Plan B Forum

One thing Meade--I do give Reagan credit for promoting a technology he did not understand; why this translates to credit in any way for an invention is beyond me. I ttink we should develop a warp drive se we can travel above the speed of light and travel the stars. I have no idea how this will be ac...

Because, if it had, someone would already have gone back in time and strangled Trump in his crib.

Yes, there were antiballistic missile systems in place in the 60s and an ABM treaty was entered into while LBJ was president; I recall Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) which involved a shell game of mobile antiballistic missiles that were shuttled around so "they" wouldn't know where they...

Not to mention a working time machine when it is completed.

One thing in that drawing--it looks like Trump's hands are much bigger than his life size hands are.

And even if "star wars" does work, what did Reagan do--make a speech about something I doubt he understood much about? It's kind of like saying FDR made the first atomic bomb.

Wordle is getting near 100,000 as well, and it's only been around for 2 years or so.

Agreed, so long as the demand exists and the profit is high enough, someone will always supply it. It's pretty simple, but people keep arguing to provide increased funding for the "fight" (maybe even start wars with our military) rather than do the obvious and address this demand/profit side.

Andy--as I recall, it was the prosecution, not the defense, who asked him to try on the gloves, pretty silly of them, but they had no right to cross examine him afterwards. He did just what they asked him to do; a big mistake on their part to ask that (one of many); I think it played will with the j...

I will not mourn his passing; he seemed to be a complete jerk. However, given the state of race relations at the time (remember that Korean shop owner who shot and killed a 15 year old black girl (shot her in the back of the head while she was leaving) and got 5 years probation? Just one of many exa...

You may be right Sue; I've long thought that this conspiracy idiocy would run its course and people would tire of it and move on. Sadly, the opposite appears to be true, it's only getting worse.

Depends what you're looking for; Malaga gives you the city(I can't speak for the symphonies, Marbella the luxury seaside resort, Torremolinos a place where a lot of English is spoken (mostly British ex pats--at least it used to be), but most places along the southern coast are nice. I'd suggest taki...

sounds good; where are you thinking of relocating to? Andalusia is a great place with a lot of different seaside towns (and some nice ones inland as well--I really love Ronda. And if you are there is 27, I would suggest taking the high speed ferry to Tangier--a lot more open space than Gibraltar.

I'll be a bit older than that if I'm still around. I've seen many people that in great shape in their late 80s, even their 90s, but as you get older the chances of that are reduced--but I can hope, I guess.

I'll catch the next one, I guess.

In 20 years? I like to think I would still be here and able to travel to see it, but I'm not so sure if either would be in the cards.

Glad you enjoyed it; I thought about doing something similar, but couldn't get away (I'll substitute the Northern Lights instead). We had a partial eclipse or a little over 90% and I just sat on my deck watching it without looking at the sun (I didn't have the glasses either). When it was near its p...

Just when I had finally forgotten that stupid clippy...
