For a night cap, go to the Cliff House. And by the way, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

You spelled it phonetically. No harm in that. As for Treasure Island, simply the best view of the city. Things "went on" in the sauna that adjoined the bachelor officer's quarters there. At least once. Though I can neither confirm nor deny. What a great place. Marin----I'd avoid.

Cioppino is my favorite. A Christmas tradition in my house. For the best, without the Fisherman's Wharf touristy stuff, go to Spenger's in Berkely. It's right off the Bay Bridge, so very easy to get to. Very good place, a seafood market and old style restaurant, Not stuffy at all. For city fare, I'd go to Tommaso's on Kearney St, in the North Beach area. Pizza is great. Very informal and cheap. Of course now I've given up my two favorite places when I was dating my wife years ago. We got married on Treasure Island, (a man made island in the middle of the Bay Bridge).

That's great, but it is very different in other areas. You posted Saturday that rain had "stopped" in Virginia. That is absolutely not true, except for a few hours. All of this "in my area" stuff is meaningless to the millions who have been significantly impacted by this. This was a horrific rain dumper, and anybody who denies that ought to consider the walk a mile in my shoes idiom. It will take well over a month to get over this in the areas that bore the brunt.

What? Of course the Catholic Church is in crisis, but any notion that anybody is "blindly following Trump," is completely preposterous.

I had left New York the night afternoon prior, flying a 767 to San Francisco, qualifying a new copilot. We had just taken off from San Francisco. We were in the vicinity of Fallon Nevada, which has a huge Naval Air Station, whihc I had spent tons of time flying out of during my days in the Navy. I started getting really strange messages on the data link printer, ending in an extremely strong suggestion to divert. Thought about dropping in to Fallon, but turned back to San Francisco and landed, accompanied by about 30 emergency vehicles chasing me down the runway. Same company. Same airplane. Same transcon flight, Same other stuff which has never been published. Called home to have the Mrs. tell the kids, who were at school, and knew I was flying transcons from NY that day, that I was OK, then an office at the company to get the names on 77, the Pentagon airplane, knowing I would know them, and found out they were friends or folks I had flown that trip with. Arranged to buy lunch for our entire crew. Chatted with the FBI via phone patch that afternoon. Just an unforgettable, horrible, life altering day. And by the way "Foxx," if you ever have any suggestions of something amiss, which you have suggested in this thread, I would be very happy to address them, at least on the subjects that I am very familiar with.

Oh well. Emergency harvest of my petit verdot grapes tomorrow and Wed., a week early. Fortunately, my grapes are in good shape, but would have really benefited from another week hanging. A week of rain would really hurt, so starting at 4am, we will harvest.

You are truly troubled. There is no "everything," because they didn't have anything. Your "trial" recreation is total fiction. He was initially tried by the Jewish leadership at the time, illegally, as they were afraid of his popularity destroying their financial scheme. The Sanhedrin, knowing that Jews had no capital punishment option under Roman rule turned him over to Pilate, who found no reason to convict him, so turned him over to Herod, who was a goof and interested in having Jesus perform tricks, which he wouldn't do. Herod soon turned him back to Pilate, who still wanted him released, but appeased the Jewish leadership and condemned him. Pilate's only concern was preventing an uprising during Passover, where multiple times the number of Jews would have been in Jerusalem. Anyway, if you are going top offer views on this, you ought to be knowledgeable of the basics.........And you aren't.

Mr. Wile E. Coyote's lawsuit against Acme Products. "Mr. Coyote states that on eighty-five separate occasions he has purchased of the Acme Company (hereinafter, "Defendant"), through that company's mail-order department, certain products which did cause him bodily injury due to defects in manufacture or improper cautionary labeling..... Upon receipt of the Rocket Sled, Mr. Coyote removed it from its wooden shipping crate and, sighting his prey in the distance, activated the ignition. As Mr. Coyote gripped the handlebars, the Rocket Sled accelerated with such sudden and precipitate force as to stretch Mr. Coyote's forelimbs to a length of fifty feet" Also mentioned were defective "rocket skates," which propelled the plaintiff through a billboard, leaving a full body silhouette. The Claim One of my personal favorites was the earthquake pills.

I went through Aviation Officer Candidate school in 76. It was run my Marine Drill Instructors and was pretty intense, see "An Officer and a Gentleman." It has been grossly tuned down since woman were allowed in. SEER School, which is POW school, was really intense. Freezing at night in a box with no clothes wasn't that bad. Getting interrogated wasn't too bad either-just get shoved into a wall a few times, but it actually warmed me up at the time. Watching waterboarding and hoping I wouldn't get selected. It was one of two times on active duty that I was actually scared.

No they didn't. And the rest of the story? All, ex John, suffered torturous death affirming Jesus, and John did as well, he just didn't die directly for it. Did you miss that? You may be the most misinformed individual to ever post. Seriously. 2000+ years, and you are not aware? And by the way, as late edit, there is noting anywhere that suggests or even hints that Jesus or his disciples enjoyed any material gifts as part of the Gospel. That seems to be you invention.

You are incredibly ill informed, to the point of writing your own idiotic history, in direct opposition to the record. His disciples didn't "bolt." And there weren't 5000. That is the number of people fed, having followed he and his group because of healing. There were 12, all but one died horrific deaths as the result of their faith. Judas committed suicide. Nowhere is it claimed that Jesus derived anything from these people, other than faith. Your historical inventions are about as impressive as your ignorance regarding 9/11.

If you are talking about material possessions, you are wrong. If you are talking about faith, that is mostly correct, but not entirely.

That excludes me. By the way, your sentence is very poorly constructed, but the condescension is apparent, nonetheless.

Claiming he dedicated his life to "putting servicemen in harm's way" is a gross distortion, as is claiming that he "pissed on the graves of everyone who served." You sound like one of the Viet Nam vets who never got over that war and how details of it were treated afterward, and for very good reasons. And for the record, I've never liked the guy, and viewed his revered treatment last week as undeserved and bizarre.

He certainly did not "piss on the graves of everyone who served."

I have not, and don't, "call" it anything. If he is guilty of treason, it shouldn't be too hard to prove. Being in a picture doesn't pass even the most minuscule concept of guilt.

I get your general sincerity. Still, you have a habit of posting pictures and suggesting things without any semblance of proof. This isn't the first time you have done it. If there is proof of McCain committing treason, that should be provable. Being in the same picture as someone proves nothing, and is a cheap shot.

You called the man a racist. He challenged you. Do you have anything?

McCain should have gone a lot quieter. Never liked the guy. Always suspected him. None of this surprises me. Still......Trump is an ass.

Want bizarre, listen to HF at night.

Its not odd. The atmosphere changes at night, and the changes effect radio wave propagation.

I know. Overnight reception can be strange because the FCC regulates wattage in order to reduce the effect of skywave propagation, which is much more prevalent at night. That's why you'll get stations like WGR until about 7AM, and then a much closer 550 khz stations will ramp up at the same time the nightime skywave propagation diminishes, so they'll better service their listening area.

AM, due to its much lower frequency travels much further. FM is generally line of sight, but sometimes with atmospheric bouncing it can go greater distances.

1. Whoever they wanted to, or nobody. Just leave their possessions. 2. The 5000 people came from surrounding towns. They had heard that Jesus and the 12 were healing people and were attracting crowds, so Jesus told them to get into a boat and head to a solitary place for rest, but they were seen, and the crowds followed. 3. Find someone from another galaxy and ask them. God is a sovereign. He could do what he wanted.
