You're surprised?

No.

And that fact itself is sad.

Why can't they make a new version of a series that isn't rubbish?

Probably because some bureaucrats are accountants (actually a great many) , just as a great many politicians are lawyers. It's that old "guilt-by-association" thing!

And to physically mis-place a destroyer, it's hard. To do it with accounting data? That's easy!Ask any Bureaucrat!

My wife just finished a fiscal law course given by the US Army and despite being a Navy Lawyer for 20+ years , and having spent about a thrid of that time in DC , it really opened her eyes.

Being a lawyer, meself (a patent lawyer, one of the good guys, no divores, no slip and fall) and being a Principal in a company that regularly contracts with DOD, DARPA, NASA, I gotta tell ya that it's all likely true. Stuff that happens in DC is so totally bizarre, that your worst Byzantine nightmare is like Sponge Bob by comparison.

As a patent attorney, do you ever wind up visiting the DC area? (Like the US patent office in Alexandria?) If you do please look me up. Maybe we can do a metro DC WITP summit in your honor!

I'm pretty sure it's cooler in southern France: the see and the wind will cool the air. Where i live, i'm much closer of a continental climat...that's why i usually "compete" with L�o Apollo.
And in fact, i'd like so much to have your climat

Actually, Denmark is traditionally considered to have continental climate as well, though it's in the process of changing for the hotter.

Wow, so i've learned something about your country, i always thought it was a oceanic climat...

(no intention of offending, i am serious: i really learned something).

Is it because you are far from the Gulf Stream (with Great Britain masking it?) .
Doesn't the North Sea make your country an oceanic one ?

Nope, it's Continental, but warming. We are kinda tucked away, with Norway to the north and the UK to the west.

hmm, only 75 F ( 24 C ) here in Memphis. Our hot days are just starting. But it does get hot, and stay hot , and very humid from early June until mid September or so.

Wouldn't the fact that your country is mostly a peninsular or islands (in other words, mostly surrounded by water) have a lot to do with it?

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

While it will be too crowded for Arlington or the Navy memorial, I may drive over to pay my respects to Iwo Jima and The USAF memorial.

Best wishes for this Memorial day to all forumites, and those who served. And a toast to "absent friends".

I think like Mynok , ribs tonght!

Correct, but also the fact that we're shielded from a lot of prevailing weather patterns by Norway and the UK.

So the water warms the land , and the UK and Norway break up the storms (and absorbe some rain?). Sounds like a nice recipe for a pleasant ,temperate climate!
