Leading the charge seems to be “demand lanes” even surge lanes is a contender. The consensus is that we need them to ease the congestion on our interstate system. Everyone looks to our neighbor to the south r/sic they have them. Problema/Sp Atlantas demand lanes increase congestion during peak hours. The north & south lanes are after Atlanta’s loop (285).

In an example of Gresham's law, these coins were quickly hoarded by the public after the Coinage Act of 1965 debased half dollars to contain only 40% silver, and then were debased entirely in 1971 to base cupronickel (right)." Today's factoid -- Memo to POSITV Stalag 17 depicts life in a prisoner of war camp, NOT a "death camp" -- Typically the Luftwaffe (read military) was responsible.  Banjo music courtesy of Banjo HangOut,  Waiting For The Robert E.

As he reminded the committee his personal feelings are what we ask justices “to put aside” & rule on the law of the thingYou may order a copy of the e-book of Spade&Archer a Prequel©(2020) for $6.95 emailOr A PDF copy for $12.95 plus $5.95/S&H & priority mailing ($8.00)These copies contain a further special offer.

Banjo music courtesy of Banjo HangOut -- The Entertainer The one thing which Wikipedia and most history gloss over is that unlike America’s Ninji Warriors & most modern reality TV shows, behind the scenes (of This Old House) is an editor who reviews the tape and spices it together to create “the show”. His equipment was a razor blade and tape!  This was in the age before digital production.

After his first voyage, his reward was the title Admiral of The Ocean Sea.  It’s not well known he returned from his last voyage in chains. So much for Ollie's assertion that CC plundered those peaceful savages he encountered. For a graphic representation of Columbus's career, I suggest you consult a Scotts' Stamp Catalogue. Look up United States Post Office Colombian Exhibition stamp series 1892/3.

At that time the free version only permitted 25 blocked calls per month. iPhone users were permitted to block calls starting with iOS 7. Before that, if you wanted to block a call you had to add the caller to Contacts. It was all good however Contacts is bottomless. Unlike my Motorola razor which permitted only 40 contacts.  If you have multiple smartphones on a family plan, YouMail will permit “family sharing”, so you will need only one subscription.You may request a PDF copy of my Ten Best Hacks for Creating Great Interview Podcasts for $9.95.

Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church & Dr. Ming Wang Answer on terrestrial radio they cost you more! Ask Kim Komando!A token of my appreciation is winging its way toward podnews an online podcast development service from the UK.A podcast critic from the UK dinged a podcast host for “doing it badly”. Of course, he’s entitled to his opinion. If you’re lucky enough to have a sponsor, treat them well.The only thing poor performance can cost you is listeners & they are everything. Yes, it helps to “separate” commercial content from “editorial” but that’s a function of “stingers”. Those little broadcast squiggles are so beloved of “real” radio. I am reminded of a comment by Mark Twain “Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.”I have changed it to: “Don’t pick a fight with anyone who only goes by initials which includes: IRS, BMI, & ASCAP.”FYI/Internal Revenue Service (the income tax guys - for the benefit of listers in the UK), Broadcast Music Inc, American Society of Compose
