I'm bigger, get out of my way.
Marv's Neighbor replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The ship it hit was a Uniworld River Cruise ship. It runs (ran) between Venice and Milan. I would never want to be in Venice when one of those big ships docks. The volume of people would overwhelm the place. Venice is trying to relocate the large ships, away from the city. They're concerned that the wakes and waves from them are eroding the wood pilings that the whole place is built on. -

Requesting Singapore suggestions

Always wondered how many times you can get drunk and sober in a 19 hour plane ride? Whatever the answer, I'll believe it because I'd never do that. -

I assume there's a BILLS bar there?? Never been there but when I visited Hong Kong & Tokyo, in the 70's, I swore that I wouldn't come back till there was a super sonic plane on the route. 6-7 hours is my limit on a plane. Back in the 70's it didn't seem so unattainable to wish for planes that flew faster and higher. Now we have 737's that are grounded and they're the same basic design as the late 60's! -

I remember too many of those seasons. Time can't polish them either.

How's the pollen where you live this year?
Marv's Neighbor replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Totally agree with the "not happening," with regard to the pets. I've always had a dog, since I was a kid. Never had a cat till we got married, but they're OK too, in their own twisted way -

Asthma has been a recent diagnosis, just in the past couple of years. That what keeps me getting the allergy shots. The Asthma requires medication, and they write the prescription, so I'm stuck. Grass is a problem for me also animal dander, We have a dog & 2 cats but they're worth it. -
First Day of Summer! I hate the Freaking Summer!

CFL starts in June. I feel your pain about watering. Only do the flowers, the grass is on its own! -

Grew up in S Buffalo in the 50's. We didn't have pollen; we had ore dust from the steel mills. My Dad had business in Detroit late 50's, and Mom & I drove with him. We drove across S Ontario. At that time, S Ontario had a lot of tobacco fields. Summer travel, no A/C in cars back then, by the time we got to Detroit I thought I would go crazy with watering/itchy eyes. Found out I'm allergic to tobacco. Got some eye drops, went to the Doc back in Buffalo, and he told my Mom that I would outgrow the allergies. Now 60 years later I get shots every couple of weeks. They don't take the problems away but that's about all I can do. Living in the Richmond VA area, the allergy Docs tell us that we're in the worst part of the country for allergies. I think that's BS because I've lived in N VA., Chicago, Houston and Seattle and still had the symptoms. When I moved to Seattle, they magically went away, for about one year, but then came back, same as before. A real pain in the a*s! -
When we moved to Virginia in 2003, we lived in Williamsburg. There was a bridge on VA-5 crossing the Chickahominy River that had a metal deck and had curb level sprayers to cool the bridge in the hot weather. Had hurricane Isabel later that year, that messed the bridge up beyond repair. There's now a modern bridge there. If you're trying to fly, as in to leave the ground to cross the open bridge, the higher the temps, the less the lift that's available to get off the ground. Lighten the load, is one of the ways to make it more doable.

I've been privileged to attend 2 funerals at Arlington. One was for a co-worker, and the other a former neighbor. The former neighbor was an AF Colonel., so that was a bit more detailed, with the horse drawn caisson to the graveside. The Old Guard is very impressive and reverent.

ROCKPILE REVIEW - The Hopeless Optimist
Marv's Neighbor replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s like they’re all from Mayberry. If I'm not mistaken, that's in NC. The C stands for Carolina, and that explains so much! I am optimistic too but that keeps being over shadowed by realism. Any way.....GO BILLS! -
Nice! That's what it's all about!
