Espola's newest neighborhood

I have decided to be a Christian Science adherent, at least for the month of March. That way I won't be getting any older.

Ernest Holmes and my adopted mom started this church in LA. Dr. William Hornady (Brother Bill) helped grow the church in the 60s and also saved my ass from pure evil. He called my Guardian Angel to see if she could take another child at 47 years old. She told me God told her to save me and she did. I'm alive today because of God. Thank you for saving me Dr. Hornaday and the Gr8t Bette 🙏

 
Bye, bye miss American pie . . .
In 1972, the Navy sent me to Grumman's Long Island factory for training on maintenance of the F-14A aircraft. I was there for several weeks and had no night or weekend duty assignments, so I was free to make the long drive north every Friday night in my VW bug to visit my family in northern Vermont. I recall on the way back Sunday nights that when I got close enough to NYC to pick up their AM stations, some DJ would play Bye Bye Miss American Pie all the way through. I always listened to the whole thing if my radio could do it.

Thanks for sharing
 
I have moved twice and replaced laptops three times and cellphones twice since I last viewed one of Adam Booth's excellent videos on his ABOM79 YouTube channel. It was good to see that his content quality has not declined by any noticeable measure in that time. In this video, he is making one of the parts to convert a metric vise to "American" dimensions, including tapping Acme threads inside a large nut.

 
Stumbled upon this and let out a chuckle. Look at gas and egg prices now.....
Costco eggs this week -- $7.19 for 2 dozen (which would be $3.60/dozen if they sold them that way). Costco gas yesterday -- $4.49/gallon for 87 octane (my wife's Acura Turbo likes 91 octane, which is $4.79/gallon).
