They have lakes and rivers in Nebraska that one can use pleasure craft on. How else do you think they can irrigate the corn?

Rain?

OK , Mars. But the "cannon " is dead. Enterprise damaged it, and the new "Star Trek" killed it!

Maybe, but since no one watched Enterprise, it doesnt count.

Some of us did.

Well, I just received the 'official" phone call. I will be in Omaha Nebraska on 1 May , 2010.

Well. Do you want congrats or condolences?

Condolences. It's a awfully short time for moving. I guess I can forget about sleep or the Thread for the next two months.....

What will you do while you're there?

Buy a boat, get a job, join the Curtis Lemay flying club, learn the local history , continue my masters program on line, volunteer at some military museum (probably the SAC museum). Join a gun club , and most dangerous of all, try to teach my wife to shoot (again). I'll keep busy. And lots of road trips to a part of the country I've never lived in before.

Boats? In Nebraska?

Yep. Small boats for lake and river use, but boats. About a 16-18 footer will work fine for me.

It's nice to have variety in ancestors (that old genetic thing ya know! ). I'm a boring 75% Quebecois,with a quarter Irish contaminataion thrown in. At least that's what my dad used to say to taunt my late mother , who was very proud of he Irish heritage. He used to love to play "Blazing saddles" for that particular scene where (politically correct version) they would let in the 1st two ethnic groups , but NO IRISH! That ALWAYS had her out of her chair screaming at the TV.

I'm starting to see where you get your sense of humor from.

Yes , unfortunately Dad. I got his looks, voice and really wired sense of humor. From mom , I got her extremely violent and hot temper, and incessent desire for revenge!

No , but if you read the rest of the story , my ancestor got just about everything else wrong too!

Hey, look at the bright side. If you ancestor hadnt been so gullible, you'd be Canadian. Granted, you'd have health care, but thats too steep a price to pay.

Oh absolutely!

US$3.3bn for this?!?!?!

USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000)

It takes a lot of money to make a ship that ugly! It's a good thing that the USN cancelled the program. That pig's too ugly to live!

Steve, but aren't there 3 of those ordered and paid already (and not canceled entirely - just not the 32 planned at the beginning)?

They will be US$3.3bn a piece!

Philistine. Every Trekkie knows she was built (the D model) at Utopia Planitia shipyards, not on Earth.

True. But 1701 was built in San Fran.

No , it was built in a corn field in Iowa.

According to what?

The last Star Trek movie.......Yuri , you are so behind the times!

Correct. Funny story , my wife's old boss, Admiral Barry McCullougha (he was battle group commander of the Enterprise battlegroup, as salty a seadog as Halsey) had to sell the 32 ships to congress. Then had to go back and unsell them!

Not a happy man. And he had a most creative way with swearing when angry! The man should have been a drill sargent!

With their national health care, aren't there still some Canadians waiting for MRIs and surgeries from the War of 1812?
