Great looking shots of the pre Civil War plantation. You didn't mention its location. I had to Google it. Location is Toccoa, GA which is about 90 northeast of Atlanta. Thanks for sharing history.

This is a very lengthy article about drones and FAA regulations. What is your premise in posting this article?

On May 1942, at the Battle of the Coral Sea, a Japanese invasion of Australia was repelled by US Naval Power. The Chinese Government wants to dominate the Pacific Theatre just as the Japanese during WW2. While America has downsized its Navy, I can understand the insistence of the American government wanting Australia to be seaworthy militarily. The China is building its Navy like never before. And would love to own Australia.

There are quite a few more Pacific allies. Singapore would be one of the highest rated both economically and militarily as would be Taiwan. Japan will probably be forced to rearm which of course would vault them to the top and make them more important than all of the other Pacific allies put together. Australia of course should be added to the Pacific allies.
The person from London stating that the Brits are our only ally must have spent too much time in the pub today.

After all the bad publicity revolving around stupid people acting irresonsbly at the park, yesterdy another idiot paid the ultimate penalty when he wandered off the boardwalk in the Geyser basin and then fell into a hotspring. Although his body hasn't been located yet it is presumed that he died.
Doesn't anyone read the signs posted everywhere in the park?

Yes, people are stupid, but arrogance is another factor. The rules don't apply to me.

The British are not the only Ally the USA has. There are Germany, France, Australia, Israel, Canada, and of course the UK. The Pacific Allies are the Philippines, Japan, and South Korea. The UK is recognized as the most important European Ally to the USA, and South Korea the most important Ally in the Pacific military-wise.

I read your link. Very interesting. Since the first of the 2016 year, Microsoft says it has 200 million monthly users of Windows 10. That's still only 10% of the total users. Surprisingly, Windows 7 still dominates 55% of total computer users. Perhaps too many for Microsoft? Another surprise is that 10% of total users still use Windows XP. Source. Cnet.

The UK is building two Brand new Aircraft Carriers, one to be named the Queen Elizabeth. The US Navy now has about 10 active Aircraft Carriers, more than any nation. China has two Aircraft Carriers now, one old one bought from Russia they are restoring. The number of American warships now is the lowest since the pre-WW2 era. The Department of the Navy keeps saying we don't need a great number of warships anymore, but IMO we need to build more. The Navy Department says America has advanced technology to offset new expensive shipbuilding. America still has the greatest Navy, despite downsizing.

Just purchased a used lens and some other accessories from KEH and a refurb lens from Canon. Both shipped the next day overnight (at no cost) and both were absolutely flawless - couldn't tell from new. Kudos to both - highly recommended.😈
KEH is a highly recommended vendor on this forum, among others. Glad you are very satisfied with your purchase.

The Killer Bees are the ones you want to avoid. In great numbers they can kill animals as large as a horse, and will chase you relentlessly for long distances, if you provoke them. I had a friend, many years ago, who carried a medical bee kit if he got stung by a bee. I haven't been stung by a bee since I was a teenager, but remember it to this day.

For quick prints, Walgreen's and CVS. I'm not a member of Costco, but my father loves them for prints.

We forget that President Jimmy Carter granted Amnesty to all Draft Dodgers who went to foreign countries. Most were supported by rich parents in the USA. Jimmy Carter served in the Military and has a US Submarine or Navy Ship named in his honor.

Go to the Best Buy Store website. I looked at it yesterday. Prices ranged from $150 to over $2000 on laptops. They have desktops too. Many to choose from, with details listed on each, as to storage, etc., Costco is a good place too, if you are a member. Computers today, both desktops and laptops are cheaper and better than yester-years models. If you need a lot of storage, I would go for a 1T hard drive. Another option you have is to upgrade your present computer with more storage. Keep it as a backup.
The upgrade of an old computer was suggested by a uhh member just days ago on this forum. Something I never considered doing.
