Pacific Electric had over 500 miles of inter urban track in Los Angeles in the early 1900's.  The image shows the "Red Cars" stacked for sinking in Los Angeles Harbor - sunk austensibly for "fish habitat", but really sunk for General Motors Corporation profit.

Do Americans want to remember history?  Remembering John Marshall:

How many have been given a "free ride" with no scrutiny from the justice system and the media??

First it was waterpower, then it was coal fired steam power.  3000 horse power boilers feeding line shafting through out a huge multi storied brick New England Mill.   Machines like these - drill presses, planers, lathes, - all turning, mechanically powered through line shafts and leather belting.   

Amazing.    

 H5N1 is a secret - well, what's secret is how it was mutated....

 As I age

 I try to force myself - on every issue (on multiple levels) - to think backward - to think upside down. To think like I was crazy. To think like I was evil minded. To think like I was rational and above it all . To not think and jerk my knee.   OUT OF THE BOX!!!   What's the answer?....

A beautiful night for CLE--as the heavenly choir of St. Olaf performed for a capacity crowd of 700+ at Mary Queen of Peace (formerly Our Lady of Good Counsel) in Old Brooklyn.  For Old Brooklyn and Brooklyn Centre residents--getting there was as easy as a brisk winter's walk.

Mr. Dimora was always about 15 minutes late to meetings he attended - I was there.   Just a  little slap in the public's face, no matter.
