She looks like a young Ms Rocket.

I saw that picture in the most beautiful woman thread, and wondered who she was.

Yeah, when I was a kid.

It was always triple digits when I had to mow the lawn and Arctic snowstorm when I had to walk to school.

No, it hasn't... and you can be certain that it's happening because of the sicko who posted this photo:

Packard Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan, May 1941. Machinists assembling the supercharger to a marine engine. One of 1200 horse power engines which drive the Navy’s deadly “Mosquito” boats.

Tatra sued VW over air-cooled patents(settled) and the two had overlapped history.

Back in the early days of his career, Sylvester Stallone was so broke he ended up homeless and unable to buy food. At his lowest point, he realized he had no option but to sell his beloved dog and best friend, Butkus, whom he simply couldn't afford to feed.
After selling Butkus to a stranger for $25, he walked away crying.
Just two weeks later, Stallone saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner. It inspired him so much, he wrote the script for Rocky. As he started approaching movie studios, he had one request: he would star in the movie. With offers for as much as $350,000, Stallone still refused until they agreed for him to play the lead.
But the compromise came at a cost, with Stallone instead receiving just $35,000 for his script.
The first thing the actor did when he received the money was return to the liquor store where he had last seen Butkus. After standing there for three days, he saw the man who had purchased his dog approaching and begged to buy his dog back.
It would cost him $15,000, but it was worth every cent to Stallone. Butkus would appear in the film with his owner.
Rocky went on to be the highest grossing film of 1976 and won three Oscars. It also propelled Stallone to fame.

I'm pretty sure that I'd eat all of those except the one from China. Why not the one from China? Because Engrish and China and me not really trusting what would be in a hotdog there (which is really saying something).

Time to do a U turn, and find another road.

LOL! My package is taking the scenic route. The USPS has been rock solid since we moved here. I guess they are allowed this one issue as long as it arrives eventually.

PA to Dallas, TX, to Austin, TX (70 miles away), to NJ, and back to Austin. Maybe it'll get here Thu or Fri.
