I wonder why the US coast guard vessels are outside the US.
USN suffers from vessel shortage?

Saw plenty of them in the Persian Gulf back in '03 when I was there.

I think I saw him sitting on a blanket on a sidewalk corner, beads in his hair, near UC Berkeley's Sather Gate, 1964.

Pretty clear that's already gone up in smoke.

He is starting the 60 ies all over again. Now... to find some bands that can write a song and a god that plays gitar.

Forgive me being a butthead but I always preferred Clapton's playing before he sobered up.

I bow down to your musical appreciation. I do have to say though, I've never been a big fan of Rush - Geddy's voice is like nails down a blackboard to me... Each to their own I guess, but I can certainly appreciate their musical genius, Neil Peart = GOAT (along with Bonzo, Copeland, Carey and in my humble opinion Nicko McBrain who is vastly underrated)...

Totally get it, it's bad for me as well. I always loved the thoughtfulness of the lyrics, and the badass musicianship from all the members. RIP, Professor.

Sounds nice and suspensful. Electric and acoustic.

Agreed, there's more than a whiff of autocracy in the Solomons governance in the last few months' news.

Give a guy a million Yuan and he thinks he's special.

 

[GrauGeist]

I'd feel pretty special with a million Yuan.

Of course, that's about 143K, but I could do stuff with that. Most certainly.
