    Kids, especially little boys like them. Never drove a monster truck, but I've driven pickups that you had to jump to get into the cab. Mud daubing is a fun way to tear up stuff.

    But that's reductions in vested pensions. New hires are not vested. In most systems, many employees with less than five or ten years are not vested. That's where you start saving. Either you go to a hybrid system such as FERS or the state of Alabama, or you raise the number of years necessary to retire, or you lower the average compensation rate. Example...For many Louisiana state jobs, you now must work until 60, you will receive 2%/yr compensation based on your best 5 years. If you wish your spouse to receive benefits when you die, you'll have to take a 5%-10% cut... That's important, because due to GPO, your spouse will not usually receive any SS widow or widower benefits. Not that it would amount to much because of the WEP.

    @George-K said in "Are You Safe?": @Mik said in "Are You Safe?": Good idea, if staff is trained to handle the fallout. If it's in the bathroom, you can bet they have been. @Jolly said in "Are You Safe?" A way to address some of the Joint stuff. They're just going to kick it to state social services and I'm guessing they'll decide about bringing law enforcement in... Half empty tonite... Voice of experience.

    @George-K said in Train Porn: As much as I love seeing all the moving parts of a steam locomotive, it's really tech from the 1800s Today I was able to see a real steam train in action. Thailand runs special steam trains during certain holidays, and today is the Queen birthday. So, I went down to the main train station to see it depart. Quite cool.

    @Axtremus said in Football State: Prompted me to look this up: https://www.maxpreps.com/m/news/VAmBYNu0NkWDkoYmBIDzwA/states-with-most-nfl-hall-of-famers.htm It ranks the states by the number of NFL Hall of Famers produced. Enjoy! There’s actually a circle that covers from southern Michigan through Western PA, and includes most of Ohio that was the birth area the majority of HoF players and like 90% of HoF coaches.
