Ah, how I miss the old Undisclosed Booby Hatch. I see it's for sale.
Here's hoping the area isn't getting too disclosed.

Re: AI Mind Philosophy

Outside the gaming and entertainment industry, I really can't imagine a use for such a simulation. I don't think people would want them around for use in practical situations. In Computer science, as with all science, the decisions are made by corporate management. ( With valuable data from sales a...

Definitely NOT the Enterprise. The NASA logo is the new logo, based on the old '60's era logo. The Enterprise was tested in'77. The '70's NASA logo was the red "worm" logo.

As the saying goes, "I love my country, but fear my government."
And this administration scares me more than the last one.
Which scared me more than the last one.

If you are really serious about an amphib, how about a DUKW?

Here's one in use by the fire dept. in Reserve, LA.

Were those amphibious vehicles reliable? Seems to me they would tend to leak around the doors. Schwimmwagon: No doors = No leaks.

"Texas 1947" is on "Look At Them Beans".
(Great cover)
It's also on "Destination Victoria Station"
which is all songs about trains. I don't
think either album was re-released on cd.
