Escaping Nebraska's hottest day ever recorded with a high of 115 degrees, residents of Lincoln, Nebraska slept on the lawn of the State Capitol when temperatures never fell below 91 degrees on July 25, 1936.








USS. Arizona, then one of the largest and newest of Uncle Sam's sea fighters passing out to sea under the Brooklyn Bridge on her first voyage since being put in commission.


A welder works on cowls for Liberty Ships in California, 1942. At the peak of the Liberty ship production, shipyards could deliver a completed vessel in less than a week. The record was set by the SS Robert E. Peary, built by the Kaiser Permanente Metals Corporation’s yard in Richmond, California, launched just 4 days, 15 hours, and 30 minutes after the keel was laid.

I guess it is supposed to be art.

I'd like to know more about this.



I think the closet flange is correct WRT the wall, but if the WC is set facing the opposite wall then it fails the 2' clear space in front. IF some inspector refused this, then he/she has egg on their face because technically I can't find a violation as it is shown.

You can poop and vomit in the sink at the same time after a night on the town.

Fall back into the shower for a quick rinse and off to bed you go. It's not a design flaw, it's a design feature!

What caught my attention was the labels of syrup I have, and the syrup from all those years ago are quite similar...

And "ribbon cane syrup" and cane syrup are slightly different.. Ribbon Cane is an heirloom sugar cane.. I know, who knew..

Girl transporting 1 million dollars home


A huge salvage dump of wings from German aircraft at No.12 Field Salvage Unit Depot, Hanover. All useful materials, especially metals were removed and sorted ready for re-use. Much of the salvaged material was shipped to the United Kingdom.
