Interesting concept

But I can't see it catching on. It might be soothing and calming and everything, but the water had better be at room temp.

Naw! be way to soggy for me and my laptop wouldn't like it

Ack! don't tell me that was an old wives tale! The amount of time we spent as kids racing around on our bikes chasing rainbows was wasted?

B-52 on the USS Nimitz CVN-68

True story...bet the bad guy's satellites went berserk looking at this one...! ( and it wasn't the Navy paying off a bet against AF!)

While this may look like a gag shot, it is actually a "transport of a transport" necessity. The B-52 was in Beirut, Lebanon undergoing routine fuel tank cleaning. Workmen accidentally damaged the bladder system and had to install the bladders from smaller C-130s temporarily.

The plane was flown to nearby McCollough air base where it was lifted upon a barge bound for Tyre on the Mediterranean. Once there it was off-loaded onto the carrier deck for transport to Crete where the appropriate tank bladders were installed. It was then flown back to Beirut! Military cooperation in action.

Great photo! How are they going to push that overboard during general quarters?

An application for a passport

Or an exciting trip through Australia's bureaucracy!

My wife, daughter and I are going overseas in September (more on that later) So we decided that although there is plenty of time (ha ha ha) , we should apply for our passports now.

And just as well.

We started to fill out the forms, entering our details over and over (why do they make us do that?) . We weren't anticipating any trouble since both the Mrs and I have had passports in the past but were well out of date. So we come to the bit where we have to fill out the marriage licence stuff (this is because my wife's Maiden name is different to her married name) and quickly realise that our church marriage certificate isn't going to cut it this time, we are going to need an official document from 'Hatches Matches and Dispatches' (department of Births, deaths and marriages) to verify it.

"Naw! This can't be right" I said, "I'll check with the post office tomorrow"

And I do. My argument is that my wife already has a passport with her married name on it, why do we have to jump through this extra hoop for? Surely the old document is good enough?

"Nup" is the answer and "because" is the explanation given in good old bureactise.
"You have to get a certificate from the department in town. Oh? You were married in NSW? Then you'll have to get one from them. When are you going overseas? September? Hmph, just as well as the department in NSW are not reknown for their speed"

She did however give me a heavily photocopied sheet giving me directions to the brisbane office and all the phone numbers and web sites for the interstate ones. I got the feeling that they gave this out often.

So after some deep web surfing I managed to get the correct form and filled it out. Apparently a non urgent request will take 5 weeks to do and $42 plus $8 postage and handling while an urgent request costs $62 (plus postage!) and takes a week!

The Mrs was tempted to go the urgent route but I'll be damned if I'll pay some government department what is essentually extortion money that prays on someones misfortune (needing the doco urgently)

So 5 weeks for the marriage certificate to show that the old passport was right all along and that my wifes name really is the same as mine. Another 4 or 5 weeks for the passport - after we have got the photo's PRECISELY right and signed, then maybe we'll be able to go on our trip.

The cost so far? Well $206 dollars for me and the Mrs, $103 for my 15yr old daughter and $50 for the marraige certificate.

$565!!

wonderful!

A licence to have kids?

.
Personally I don't have a problem with this handling technique, it's functional and requires only one hand. It has its drawbacks though, you can only use it for a short while and there's the very real danger of a massive up chuck.
.
.

But then I probably wouldn't qualify for a child raising licence if they ever brought one in!
