  1. It's: Happy, Happy Birthday. No overachieving there. ESSAYONS! is the Corps motto. French for: "Let us try."😏
  2. 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. 😆
  3. 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.
  4. 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.😆🤣
  5. Traffic was great... I would go to the grocery store at 0600 when it opened when I was coming home from working 1800-0600.
  6. 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.😏
  7. Yup. If your time is up, it's up. Hopefully a little situational awareness, some good safety & logic can forestall otherwise bad happenings...
  8. 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.
  9. Hey... Everyone/thing has a right to freely transit... It's in the Northwest Ordinance.
  10. @Mike in Horseheads... They landed so they should be pretty low on fuel. I think the fire was on the starboard engine... They are standing on the port wing... But, I probably would have tried to shimmy down OR hang jump. Give it an extra 6 feet. NOT sure wing supports my phat azz. LoL Ooops... It's the fumes from the jet fuel that explode. Actually you're probably right... Empty tank w/high fumes can be dangerous! Why we don't lock empty petrol-chem barges with pleasure craft!
  11. I got absolutely no angst. I think prices should be lower and fly us by drone! 😆 Drone solves the issue: Better than passed out in the cabin. Anyway... What to you treat first, stopped breathing or bleeding out? They ain't bleeding out YET! 😉
  12. I am flying 2 Wednesdays from now... Wish me luck! They most certainly sent that plane down the longest taxiway possible. This nonsense needs to stop! Excuse me stewardess, I speak @Figster! "The Tower did it!" Don't worry, we're working on changing that!😏
  13. BREAKING News: https://nypost.com/2025/03/13/us-news/american-airlines-plane-catches-fire-at-denver-international-airport-passengers-evacuated/
  14. I got da Covids two years later & I think I still gots it. /smdh
  15. Never missed a beat. OT like mad... Most money ever made. 2 straight weeks on 12 hour shifts, 1 week off. Business as usual.
  16. Just had Lou Malnati's deep dish last night. Chicago: https://www.loumalnatis.com/ Deep Dish: Chicago thin crust, cut tavern style (anywhere): Buffalo: Say Cheese Pizza, Grand Island: http://www.saycheesepizza.com/
  17. cc: @Mike in Horseheads I hope this makes you chuckle!
  18. Sometimes it is. But not always. Thin people snore too. With weight, what happens if people can't lose by the air passage...
