I'm a big fan of manned space flight but I would hate to be an astronaut waiting for my turn that may never come

Pop up headlights can no longer be homologated in many countries, so it is (sadly) IA.

IIRC, there were boats in the bay/cove (which has a narrow mouth) that were carried on the resulting wave out of the bay over the fingers that separated the bay/cove from the ocean.

The lighter areas of the shore are where trees and soil were washed away by the wave.

2-6, 12, and 14? WTF? I don't think I've ever heard those. When we lived in Japan, I'd walk to the bus stop in the winter with hair so wet that by the time I got to the bus stop it would be frozen, and that did not give me a cold (or make my head cold).

Thanks for that, Steve.

I looked up Lituya Bay...seen here in the middle.

I was wondering if the area was now populated. Nope!

One of my friends worked as an investigator for a large company. One employee was out on workers comp from a back injury and claimed he had to walk with crutches. They filmed him water skiing at a local lake, and building a stockade fence at his house. His claim was denied in court, and he was fired.

Sometimes I wonder how a bug can fly around in the car going 70mph. It just seems wrong.

Or why a helium balloon comes forward in a car when you accelerate.
