  1. It's rare but from from time to time people still discover old ruins and burial sites in the Marana/Tucson area. Just last year or so when they were getting ready to put in a new mall they found some old ruins as they were preparing a site. I've heard of a lot of stories of things being discovered throughout the years but I don't have links for those but I'm pretty confident that at least some of them are true
  2. Marines launch new deployments to Bulgaria to reassure allies
  3. My top 3 planes are 1. B-52/SR-71 tie 2. A-10 3. F-4 Honorable mention. F-15 When I was a wee lad I wanted to be a pilot like my grandpa but somewhere along the line I lost my way
  4. Hover into battle: US military strikes deal to develop hoverbike tech
  5. Congrats on the house!
  6. Not really enthused at Tom Holland being tapped for Spidey
  7. It was a surprise I don't think anything else on the menu was different except for the happy anniversary going across the top but I thought it was a nice touch
  8. We went to Fruition again They printed us special menus that said happy anniversary and greeted us at the door with sparkling wine (I took one sip and poured the rest into my wife's glass). I had pasta carbonara to start followed by their duck breast and my wife had lamb tartare and seared scallops. She had wine and I had beer, a bomber of something I don't remember the name of... Maybe Grimm Brothers something something and it was purty good.
  9. 3rd wedd'n anniversary Went out to eat at the missus' favorite place
  10. It has other names but most are shared with other holidays so Juneteenth is the more common name (portmanteau of June and nineteenth) It's not a very popular holiday and is mostly celebrated locally so no days off or anything Some history I have some family history in that area at that time and that's mostly how our family came to celebrate it.
  11. Yeah, I saw that side by side combo but this one is a Frenchish on its own. They keep saying it's the friendliest airport over the intercom like repetition will make it true but I'm pretty sure it's the (Sun) devil's butthole and not in a good way. Or maybe I'm just snappy because I missed my flight.
  12. Yeah, Gromnir got it. The guy reminded me of Carlton from Fresh Prince mixed with Bradley Cooper's character in Wedding Crashers. Anyway, flight missed. I walked the entirety of the airport before settling on a Frenchish place to grab some food. Got about an hour and a half before my next flight.
  13. Flight back has been delayed by over an hour and it doesn't look like I'll make my connection. Worst part is all the slow people taking their sweet time walking around with no sense of purpose, I haven't thought nasty civilians about anyone since I was a boot but today it's making a strong comeback. I take that back, the worst thing is this guy sitting behind me. He looks like a Trevor or Brevin, he put his bag under someone else's seat across the aisle. Who does that?

  15. Isn't it more likely that kids just *seem* to get more and more obnoxious each generation...because you're getting older? Nah, that's not it
  16. Up at 0330am this morning to drive to the airport for a last minute trip to Arizona. Going to surprise my dad, check on my grandpa, and say goodbye to a cousin with ALS
  17. Grilled some salmon with honey and black pepper and maybe a couple other trace elements. I used a cedar plank, don't judge me.
  18. Like it says on the tin Happy Juneteenth everyone!
  19. My grandpa watches Fox News all day. As long as you don't ask him about anything political (or anyhing Fox politicizes) you'd probably get a well reasoned answer.
  20. Things can always get worse
  21. Cue the X-Files theme song "That was no flare": 90,000 UFO sightings combined into one awesome map
  22. I never realized Luke Walton was an assistant coach for GSW Golden State with 3 Arizona players (Kerr, Iguodala, and Walton) EDIT- I'm being told Bruce Fraser as well
  23. Boom! I won some money
