    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Not a DEU in sight in this photo from 1975. Just "service dress". If one thinks "soldiers" men complained about the uniform of that era, they pale in comparison to the complaints from those who wore the rig in the photo. My spouse back then hated it and only marginally accepted the "pants...

    Who would come to mind if you saw a "White Ford Bronco" hearse?

    It didn't take long for a satire site to exploit the obvious. On the other hand it was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the news. But that's probably a generational memory (it was 30 years ago)...

    Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

    "Only" 20 years? How optimistic. I'm having flashbacks to the 1980s and MEDMIS (Medical Management Information System). While an eventual "electronic health record" module was supposed to be part of the project, I don't know if they ever got there, I retired before I ever saw anything useful...

    Niagara declares eclipse emergency

    A quick google of some of the major chain properties in Niagara Falls indicates that all of them have significantly raised their rates for the eclipse, generally by approx $180 - $200 a night. This is what it would cost at the Wyndham to check in on Sunday and leave Tuesday (2 nights)...
