Good DVD with ALL of the Little Rascals shorts?
I found a set on Netflix and have been watching them one disk at a time. I have to admit they don't really hold my interest like I thought they would. Sure some of them are amazing ("free wheeling" is as funny to me as it was when I was a kid) but many are quite drawn out and really not that...- p51

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Man, I found out while I was watching the short, "Free Wheeling," which was quite shocking. As a kid watching these on syndication, I had no idea then that even at that time in the 70s, many of them had passed on even before I was born.- p51

The Nazi Gold Train
I agree fully. How people can't see that nothing has been proven or confirmed is utterly beyond me. I think too many of these people have been watching Indiana Jones movies too many times recently. If I were a German officer, at the end of the war, knowing the Red horde is coming and we can't... -
The Nazi Gold Train
More declaration, different radar images. All look about as plausible as a infrared imagine of my dachshund's dinner bowl right before he chows down. [huh] As requested by the Polish army, the site is being cleared of trees and brush... -
B-17 taking off and landing today...
Heck, I've met WW2 vets that think no WW2 planes (of any nation) should be flown, movies should never be made, and think re-enacting is a horrible thing to do. I get that on a personal level, they'd rather forget it all but it's downright silly to insist the world ignores the past as well. I... -

FV3805 Restoration project on Kickstarter
So many of these appeals are out there for personal projects, it's hard to take them seriously anymore. -
B-17 taking off and landing today...
There's a lot of that in the Pacific Northwest, where the aging hippie types and their offspring feel that nothing war-related should be commemorated (or even acknowledged). Heck, the Washington state capitol in Olympia quit having Veteran's Day parades after 2001, but other 'art related'... -
Do Men Hate Women's Hats?
Have yet to see a woman in a baseball hat that does it for me, though. Even my own wife, who I normally have a rabid case of the 'hots' for....- p51

Do Men Hate Women's Hats?
I never liked the 'squashed beret' look of the early 30s, nor the overly flowered ones. The wide-brimmed hats, though, I've always liked. For example:- p51

B-17 taking off and landing today...
Sorry, I should have been more specific. The video I shot on my Galaxy 5 cell. The stills I shot with a Canon EOS digital camera. -

B-17 taking off and landing today...
Thanks, not bad for a hand-held cell phone, huh? I only took those as an afterthought, once I realized I had a chance to see another take-off/landing and wanted to watch it other than through a viewfinder of my good camera. The cell was a perfect balance as I got to 'experience' it as well as... -
B-17 taking off and landing today...
These were taken at a airfield near my home. The bird is the CAF's B-17G "Sentimental Journey". Everyone else was at the South end of the field, but the CAF never launched or landed at that direction. The North end of the field has no fence and has a tall berm overlooking the overrun. Made for... -
It must be good to be a Prince!
I wonder about that. I have several friends in the UK and they've all told me that generally, the average members of the public (MOPs, he said they're called there) couldn't care less for such things. They've all said there'll always be that percentage of the populace who are into history (just... -
The Nazi Gold Train
Due to the earlier comments on uniforms, I thought this was funny. This was at the D-Day even in Ohio... -
It must be good to be a Prince!
Look at it this way; it's a high-profile spotlight for the plane and the flight, something that would reasonably bring press to something your average Brit is probably caring less and less about with each passing day. You wouldn't get such press by sending up a 90+year-old WW2 vet nobody ever... -

Star Trek (The Original Series)
Oh come on, Turlough was way more annoying than Adric was! I kept hoping the Black Guardian would off him and get that over with. The 5th Doctor routinely looked annoyed at him. Peri was pretty annoying, too (but just about everything in the Colin Baker era was).- p51

Star Trek (The Original Series)
Sci-fi is always a product of the times its created in. I've never understood sci-fi that takes place ridiculously in the future. For example, the Dune books take place about 9000 years in the future or so, right? That'd be like someone in the Neolithic era trying to describe what life today...- p51

The Nazi Gold Train
The train itself apparently was found today, this photo proves it! Better still, they found a dramatic color shot taken in 1944: Seriously, on the radio this morning, I heard part of an interview with a woman from the local historical society there. She laughed at the idea, saying she's... -
Star Trek (The Original Series)
You see that pretty much everywhere now. Having seen more than a few in real life, I can't standing watching helicopters and A-10s (not to mention prop-driven planes) zooming around at Mach 1 and cornering in a way no aircraft ever did.- p51

Star Trek (The Original Series)
Another thing about Next Generation that I got sick of was what they now refer to as "technobabble". Scotty would sometimes mention the specifics of what needed to be done, but generally, he grabbed some tools you didn't know what they were, and went to work. He rarely ever explained how he did...- p51
