Guessing some of it is an older married person who wants to keep the partner from finding it. They store it away and suddenly die and no one knows about it so it gets auctioned
No argument on the cost but if you have a complicated prescription (-9 and astigmatism) then mail order is probably a crapshoot. I use progressive lenses since I need reading correction and those with a high index lens are the highest prices. I may try to get a mail order pair someday but have no idea where they will put the transition points without me sittting there. On the other hand I buy cheap readers on line for wearing with contacts
Know the feeling. In 2013 I did a reverse endo on Picnic - basically tried to pull the front up over something while going uphill and went backwards on a cedar tree and stump. Had a really nice slash across the kidney for a few weeks
Will always remember growing up and NASA testing that engine. We lived about ten miles from the stand and it shook the house and windows like a large earthquake - plus a huge amount of noise came with it. You never knew when they would light on either.
Living here in Huntsville and growing up with other rocket scientist kids - this is absolutely true and a shame. Most of the engineers from Saturn are long gone. Went to an estate sale last week just because it was one of the top German scientists and I wanted to see what was in his house. To echo ramjets comments - about 20 years ago IBM had a meeting at the space center and a veteran of Apollo and I were looking at the Saturn flight package that IBM built. Guy was part of it and told me it was interesting to work on something that if you screwed up would probably kill a group of astronauts.
Even Nixon tried to release his recordings as an edited transcript and Supreme Court said that wasn't going to fly. I don't remember him claiming executive privilege so it may not be a valid comparison.
From what I have been reading on other forums there is a distinct shortage of Rolex sports models. Apparently most dealers have Datejusts and other similar. On the other hand I haven't liked many of the Rolex line in last few years - too big and too much added bling. Very happy with my older Sub
Considering that Watergate was not full of Mensa candidates that is saying a lot. The initial burglars got caught because they taped a door lock. Except they taped it with the tape going horizontal instead of on the edge. And after the guard found it and removed the tape they replaced it and the guard found it again and called the cops. Kinda obvious there.
By loaded I meant - of the 15 only 2 jump out as why are they there. I agree there are only a few sure things but the rest of the players are very high calibre with exception of
maybe James or Seymour.
Showing my age but it's cool to see what they did without all the CGI and special effects that every network seems to add these days. However the first down line is very cool
That's why you find a way to attach the garage door opener to the bike after putting it up there. Of course that rule didn't help a friend who did all that and then hit a low hanging tree limb
