It wasn't me or my family, we didn't come to US until 1916. We were still starving in Italy. Similarly, I take no responsibility for slavery as well... I take no responsibility for what the dutch, spanish or brits did any more than I take responsibility for the chinese did to the japanese and vice-versa 300 years ago. There were a lot of crappy things that every race/ethnicity did to ever other race/ethnicity throughout history.

That said, if you want to read a great book about the US before Columbus came over, this is very interesting and data-based. There were VASTLY more natives in the US then previous reported.

Actually, that is a picture of the cast of the 1982 movie "The Thing" filmed in British Columbia and SE Alaska. I did some flying around some of the same locations while I was in Juneau.

One of the guys I used to work with was a pilot down in Antarctica - the company I used to fly with had the NSF contract at the time.

I don't think I could live there. That wall of water would just be terrifying. I guess the wall did it's job.

That is the peril of living next to a major river. Most of the time is is a great resource. Sometimes it comes back to bite the people that live there.



No that is gonna leave a major pot hole!

Fascinating subject.

Throughout the years I've seen project after project published in magazines which obviously don't meet any code I'm familiar with. My only conclusion is that it pays to know the right people.
