You would likely enjoy watching Matt's Off Road Recovery videos then. He personally owns at least 20 Corvairs and the most recent count. He just loves Corvairs! His "signature" recovery vehicle is a heavily modified Corvair Station Wagon they named the "MOORVAIR..."

That is no great surprise since Lockheed-Martin intended from the outset to be a professional flight simulator. In actual fact, they had originally intended for P3D to not be sold for "recreational use." It took a lot of "lobbying" from simmers to change their original plans.

I am at least covered by the Veteran's Administration for all of my health needs sans dental care. One has to have served a full 20 years to gain dental coverage. I had to have two X-Rays taken a few weeks ago and asked to use the Community Care option to have it done in one of the two local hospitals rather than having to drive 70 miles round trip to the VA Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. If I hadn't had VA coverage, the bill would have been $3,920 USD! The Medicare approved rate was a paltry $83.71 with zero co-pay, which is what the government considers a fair rate. This is but one example of the ridiculous disparity between those who have insurance coverage versus those who are uninsured...

I have been watching a wonderful and entertaining series featuring the charity run Helicopter Medics where they literally bring the A&E advanced care directly to the injured parties. What a wonderful service! What is so interesting is that this series features real patients not staged like they would be here in the U.S.

Spot was very fortunate to have Data as his friend and protector!

"Fascinating," thus spake Spock.

Well, I was already 34 when it first was broadcast, but it still scared the bejebus out of me! 😄

I jokingly renamed that to "Voyage to see what's on the Bottom." 🤪

Wow Paul! What you've been through makes my ordeal last year sound like not much of a challenge. I thought four hospitalizations in just over six months was bad... Twice in a row for congested lungs, third visit for bleeding ulcers, and finally removal of an infected gall bladder. Since then my oxygen saturation is fairly constant 97%, and BP and heart rate normal. I'll keep you in my evening prayers my friend.

Actually no I haven't read it (yet). Thanks for the suggestion. Fortunately, it is now in my Kindle Library for "Freely Borrowed." This book was written the year I was hatched! 🤪

That "Airbike" looks like actual fun!

Between The Day After, On the Beach, and Alas, Babylon (as well as a few other apocalyptic fictions, I probably lost two months' worth of sleep to nightmares overall. Although we cannot discuss the matter here, I too believe that the possibility of such an event now is "more likely." I have on my library shelf a three book series by William Forstchen titled One Second After, One Year After, and The Final Day. I have another more expansive series of six volumes collectively entitled The Remaining by D.J. Molles, which explores the results of an engineered virus that acts to "zombiefie" 90 percent of the Earth's population. Parenthetically, Amazon was kind enough to tell me that I had read 456 e-Books over the past year! Yikes!

I just got sucked into diving into a black hole and forced to watch "The Day After," which I hadn't seen since it appeared on TV as a mini-series in 1983. Now I'll be up all night trying to avoid nightmares of nuclear Armageddon... 🤢

Say it as "fleshlight" and you possibly might figure it out... You certainly would not find these devices at Wall Mart or even Dollar General! 🤐

1: What then pray tell do y'all call the surface you walk on inside the physical structure? The "ground" perhaps? 2: Technically speaking, it would be incorrect to refer to a concrete sidewalk or road "pavement," since said noun is strictly referring to an asphalt construct.
