I read the Metro Times which FOIA'd the arrest reports...

Don't get a massage from a man you don't know who says he needs the extra hours to get certified.

I supported AOL (and other dial services) until 2012 and in an advisory role until 2015.  It was my understanding Level3 (Lumen now) was the only other dial network and they were shutting down soon after us.  Crazy how long it stuck around.

Had some old codger telling me I needed to drive across the GH Bridge when I came up this week. Turns out he hasn’t stepped foot in Michigan since Coleman Young was mayor.

I’ve been keeping tabs on the project since my son was involved with the reclamation of the land on the Michigan side of the bridge. He had a few stories to tell.

Bridge is done, apparently they can't get the customs houses into operation - construction/staffing/training, whatever. Some reports the Canadian side lost a ton of workers to the nearby Stellantis plant project and accusations that US gov is dragging its feet.

I run across the Ambassador on Sunday, coming back thru the tunnel... I can't wait to do the same on this one.   Than plan is to connect it to the Joe Louis Greenway.  What a great tribute for both those fellas.

more GH Bridge love.... this is looking south along I 75 at the Interchange.  That overpass being worked on is Junction street, which I grew up on.   75 seemed so far away as a kid but when I checked, it was... 2 blocks. Are you kidding me?  When you are 6 years old I guess that's far.

I think it would be the neatest thing EVER to figure out how to rob a place you are not suppose to be able to rob.

I think what is funny is that we all have this concept that a robbery like this has to be absolutely brilliant and sophisticated - cat burglar style and all,  but this was closer to a smash and grab job. Chainsaws for goodness sake! :classic_laugh:

I haven't followed so I don't know, but many times history told us criminals are many times not too smart.

It's about the biggest and bestest burgle. How cool would it be to plan the greatest heist in history? I was a burglar as a young puppy so I love that stuff.

SpaceX has a lot to prove with their HLS system before any landings.  Artemis II flies by the moon, not going into orbit, not even replicating Apollo 8, but HLS isn't involved in that.  The HLS is ambitious.  It's not like the Apollo where the lander goes along for the ride.  This flies up separately, gets fueled several times in earth orbit, then takes off on it's own towards the moon.  Then in lunar orbit the crew will transfer from Orion to the HLS.

 

NASA, according to it's acting leader, says they are opening up the contract for the lunar lander to other companies because SpaceX is so far behind.  I'm not sure what that means.  They're nervous about China getting there first.  I suspect if we do go back that China will get there first. Artemis III is years away in my very amateur opinion.
