  1. Helicopters scare me in general. Even at best, they are managed chaos. Give me a nice, single-engine plane ride any day.
  2. Congrats to you and your young bride!
  3. Smithsonian Aerospace is incredible. Was last there for Reagan's funeral with my then 16 year old daughter (no pics) -- daughter was so thrilled to see Margaret Thatcher IRL as we entered the Capitol Rotunda -- we were in the front of the line to get in to pay our respects.
  4. Thank you. My black daughter in law thanks you and my bi-racial granddaughter may thank you once she learns some more words. Isn't there a way to disagree without being disagreeable and hostile?
  5. Really odd that I get negged for posting a news article. OK, whatever.
  6. I didn't do an exhaustive search, but it seems that there have been way more significant attacks attempted previously. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/us-capitol-attack-history-1.5863856
  7. Thanks for the feedback, Penelope. I enjoy your travel posts a bunch.
  8. Thanks, but I'm a grown man and my Mom died over a decade age. Successful, business-wise. Married for over 40 years to my first wife. Father of two adult children and a grandfather. But other than that, you have totally nailed who I am. It is my belief that this prime-time hearing is total Kabuki theater to provide cover for the disaster that is Joe Biden. Seriously -- what can you say that is positive about Joe Biden's presidency? Looking forward to the reasoned discussion.
  9. And I've gotten middle fingers from 11 of you! Thanks.
  10. Thanks for the middle fingers. This is such a predictable Kabuki dance. Great that it is in prime time.
  11. So glad that all fifteen of you Surly's are watching this. Combined with thousands of others across the country, there is no doubt that this is the event that will really start to close in the walls on the prior POTUS.
  12. I almost always regret it when I wade into that cesspool, notwithstanding the merits of the instant discussion. There are a lot of unhappy people there. They all seem to be very proud of their middle finger.
  13. That said, there are more than 4,000 Blackhawks in service vs. a total of 481 Osprey's ever produced. Not a great look for the Osprey's safety record. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/sikorsky-black-hawk-helicopter.html#:~:text=The U.S. Army is the,2%2C135 H-60 designated aircraft. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lorenthompson/2022/04/08/production-of-the-v-22-osprey-is-ending-the-pentagon-needs-to-be-sure-it-has-bought-enough/?sh=1b5084fead9e
  14. I haven't done the research, but, anecdotally, those Osprey's seem to be rather prone to failure. RIP to the deceased Marines.
  15. When does the Surly contract with Lee Harvey's expire? We'll need to ask for some concessions, as well.
  16. Here's a good analysis of the Carbone's v. Carbone lawsuit, from D Magazine: https://www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2022/06/carbones-is-suing-carbone-what-happens-next/#more-000
  17. I don't think that Karine stays in this position through the mid-term election. My guess is that there will be a re-shuffle around Labor Day, if not before.
  18. Who needs a book? https://www.recipetineats.com/ https://www.vickypham.com/ https://bunbobae.com/ https://www.uyenluu.com/recipes/
  19. Adair's Saloon FTW in Deep Ellum for burgers! (But I get it that they are only open for lunch Friday to Sunday.)
  20. This development makes me very gruntled.
  21. Is Beach Volleyball not an NCAA women's sport?
