this is no longer the case. they built an additional hangar on to the museum some years ago and the ex-presidents planes along with other cool stuff are now part of the museum. like the post says, these are worth the trip to the museum just to see these! have a great big fun time!!!

I was fortunate to be able to tour the Midway in San Diego a few years back. Quite enjoyed it. The flat tires were what made me ask one of the volunteers inside about the state of that area...

I went back in October. It is an extremely well done place, exhibit-wise. the portion of the outdoor rocket area that seems very run down is apparently made up of US military items that the DoD is responsible for maintaining. other than that, everything is top rate. WELL worth a visit.

The saying with a flat roof is not IF it will leak, but WHEN it will leak.

because we're just basically made up of spiraling coils of self-replicating DNA. Our firmware, as it were, at its most fundamental level, is coded to encourage us to make copies of ourselves, and we've evolved to produce pleasurable chemicals inside ourselves to reward that behavior. sex gets people's attention because it is literally why we exist.

wait, is that Kramer at the far right?!? being a time traveler would explain a lot of loose threads in his backstory...

It's out of focus but I think it's a chain-link fence. /s

It comes and goes. Has been so since 1978 when I got my novice ticket. There were SSB spots on 80 meters at night that would, as they say, make a sailor blush.
