Is that the sound stage where NASA convince the rest of the world that there really is a country called Australia?

Or stage another fake moon landing?

Nope.

NASA hasn’t had any involvement in the activities there during the 50 years that building has been there.

No sir.

They build Silver Birds there.

It does indeed look like NASA is messing with the orientation chips of the iPod.

Time to pull down the Colosseum and build something new? How about The Tower of London? And those pyramids in Egypt are just taking up space. Same thing with Machu Picchu.

Not those but several groups try to preserve every house etc to retain the "character " of a village and this drives me nuts. How many Victorian or Georgian derelicts do we need to preserve? These groups fight like crazy to preserve a house or the way it looks but will not spend a dime to help maintain it. Heck they even dictate what color paint you can use. The so called "historic districts" come with great expense and the people who fight to get the designations often do not even live in them.


I thought that diversity was a good thing. I have no problem building a modern looking home next to a Georgian style house. If you want to preserve examples of the architecture then move samples to museums like Hessenpark in Germany of Dearborn Village in Michigan.

Should London Tower be preserved? It was, after all, a place of unbridled power and oppression. Each pyramid for the aggrandizement of one man. The Colosseum where executions were spectator sports, gladiators fought to the death and animals were slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands all for the entertainment value. No one really knows the history of Machu Picchu so no comments there. Besides too expensive to tear down.

So a "Private Property - Keep Out - Trespassers will be Prosecuted" sign does not work?

No it does not. America has a criminal justice system and not a victim justice system. Heck in New York a bunch of new laws just took effect. Bail is essentially done away with for all but the most egregious crimes. If you are a witness to a crime the accused now have a right to show up at your door and question you. Law enforcement has become pretty much a catch and release program in NY.

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?

Thanks, I needed an earworm this morning, not!

No fasting this morning.
2 slices of Spam fried crisp, an egg fried in butter, hash browns, and a biscuit.

Not when it comes to breakfast, my favorite meal of the day.

Nothing of the sort, that's the undercarriage testing station. They also make sure the handwash stations still work while inverted.

Well awful news last night, one of my brothers passed away yesterday. He was battling a heart condition so it was not completely unexpected. Still in shock I expect.

[microlight]

Sorry to hear that, Charlie.

Sounds like steelhead fishing.

But it is on the wrong continent.
