I've read a few articles about this lately. We have an unknown number of military satellites circling the earth. When combined with computers and weapons on the ground, they make a very powerful weapons system. There's just one problem. If we go to war with a major country, that country could disable those satellites right away. We would be worse off than if we had no satellites to begin with.

Both Russia and China have the ability to destroy satellites, and China destroyed one of its own, just to show us what it could do. That demonstration littered space with thousands more pieces of debris. I hope the military has a plan to fight a war without satellites.

In today's mail, I had a letter from the government... Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The letter began with: "You now have a new Medicare Number and your previous Medicare Number is no longer valid. Your new Medicare card is inside." It further informs me that the new card/number is effective April 2 and that I should inform my providers of the change.

I have no idea why they would replace my Medicare card and assign me a new/different number.

Has this happened to any of you UHHers?

My guess is that part of the new number is a flag to doctors and hospitals that... this old guy has cost us enough money... treat him accordingly... been nice communicating with you UHHers.

My wife and I both received new cards with different numbers 4 days ago. Which the letter said were valid after April 2nd also.

God does not exist. No statement of fact can be made about God. Belief in that which has no factual basis is what is irrational.




I’ve read all the comments and it seems that the question seems to be. Does GOD exist? I would have to say most assuredly he does. How ever I am aware that much that which is taught today by churches, TV preachers, and the like is half-t***hs, lies, or false doctrines. For those who seem to believe that he doesn’t exist. I want to ask how many times have you read the bible? Did you ever seek HIM? If you haven’t It’s explains why you believe HE doesn’t exist. Therefore my advise to you would be try reading the bible you think is fantasy and seek HIM diligently with your heart. If you do you will find HIM. If you chose not to seek Him. Then continue to live in your fantasy world of lies. That's my two cents. I will not respond to any further comments. Have a great day!

Thanks. I swear to you that that was the color of the sky when I took that photo. I, too, have been there more times than I can count over the last 23 years., and have seen various displays of colors over the years.


Thank you for responding. It must have been a great day for photos. I would have liked to have been there. All three are nice but number one is my favorite.

Number 1 is the best of the three. However the sky seems unnatural. Throughout the years I have been there forty times or more and taken many photos of the sailboat and the sunset. I've never seen the sky quite that pasted.

I have several old box cameras. Three of them used 620, which was the same film as 120, but on a different spool.

I have a quite a few 35MM cameras. My favorite is a Minolta 9XI. I generally use Portra 400. If Kodachrome 64 was available I would use that.

Here's a excerpt from this article: https://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/157121981449/wiley-t-moores-belt-fed-bar-in-december-1933

". . . Moore’s BAR conversion was not adopted either, it is unclear if the design was formally tested. In 1934 the US Army Ordnance Corps had evaluated and apparently rejected Moore’s T12 Light Machine Gun. . . "

Please follow the link for the entire article.

And, as others have stated, the items pictured in the OP are a different caliber, that is, 7.62mm 'NATO' and the BAR is chambered for .30-06 ammunition.

I'm well aware that the BAR was chambered in 30-06.
I worked with a guy that carried a BAR in WW2 in Germany. He told me that the black market was robbing the supply trains. He was selected to guard the supply train and I was told that while he was on the train guarding he would use a belt fed BAR on those trips and not his standard duty BAR.

WILEY T. MOORE’S BELT-FED BAR
In December 1933, Wiley T. Moore patented his design to convert the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle into a belt-fed light machine gun. Moore designed the weapon while based at the United States Army Air Corps’ research and development center and armourer training facility at Wright Field, Ohio.
