snowboarding since 1989

So Today Got a report from Operations that there was an American flag hanging from tower 6 of one of our lifts. So I go up and see that indeed someone had climbed the tower sometime after 5pm last night and 7 am this morning and zip-tied a flag to the bottom of the cat-walk on the heavy side. So I asked our line clear person ( top operator ) if he noticed it when he went up. He did not, not good. But the first patrolers up notice it. So I had to remove it as the chair bails were hitting the flag. I was affraid that the flag would get caught as a chair went by. Whoever put it up picked hard tower to climb as it has an uphill cant and is fairly tall. Not wanting to be unpatriotic we reinstalled it at the top terminal off the front deck.

Senior in High School- Yokohama, Japan. With the time change it was Saturday morning and I was on my way to my early morning job delivering the Weekly Housing Bulletin- a periodical that the US Navy printed each week for families living in Military Housing in Yokohama. We were totally shocked and as we passed my home I had our driver stop and I woke my parents and told them.
We didn't have any "American" TV at that time, so all of our news was via AFN- Armed Forces Network radio.
As you can imagine, the Military community was in turmoil.

Sitting in class in grade 1, I still remember my teacher choking up while trying to explain what had happened. Then watching the news before dinner (in B&W) Even in Canada, it affected everyone profoundly, I still wonder, what the face of the world be like now, had this never happened..............

45 today since Apollo 8 circled the Moon and read back to Earth from the book of Genesis.
I was kinda single-celled back then, but some of you must have first-hand memories of the event
(OK, second-hand since to my knowledge no astronauts qualified for SORT membership).

Yes - in fact I watched every moment of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions ... many on a black and white TV.
