Perhaps hoping that EMTs could do the job that the home's employees [by contract] could not do?  

What have the past four years been, if not an extended honeymoon?  With the additional pleasure of mutually trashing the exes.  The woman  sitting next to Ed Henry was gushing like a schoolgirl hoping the team captain will choose her as prom queen.  Disgusting.      

This administration has shown itself to be immune to shame or criticism. We'll see a series of "Benghazis", and be lied to about them, too.  After all if, as the President said, the US could withstand another 9/11 (presumably on home ground), he doesn't see any problem with using such crises to ratchet up the State, or ignoring them when it suits political purposes.  What are 4 dead Americans, and their distraught families, to him?  They don't much interest the MSM.     

Every LDS I have met seems decent, hard-working, and takes their faith seriously.  They strive for self-reliance.  That said, they invite those outside their faith to learn how to care for themselves.

I wish I were shocked that after Hail and Hosannas about the 1st Black President, I don't hear about how historic the first LDS President would be ,unlike the noise about the 1st RC President.  After all, wasn't the territory of the Saints at war with the USA only 150 years ago? 

"No, no, I said 'Listen to Steyn', not 'Lift a stein'".

Only a heartbeat away...

"For what shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

Is that too long for a bumper-sticker?  "If the USA is to become a suppressive banana republic, I'd be insulted not to be hanged by it?"

This couldn't be summed up better.  Well said.

How about "Ride the Duck"? 

When visitors (with little time) ask what to do--- I say, Pike Place Market and the waterfront.  They're not only tourist magnets, but the heart of Seattle.  Go to the flower market.  People watch. Breath in that fresh salt air and enjoy sunshine (while it lasts!).  Go to the Pink Door for a nightcap.  Or Kell's for Irish ambiance.

 I second the Museum of Flight, if you have young'uns, especially.  And  Seattle is esp. beautiful when seen from the water, so take an Argosy cruise.  The light here (when the sun cooperates!) is lively with color.  

Is it absolutely certain that he wrote no memoir?  He was very conscious of history, and the part he played in it:  might he have felt he owed it to the thousands who made that flight  possible to tell the story?  He was an engineer and a teacher: who better to understand the power of witness upon the next generation?   

Last year I bought a 2000 F150 5.4L V8 4WD Lariat for pulling horse and recreational trailers, intending it to be a weekend drive.  My daily ride was a dead-reliable 1991 Honda Accord which, after I had bought the truck, ceased to be reliable except in how much it took to fix.  I sold it to a friend with the knowledge and time to tinker.    Thankfully, my commute is short (20 miles a day, total).  However, as the F150 gets 16mpg locally (but 23mpg highway!) I plan grocery runs, library stops,  and minor errands wisely.  

It's taken time to get used to the handling differences between the two.  Had no idea that a truck can't turn as sharply as a small sedan, or that it was even possible to break a tie-rod when reversing in 4wd---who knew!  But I enjoy driving it.    

Sherman was dealing with an opponent who, however valiant, was schooled in the 'Western way of war':  to carry on the fight until the cost is too high to bear.  After  the capital Tokyo was fire-bombed and flattened, few Allied commanders could have imagined that the Japanese would not surrender.  I can only imagine that it would be like pounding mercilessly an opponent in the ring, who yet would bring his  family, his culture, his emperor, his gods, into the fight rather than yield.  

Ditto:  unless the guest host is the incomparable Mark Steyn!

The nearest Chick-fil-A to the Seattle area is 369-odd miles away, at Boise State University.  I checked...

Math problem:  At $3.65/gal, driving a F-150 that gets 16mph/highway, how much would a giant order of waffle fries cost?  Add in sandwiches for extra credit.
