And I know how to SNIP


Per Stormin Mormon:
When I flew alone, about age 14. They made me
wear a big, brightly colored tag. And the
flight crew very politely kept a close eye
on me.

That's about how it went with the daughter.

The tag that Stumped refers to is current equipment. There is more than a
"crew" keeping an eye on him.

But you grew up in America not AmeriPUS.

As Tim Wilson said, you could cross the road in front of your house
without being buckled in a safety seat.

When I was six years old, I would walk down the street from home to a
bus stop and get on a city bus to travel to the next town to attend the
Catholic Parochial Torture Center run by those terrifying creatures
known as nuns. I have to wonder if any parent these days would allow a
six year old on his/her own to travel unaccompanied on public
transportation to another city and walk several blocks to and from the
city bus? o_O

Things are different no days. At 12 I could take guns from the house
and go in the woods all day. You could carry knives in your pocket. At
14, bought my first car (with my earned money) and was allowed to
drive alone during the day. At night with a 16 year old (licensed) in
the car. We played with dynamite back then, too. Huck Finn didn't have
anything on us, eh?

Now days - never mind, but you know the story.

I used to shoot in a rifle team. Where was the range located? Right next to
the police station, leased from the borough. Lead poisoning - breathe deep.

Any other theories as to why the house may have been vibrating,
especially for hours?

Sea Legs are Illusions of self-motion (*).

"Neural adaptation or sensory adaptation is a change over time in
the responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It
is usually experienced as a change in the stimulus." (**)

After train rides I could still hear / feel the clacking of the
tracks for awhile. Same on long road trips where you might hear the
sounds of thumping when tires cross sections of the pavement.

I suppose log distance truck drivers get "road legs" and "road rash" on
their butts from sitting in the seat all day long? ^_^

TDD

That's why they have air ride seats - it ain't from the methane.

Do the airlines still have a diamond shaped tag
which ties on with string? Maybe Twinkie send
a kid by air, recently?

Right next to the PD, training potential snipers?
Wow, that's so old fashioned, twinkie. Now days,
only mass murderers and government goons are allowed
to own guns.
