Bad enough getting trapped in that in modern times, but isn't this what happened to the Donner Party around about that area?BlueBirdMusic wrote: »'You can't see anything': Blizzard closes most Tahoe ski resorts and Yosemite National Park as winds hit 143 mph

I watched a sort of documentary on The Weather Channel about that years ago. That whole thing boiled down to a scam, couple of mishaps and poor decisions, and freak weather like this, iirc.

Whew, that was a close one!
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. People on the right, if you look out your window, you'll see another plane trying to race us. Please fasten your seat belts and return your tray tables and seat backs to the upright position. I hate that guy, and there's no way he's gettin' in front of us. All flight crew, man the windows and prepare to flip the bird as we pass.I disabled signatures. -

Wonder what "Famous Name" was on this tuner kit? It is completely unknown to me.
Maybe it's from that famous "Famous Name Manufacturing Company"?
They were... umm... famous.
^^^ Maybe one of these two?

I don't think so. Those small Heathkit tuners didn't have magic eyes, and the knobbage of the "famous brand" is nothing like the Heathkits.

PS I know it won't surprise all y'all that I have examples of the next generation of the tuners above -- the only difference AFAIK being cosmetics.

Sorry I cannot find a handy photo of the FM tuner
Well -- actually the FM tuner I have does have MPX stereo, but otherwise the same basic tuner, which does indeed (internally) trace its heritage all the way back to (at least) the FM-3 and 4.

Formula One driver Gerhard Berger’s stolen Ferrari found in London after 28 years
(Wow what a beauty! Probably p*ssed off for 28 years)
Scotland Yard has recovered a £350,000 Ferrari stolen from Gerhard Berger, the former Formula One driver, 28 years ago. The red F512M Testarossa was one of two Ferrari sports cars stolen from Berger and his fellow driver Jean Alesi at the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, Italy, in April 1995.

So, the question is....does the insurance company own the vehicle now or does the owner? I mean, it's his car but I'm sure he put a claim against it.

Reminds me of an old joke.
A contest was held in feudal Japan to identify the greatest Samurai swordsman.
Three contestants vied for the title.
The first contestant was summoned, a small box was produced, and the box was opened, releasing a house fly.
With the lightning flash of the warrior's blade, the fly dropped to the ground, cloven into two pieces.
"Very good." said the judge. "Next contestant."
The second contestant entered. Another box was brought in, and another fly released. With two barely perceptible slashes, the second samurai swung his sword, and the fly dropped, quartered.
"Impressive. Next contestant."
The third samurai entered. Box opened. A lightning slash of the sword.
"You have failed." said the judge severely. "The fly still flies".
The samurai smiled. "Yes. But he can no longer reproduce."
