In all my days of traveling - I always started with empty bags (whatever type I was using).

Then laid out everything on bed and packed from there.

Nothing in it that I didn't know about. Also didn't have "oh I forgot an item"... This was clothing, dive equipment, and later computer equipment.

I hope the judge lays into them.

Too many American's believe the U.S. laws follow them and that they are above the laws of the lands they are visiting.

The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.

If you have anything in your life with Teflon... for decades. Get rid of it.

This is biggest reason I've shifted to all cast iron or stainless cookware.

At my age, too late of course - as our bodies have no way to break it down to excrete it. But no reason to keep using it.

I grew up with cast iron and copper/stainless. Then in 70s ...Teflon began invading our cooking world.

One thing that is amazing about that ship in Baltimore... is that for the most part - the weather has not been a disaster for them.

Occasional rain / wind storms - yes.

But thankfully this is not later in the summer season when hurricane's could be coming up the coast.

--
Refloated and towed to actual dock with cranes.

Immigration will be working with the crew to get them off the ship and off to home.

This ship will be offloaded, investigation will continue, and eventually repairs...

In the 80's, I'd go there with a group of folks as part of scuba trips... fairly regularly.

Hardly went there in 90's...

Wife and I went to local one about a decade ago. Was not a good memory. Didn't get sick or anything like that... just the whole experience was nothing like our 80's visits.

I don't think the buildings have ever been updated. There's having a theme... and there is saving money by not remodeling.

HCB sent me a recipe for artichoke. I love artichoke, & I was w/ her the 1st time I ever had them (at Baba Yaga in Houston--gawd, I loved that restaurant). It was a b-day lunch, & it's kind of wild anything tasted good that day, bc I had the worst hangover I'd ever had in my life. In fact, I'd woken up on HCB's bathroom floor that morning, freaking out, believing I'd gone blind ...

bc the black midi skirt I'd worn the night b4 was up over my head & I was still too hammered to realize it. +

Having to get film developed and then scanned into a jpg file definitely put a big delay into "sharing" back in the 90s.

Prior to that... multiple copies could be developed and then mailed --- but woo wee... the cost to do that.

Thank you. Thank you. Pre-digital.

Thanasis' post popped into my view, hence I jumped into the thread w/no prior knowledge of subject matter.

Mirror seemed like a way for person to view themselves - intentionally or not.

Maybe it is incidental to what they might be looking at in what is now behind them... or out the corner of their eye or as a way to keep an eye on someone else.

Reading other responses... is family portrait's (paint or camera) an option?

'The power-user way to use Google Search web now takes a lot of clicks. You'd want to click on "more" and then "Web" for actual web results, and then to get Google to actually pay attention to the words you type in, you'd want to click "Tools" and change "all results" to "verbatim." Alternatively, you could also find a more web-focused search engine instead of Google.'

I often wonder why pan bottoms are essentially flat and allow the heat to move right to the sides, up and away...

If they put some ribs there - sure - the heat would still overflow to the sides, but it would not be so fast and more than likely - we could run at lower temps... hence saving money for the heat source.
