Hi @howaya Thank you. An excellent question.
Yes, there were numerous tests at the Bikini Atoll, which is 225 miles from my work location. 'Course, I did have to believe that the DOD stated there was not any work hazard at the KWAJ. Over the years…
@hank I'm not an Apple user, but is the system (laptop?) set for 'auto update' for the IOS or do you need to manually check for system program(s) updates?

@DrVenture ET AL Here's an excellent live concert (free, Youtube, about 2 hours) with Tina Turner, Amsterdam, 1996. She moved like the wind, and was 56 at this concert. And the voice, YOW ! It will keep your full attention. The music and stagin…
@DrVenture 'Wicked Game'............back in the day when the production folks offered some very good music videos on MTV, the original video fully provides for the essence of the lyric.
@Mark Thank you for the Woody Guthrie link. I need to pass t…
Ha !!! I didn't count the number of times I cursed and gave him the big finger during that bullshit program. I suspect CBS and all of the entanglements caused them to 'air' such a shit show. What were they expecting ???
Hi @DrVenture Nice....Give Me Shelter. I've found, too; quite a few excellent mixes of cover songs. When a song title runs through the brain I will many times search for 'cover' songs.
MUSIC, the universal language................
@hank I'm 50/50 for instrumentation 'the character' of the mix; as well as the lyric. Some songs weight more in one direction. Some songs for me a 'road song' for driving upon the highway, volume set …
Hi @Observant1 In the early 70's, I was the only fella in the area who had high end hi-fi/stereo systems and the knowledge of equipment types and full setup. I became involved with many in quality equipment purchases and then the setup assistance. I…
I suspect that one's reading and involvement with all things at MFO can provide a full mental stimulant to support that side of brain health. The physical side of brain health can arrive from so many other aspects of an individuals choice, long term…

@Derf et al
College football, and to the 'FUN' side; check the link below. Some official State of Michigan maps in 1978/1979 had entries for 'two' fictious 'towns' in Ohio related to U-M and Ohio football. The Wiki link (first in the list) will pro…
Hi @Derf . I'm a MSU fan first from educational/geographic connection. But, I'll favor U-M against other teams. And Wisconsin. The lost of coaching staff over the years and the 'damn' portal has whacked them. I always cheered for them, too; and coul…
Hi @JD_co Personal note: I found the exact shape of the items near the fire place at the Oval Office online at Home Depot, as noted below; from pics I viewed. I took pictures from the laptop screen and used Google Lens (smart phone) to provide an I…
Update: We both received a message from SS as noted by @Derf late this afternoon. I've with others and the same for them. I don't know if this is the same text body that Derf had. He would have to verify the below:

Personal note: Our house has 3 or so a year with similar messaging. Electronic trash bin is next step. Are you able to provide the sender email address to us? A search of the address will generally reveal a lot of info.

Hi @larryB We were at a location in the suburbs area of Flint. A very easy drive to location with safe and easy sign and walking areas with very good exposure to major streets; as well as a lot of parking. In April, we were in Saginaw. We probably …
Yes, but more of everyone else, too; versus the June protest. But, the majority was boomers. We boomers have 'more' of the been there and done that experiences; and therefore have better reference points against when 'things' are becoming broken wit…
Hi @larryB Great to read. Our Michigan location was the same as the June rally (except 4 hours this time). Many more folks, all peaceful. One local police car traveled the nearby street a few times. More young ones, and non-white this time; whic…
We'll be at a same location as previous and will be watching for changes in crowd size this time. The bugger this time is the potential for rain, although with mild temps. The previous rally was excellent, pleasant weather. We'll also be watching th…
Not to dismiss 'coming to a location near you;, but we've followed this story via MSNBC reporting.

Hi @Old_Joe Thank you for the 'Post' post.
For so many of us here, who grew up and worked through a generally high standard of ethics at many levels and in many areas; 'HE' is so destructive. An overwhelmingly sad example of a 'human'.
DHS has a 'Facebook page'. Some the language for 'hiring' is:
Your nation needs you to step into the breach. For our country, for our culture, for our way of life. Will you answer the call?
Hi @hank Flight Simulator had a program portion that was flying WWI aircraft in a war setting. That was also very simple and fun. It helped me learn about 'stall speeds' when moving too slow and tight turn banking. Flight Simulator was a challenge.…

How about this? This was fun, although I never had enough time.
