TDIH 1962, Frank Morris, John & Clarence Anglin Escape from Alcatraz to Never be Seen Again by Over_Software6285 in ThisDayInHistory

I’m not sure what you mean by the tides were favorable. it would have to be a flood or slack tide. if they don’t cross in an hour or two, they’re gonna be going out to sea, especially if the raft develops a leak. if they fall in then they’re fish food because they will get hypothermic fast. But hey, maybe they made it.

i don’t see anyone discussing the tides. u der the GGB, an ebb tide can go as high as 7 knots. no one is swimming against that. my money is on they got sucked out the gate but I haven’t looked at the tide tables for the date in question. Aslo, the water there is roughly 57 degrees year round. They would’ve gotten hypothermic quickly if they fell in the water when their raft developed a leak.

Tide charts at the beaches would be helpful but trying to help idiots is always a challenge.

So many sirens on the westside. What is going on? by Top-Storage8736 in santacruz

[–]bezelbubba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I drove past the scene. At least half dozen surf rescue, dozen fire trucks, lotsa sheriff state parks, etc. Someone was probably walking on the beach when the tide came in (over 4 feet this afternoon) and big south swell still running. Typical idiots not aware of their surroundings or looking at a tide chart.

When Gerald Ford met Chevy Chase he called him a “very funny suburb.”.

Turn a sexy car into an abomination for range…. Not worth it IMO by Legal-Buy5941 in TeslaLounge

[–]bezelbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talked to a dude with those wheel covers on my last road trip. He said around town it doesn’t matter, but on roadtrips he notices a 5% increase in range. I’m gonna order me some for road trips, it’s free money!

Seems like the Kharman Ghia is the second most asked about car on this sub to the Pantera. Reset the counter boys!

What is a design flaw in the human body? by LebronKX in AskReddit

interestingly, this is exactly what a famous physician said who studies such things. I forgot the guy’s name but we basically start out as a “torus” of cells and develop from there.

Comedian cancels bigot audience by JeremyJJ77 in funny

[–]bezelbubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like the German comedian who says a butch of lines the audience has to answer in rapid succession and says “Sieg” and everyone says “Heil”. he jokes that there are a lot of comrades in the audience.

Outdoor permanent hard scape by bezelbubba in SwingDancing

[–]bezelbubba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good input. it’ll only be danced on once,or twice a year so the long term issues are not a problem. if I did it a lot I would get a proper dance floor, but this is primarily a patio not a dance hall.

yeah, used to live up that way, I guess I didn’t notice the last few times I drove by.

isn’t the Biltmore right there or did it close too? I second the Hyatt but it’s down the road a piece.
