I was actively diving around 1990-1991. An annual conference for Divers called 'The Boston Sea Rovers' was the place to go in the spring before warmer weather diving season starts. The show has lectures and workshops for Divers. A new sunken sub found off New Jersey was the subject of one lecture, an apparent victim of its own launched torpedo which looped back and sank the sub. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets complicated when blimps, spotting ships, gunnery, etc are put into perspective.(aka fire control towers). http://www.northamericanforts.com/East/New_Hampshire/Towers/towers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once during hard times following a loss of employment and accumulated debt I received a letter and from a local social worker that read "a 'citizen' (aka lady a block away) has informed me that my services might be of use to you". Please contact me for an appointment'. Friend vs foreign is rapidly conveyed in many ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irony means the opposite result of what was intended. The intent is to make bicyclists safer. The result is to make them less safe. What makes it ironic is that the bicyclists are made less safe by the direct action of the safe sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolley i've bought indeed by the " neighbours ", kingsong69 have it written is his review about his ks18s Yes, i drill some holes on top, did it a bit like raptor did it on his ks18. Not THAT decently as he did, but it works fine. Think the wheel looks better with the trolley handle on it, and have more a back and front now. Which i like more.
