  1. Only 1992, Barcelona. He won Gold in decathlon in 1996, Atlanta.
  2. Well... Second hand smoke is and the particulate matter it may be creating... It probably isn't a big deal outdoors, it's still polluting. And common courtesy says don't expose your nuisance to others... Especially if it harms their health... We all gotta share the same spaces... Limit the exposure. There's probably going to be rises in lung cancer in coming years... Even the idiopathic cases... Just pulled into a parking lot today and the odor of the car pulling next to me was unbearable... One dude, on another note, was he driving high, putting everyone at risk too? Not trying to be a jerk. All kinds of sh*t around us in the air, why add to it. It is pretty disgusting. The smell, the highness... Just as bad as texting and driving, getting others sick, etc... I guess I can go on, but don't want to diss your ability. 😏
  3. Yeah... But early humans built on early tools... Just like later our space computers where flipped all manually. There has always been a "slow march to automation" from day one.
  4. How about smelling like a bottle of vodka coming into work in the morning. Raging alcoholics do have that hungover smell too. Cigarettes used to hide it when everyone smoked. When I first started, everyone smoked cigarettes (I never did) still inside... We'd have to paint the ceilings evert year in powerhouse/control houses. Really disgusting there too... Just for you!😆🤣
  5. Too lazy to get out of the car & walk in? Wheelcar weed?
  6. Vinko Bogotaj... "...look at 'im go! Whoa-oh BABY!" The original "Agony of Defeat."
  7. Any wonder why people have been going so mental in the last few decades? Must be social media.😆🤣 The tax dollars help... What can be better. Hopefully we can be right side up with the equation soon.
  8. And TV tech allows the yard markers, hashes, yardvlines to be put on TV like they do with the yellow line to gain line... Win-Win...
  9. Yeah... But he was down by contact on that first play? They gave him like 8 extra yards. That one pass by Fergy to OJ, flags flying in backfield... Most certainly OHolding. Probably called back.
  10. Too bad it wasn't the WNBA. The ball is an inch smaller.😆🤣
  11. As certain new technologies make things easier, humans will lose natural cognitive ability. That intuition... https://discoverwildscience.com/how-polynesian-navigators-used-celestial-science-to-cross-the-pacific-1-280034/
  12. It's: Happy, Happy Birthday. No overachieving there. ESSAYONS! is the Corps motto. French for: "Let us try."😏
  13. You know the Celts migrated from Central Europe, Switzerland, Southern Germany area to the Island of Ireland (Hibernia in Latin/Roman)... To probably get away from the Romans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts So IMO, thet are all the same. 😆
  14. Nope. Close to today's German border. Name of a WWII battle (with a 'y' added) and a department store in Buffalo... All they had to do was add an apostrophe temporarily.
  15. Zilch... But they made my last name sound Irish so my grandfather & his brothers, my father too, could get a job on the railroad. It's actually the name of a town in Poland.😆🤣
  16. Traffic was great... I would go to the grocery store at 0600 when it opened when I was coming home from working 1800-0600.
  17. Gasoline one step up (3) on flammability (Red) BUT one step down (1) on health (blue) than kerosene (Jet Fuel) on NFPA fire diamond. Pick your poison, blow up with gasoline OR get cancer from kerosene fuels.😏
  18. Yup. If your time is up, it's up. Hopefully a little situational awareness, some good safety & logic can forestall otherwise bad happenings...
  19. I caught that, but wasn't sure where flight originated from. Probably not a good situation to be standing on the fuel tank... Tank drawn down with more vapor in it might be worse than a full tank.
  20. Hey... Everyone/thing has a right to freely transit... It's in the Northwest Ordinance.
