Lucretia Jane Tucker, soon to be 98, is one of the few remaining "Rosie the Riveters," women who worked in factory jobs during World War II________________________________________________________________________________________
(She doesn't look nearly 98)______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lucretia Jane Tucker, left, her mother, Iris, and her sister, Betty. left their Alabama home in 1943 to help build ships in Savannah
Upon arrival in Savannah, the Tuckers went straight to training. They learned to be welders, doing their part to build “Liberty Ships,” the 441-foot-long workhorses that transported supplies across the ocean. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a ship aficionado, called the craft “a real ugly duckling.” The Savannah shipyard went on to build 88 ducklings and the U.S., after perfecting prefabrication, constructed 2,700 Liberties overall.
The job was six days a week, 10 hours a day. It was hard and could be dangerous. Jane worked with teams of eight to 12 women on slabs welding vertical steel walls, which were then hoisted into place by a crane. They wore heavy boots mid-calf, long-sleeve shirts, thick pants and suede gloves. If you were welding above your head, you had to wear a heavy leather jacket for protection.

On that note, why is it perfectly okay to speak about and promote sexual and ideological ideas, plays and programs to kindergarteners, but you have to be 18 to watch an R rated movie?
There is something very wrong with that.

This Hawk was thumping the ground with its right talons. Nothing was snagged though.
We have moles again. Maybe they see the ground move.

Little road trip this morning.
Pioneer SC75 receiver and these HEAVY as lead gems. B&W CM10's.
They're 9.5.
I'm too %$#@* old to be lifting 73 lb. speakers now. Especially since I lost 25lb a year ago due to COVID-19 (?) they said. I was huffing and puffing and praying I didn't throw my back out or rip some hernia repairs from years ago loading them and then unloading them. It was my maximum dead-lifting weight now. Then I had to walk with them 30 ft. 73lbsx4x30 ft. is rough now. Steps to step up or down too. Just 2 each way.
I hooked them up and yeah, the reviews about these are true. The sound is SPACIOUS and awesome.
