Quote: The pig took to her new family immediately, clambering into bed with the Minors on her very first evening home. “We had to get a king-sized bed,” says Paul Minor. Her love of humans made her a natural fit for the Boys & Girls Club’s annual Kiss-A-Pig fundraiser—in which people pay money in order to get community notables to kiss a pig—and from there, her star kept rising. The Hartford Library children’s librarian asked Minor if he’d consider bringing his famous pig in for a story hour, so he did. [^]

I love pigs also. Especially the heat treated kind.

You should - obviously - ensure they are fully healthy first, by curing them properly.

I was a little concerned that I missed something in my local events, had to double check to make sure it was not the Hartford I live in.

Love to see those though I have been here: RAF Museum [^]

That looks really cool; I'd love to see it.
I go to the Air Force Museum every 3-4 years. It's under fairly frequent expansion, so there's usually something new to see as well as old favorites.

I have this[^] to offer. Sometime soon they should have a flying day for rc models, like every summer. Perhaps I'm going to fly myself.
Also, nowhere in the internet you get a picture of the underside of a Huey. I need it for the details on my model. I hope they will let me crawl under it and take some pictures.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Guess what, I tried that. More than once, and I got the same meager results.
Except for this one.[^] It's a UH-1E, like the model I am building. Not only that, you can actually see a lot on the picture.

I live minutes from this one. It's adjacent to March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, CA.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

And you don't hear any helicopters?

The only helicopter I hear with any regularity is CareFlight, a helicopter ambulance service. We live on the approach path to our hospital.

I'm glad we have it available. My local hospital is small, and while our emergency center is good, it can't handle complicated cases. CareFlight can move a patient to one of the more comprehensive facilities in Dayton in only a few minutes.

I worked for a defense contractor when Top Gun came out, and all of our work was for the USAF. The day the movie premiered locally, they closed the office and everyone went to the movies.

I was just out by NAS Fallon (where they have the TOPGUN school) a few weeks ago. It was on a weekend, so pretty quiet, but on weekdays, it can be quite noisy with jets flying over all day.
In Fallon, there is a Top Gun Drag Strip, Top Gun Restaurant, Top Gun Car Wash...there is also a Maverick Gas Station, but I'm not sure if it is a movie reference or something else.
The most impressive military jet flybys I have seen were actually in Death Valley, where I was parked on top of a ridge, and the jet was flying down the valley at an altitude several hundred feet below me. I have seen this several times.

Bullshit! You live in the museum. I have it on good authority that in middle age you helped Orville and Wilbur with their early experiments.

It is a well known problem with polystyrene clad tower blocks. Here is one in France burning: Fire Engulfs the Entire side of a High Rise building - YouTube[^]
It is very common these days; take an old, ugly concrete tower block, clad it in polystyrene and a skim of render.
In Germany they have had to add fire breaks at every floor, not sure these will help that much, but, like sofas and other soft furnishings in houses, why isnt it done with flame retardant materials?
This is an absoloute no brainer, it is obvious polystyrene is unsafe, how the hell, in Europe, did this ever get allowed?
