If it has wheels, wings, or pinballs, I may know something about it.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Oh and there is the Walker Aviation Museum at the airport. I haven't been there so I can't say if it's great or not but I'd imagine any aviation museum in Roswell would be worth checking out.

If you have any interest in aviation, go drive down to the roswell airport and check out all the retired airliners sitting in storage. You cant really get up close or take an official tour but you can see row after row of them sitting off in the distance if you drive up by the terminal.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

I think that's a Rolls-Royce Viper, a turbojet originally manufactured by Armstrong Siddeley dating back to 1951!

If the bottom of the pic was cropped up a little higher to cut out the lower reverse light it would have been a little more difficult but with that full view it's a dead giveaway.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

My mom's a Trumper, I was helping her clean up her garage, and she was making sure I recycled glass and paper, being very nit picky about every piece. It took all my self-control not to explode and say her Trump vote undid her entire lifetime of careful recycling and nothing mattered now.

edited Nancy comic. Sluggo is walking with a lumpy stick over his shoulder saying, "Nancy wants to borrow my handle. She said She'd meet me on dis corner." as he approaches an advertisement for pav8 g stones with a picture of one big stone on it.

When Nancy arrives, he is standing so that the handle on his shoulder lines up with the pictured stone and looks like a lump-with-handle cow tool. Nancy warns, "Don't stand there, Sluggo - The cow will get you."
