Very, very nice.

Excellent photo. We are all melted (except for the plowed mounds) here on the west side of Oregon.

I think that just might be the same dog that's in the fish-eye photo I posted earlier, after a few too many retakes of the photo were demanded of it.

Yeah, I head that on NPR tonight.
Note the last sentence -- the Embassy, reputation to the contrary, does have a sense of ahem humour.
I have to say, I have this urge to brew up a really, really stong pot of Assam and try the 'pinch of salt' thing... after all, I am a scientist.

It was just a week ago that Clive Coffee posted (on Instagram) that some coffees can benefit from a pinch of salt. It supposedly knocks the bitter edge from the taste.

The Jeep being disgorged from the belly of the Convair is a dead ringer for my Dad’s first cabinet delivery truck. Multiple trips were required to deliver a set of kitchen cabinets. He soon got a pickup when the business got off the ground.

My wife and I recently went to Wilmington, NC for about ten days, and while there, toured the USS North Carolina Battleship. It's interesting how some things prompt a person to take a pic, but not others.
Below are some of the 16in projectiles for the big guns. These projectiles are about 5ft tall, and weigh over a ton (2,000+ lbs). Each one requires (6) 90lb gunpowder charges in order to fire. The range is about 21 miles. The different colors indicate different 'piercing' characteristics.
Here are some pics of the vacuum tubes in the communications area of the ship. Funny how they used the term 'computer' for some of the equipment, even though this was 1940s technology. You can see that the biggest tubes were type C6A.
The machine shop was quite impressive. Here's the vertical lathe:
Drill press:
Regular, horizontal lathe:
The smell in the machine shop was pure grease and oil
This ship was only in service/commission for six years, from 1941-1947 (obviously WWII). Amazing that such a vessel only served for that short a period. The building of that ship had to be a massive undertaking.
Anyway, if you're ever in the area (I know there are a few NC members here), it is well-worth your time to tour the ship.

My wife and I ate Jersey Mike's subs in the snack area before touring the USS NCOn another occasion, we toured the Osprey aircraft at Miramar, before dining in the officers’ quarters, along with some of the officers.

That's what fathers do when they are teaching their sons. They lie through their teeth to set a good example and raise you right. Reality is a whole other can of worms.

I was in my mid-30s by this time. What you just wrote doesn't describe my father even in the slightest.
