        This is why it's called "space."

              And Richie Ashburn was an original met, meaning he was on the 1962 expansion franchise roster. Batted .306 and was the only met in the all star game. That year the Mets were 40-120.

                            Think of the days before weather forecasting. When it started raining you had no idea if it was going to blow by in an hour or destroy your home.

                                      Interesting. Several times I dove to a bit south of the recreational dive limit, 130ft at least back in the day, but you don’t notice that transition with scuba gear.

                                          American battleship USS Indiana (BB-58) arrives home after the war. Taken from the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, on 29 September 1945.
