I've never heard of him, but the mention of Life Magazine makes me nostalgic. One of those things that you only miss when it's gone. Between Life and N.G. I completed more than a few homework assignments.

Finally, some sense from the courts:

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Syllabus
MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ET AL.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
No. 08–1521. Argued March 2, 2010—Decided June 28, 2010
Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. ___, this
Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep
and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and struck down a Dis-
trict of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the
home. Chicago (hereinafter City) and the village of Oak Park, a Chi-
cago suburb, have laws effectively banning handgun possession by
almost all private citizens. After Heller, petitioners filed this federal
suit against the City, which was consolidated with two related ac-
tions, alleging that the City’s handgun ban has left them vulnerable
to criminals. They sought a declaration that the ban and several re-
lated City ordinances violate the Second and Fourteenth Amend-
ments. Rejecting petitioners’ argument that the ordinances are un-
constitutional, the court noted that the Seventh Circuit previously
had upheld the constitutionality of a handgun ban, that Heller had
explicitly refrained from opining on whether the Second Amendment
applied to the States, and that the court had a duty to follow estab-
lished Circuit precedent. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, relying on
three 19th-century cases—United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542,
Presser v. Illinois, 116 U. S. 252, and Miller v. Texas, 153 U. S. 535—
which were decided in the wake of this Court’s interpretation of the
Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause in the
Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36.
Held: The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded...

I read the paper once in a while.
Sure, I'm sitting cross-legged at the library, wearing Birkenstocks, sipping latte, and listening to Sitar music, but that shouldn't be held against me.

It supposed to be revenue neutral. But we know how that goes.

Morning guys. Seems the Missouri river has decided that we have too many parking stalls here at the plant, so it's invaded the parking lot. Hope it doesn't get too much higher.

We had almost 10" in the month of June. Up until this week, it rained almost every day. Right now, the Army corps of engineers is releasing water out of Gavins Point Dam up river from us, so that's where it's from right now. Supposed to crest on Thursday.

It's got a 6.0 badge on the door, and that's not a '99 badge on the fender.
Probably is a scam.
If that's so, why did you post it? Do you want one of us to get scammed?
