Love that movie, but with all of those younguns coming in, it never really hits for them when we show it on the last day of work before Christmas break. That last day is for cleaning up the office, refreshing training, unplugging your coffee pots and for god's-sake-do-nothing dangerous or classified. Then, it's potluck and a movie!

And for a random photo (btw the security check into town for trucks and trailers looking for bombs or weapons had no concerns or questions) - Fat Man going into a car wash...

Wayne County, Michigan, 1930's.
Great Depression era photo taken in Wayne County, Michigan showing a mother and her six children in the doorway of their home.


Fifteenth-century human bones, probably removed from a cemetery to clear space for new burials, were later used to construct walls at the site of the former Church of Saint John in Ghent, Belgium.




The USS Lafayette (formerly Normandie) capsized in 1942.


25,000 year old structure made from the bones of 60+ mammoths. Russia, Paleolithic.


Farmer's wife cooking meat preparatory to canning. Lakeview Project, Arkansas in 1938. (Great Depression: 1929 - 1939.) Photograph by New Deal photographer Russell Lee

I'de have yanked it out or asked em to yank it out.
Gluteous Maximus, hurts but not exactly dangerous wound (other then infection).

Once out , it will hurt less when going to the hospital for Tetanus and Antibiotics shots.

And yes I know what I'm talking about, once had a knitting needle go through my left arm.. missed arteries, I yanked it out..
Also once walked half a mile home with my jaw hanging off after horse kicked me.
I know a thing or 2 about ignoring pain

Mrs. Mary O'Connell, one of the last people to get water from an old pump at Church Street / Fountain Road, Cookstown, County Tyrone. c1968.






Dec. 16, 1862 During the long cold winters miners gathered in the many saloons in Bannack to pass the time. Robert Kirkpatrick described the drink served up in the bars: “ The whiskey was often made with two barrels of water and a few plugs of tobacco with a quantity of camphor and a little stricknine to give it tang to a barrel of pure whiskey making three barrels of red eye. When the ‘forty rod’ got near the bottom of the barrel it was so dangerous that a man sometimes dropped dead from the effects of a few glasses, having too much tang near the bottom of the barrel.” The Beaverhead County Museum photo of the Mannheim Brewery was built about 1863 but no longer stands.
