    Be glad you didn't come. Final crowd number was three quarters of a home football game but traffic control was less than a women's basketball game. Traffic was at a standstill all over town. ICE protesters talked early in the week to have demonstrations and block traffic. They didn't have to...

    Penn State/Michigan Hockey on the TV now. 70,000 tickets sold, tailgating began this morning at 7 am. Outside temp was 7F. As someone who was a season ticket holder for PSU hockey for many years in the past I would love to be there but my wife said no way.

    That is interesting, I did not know of any systems like that close by. I was on the the board of the local sewer authority for around thirty years. Average about 5-6 million gallons a day from the borough, four townships, and Penn State University. One of my favorite TV people was Winston...

    Wondering if I can add power trim to my 82 mercury

    If my memory serves me right that there is no head gasket or removable head on those old Mercs. That leak is from the cylinder block cover which is basically a water jacket. If just a few drops now and then I would leave it alone as removing the cover to replace the cover gasket on a motor...

    Cigarettes, shocked!

    I think they were $1.50 carton in port, Ninety cents at sea but don't remember what year. I quit years ago when they went up to forty cents a pack from the machine. I said someday they will be a half a buck a pack and I will never pay that. One of the best decisions I ever made.

    Difference between U.S. & Cdn. capacity plates

    The dispatchers figure it out along with needed fuel, etc, using a standard weight per person. I did read once that there are times they have to calculate more like for a charter of a pro football team. Dispatchers do all the planning for a flight, All an airline pilot has to do is fly the...
