  1. Hi John, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Wendy, His a totally vacuous person. He had never been a leader in politics. I won't miss him. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi John, I could not access that link; here is another approach: Trump Tower, one of the largest users of Chicago River water, sued again by state after failing to meet EPA rules to protect fish (yahoo.com) Jerry Baumchen PS) And this from the link: the Trump International Hotel & Tower is the only Chicago high-rise that has failed to document the measures it took to protect fish and aquatic life in the river.
  4. Hi jakee, There is an old French saying that goes something like this: As one contemplates one's impending execution, it tends to focus one's attention. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the last time Trump said anything positive about anyone? Other than himself, of course. Trump mocks Pelosi in California speech - POLITICO Trump’s attack on Milley fuels special counsel’s push for a gag order - POLITICO IMO it simply is not in his DNA. Jerry Baumchen PS) And to think some people want him back into the White House. Maybe Joe should sic Commander on him.
  6. Hi folks, Looks like someone has had that come to jesus moment: Trump co-defendant pleads guilty in Georgia, becoming first to reach plea deal in election-subversion case - POLITICO I fully expect more as this goes forward. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi lippy, Me thinks you ask too much. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi folks, Not that it was unexpected: Sen. Dianne Feinstein has died : NPR It will be interesting to see who Newsom puts up. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Robert, In some circles, that could be an experienced gunman: Teacher shot by 6-year-old says school was warned 4 times, announces lawsuit - ABC News (go.com) Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi John, For the entirety of his political life Biden has supported union workers more than any other politician that I know of. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi folks, Anyone who thinks Biden is senile has not been paying attention to when Trump talks without a script. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi winsor, I'm with you. There has never been a conviction when the Senate has voted. It is just a show. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi jakee, As had been said many times here: You cannot fix some people Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi Mark, From your link: the majority of the American people understand the 2020 election was stolen Must have polled people in mental health facilities. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi folks, Interesting: National Drive Electric Week Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Robert, From your link: he fined five defense lawyers $7,500 each as punishment for “engaging in repetitive, frivolous” arguments As we go along, it is probable that every Trump lawyer will be ponying up some money. Poor fools. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi nutt, ParaFlite, who first developed them, said to replace every year. They did not put this in any of their manuals, but it was their position on this. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Joe, One other option: A soldier standing guard in the proceedings was ordered to take the Ceaușescus outside one by one and shoot them, but the Ceaușescus demanded to die together. The soldiers agreed to this and began to tie their hands behind their backs, which the Ceaușescus protested against, but were powerless to prevent. The Ceaușescus were executed by a group of soldiers: Captain Ionel Boeru, Sergeant-Major Georghin Octavian and Dorin-Marian Cîrlan,[66] while reportedly hundreds of others also volunteered. Nicolae Ceaușescu - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi Joe, Given: The T engine was known for its simplicity, reliability, and economy. I think that a fair amount of them could have moved into Model T mechanics. They were very simple engines: Ford Model T engine - Wikipedia I think it's a lot different today, where a 50-55 yr old person employed in manual labor, is hoping to move into the high tech world. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Wendy, I've often wondered what a farrier, working in Detroit in Oct 1908, might have thought as he watched all of those Model T's coming out of the factory. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi airdvr, And, Trump would have left them behind even earlier than Biden did. Jerry Baumchen PS) There are many casualties in war; all types of wars & all types of casualties.
  22. Hi Bill, Spot on. This is exactly what my original post was all about. I am a ret'd engineer [ but, I am still an engineer, that will never change ] and I love new technology. The big BUT is what about those that have been replaced? As you said, the $64,000 question. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi Joe, Wasn't Slim riding that baby into Moscow? Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Joe, IMO parenthood & grandparenthood brings a joy that no other human activity can surpass. Jerry Baumchen PS) As to what I think you are alluding to: Yes, the days of 8 - 10 offspring needs to be behind us. My mom & dad were both one of eight. I have two children & each of my children have one each.
  25. Hi Bill, That is the gist of my original post. I won't be around as the problem becomes one that cannot be avoided; but, I think my children will. If not them, then my grandchildren. Putting one's head in the sand does not solve any problem. Jerry Baumchen PS) While I am glad I did not have one of those mindless jobs, they did provide a good wage & brought us the success of the middle class.
