Pop told me that the flight surgeon would issue meds to help when they had multiple day missions. He said once that he had to declare an emergency crew rest and the whole crew slept for over 24 hours. The hotel sent in someone to see if they were still alive, no one woke up. That was Vietnam.
Fun fact! The ‘Normal’ road-going Mk1 Ford Escort already had the stiffening in the front as the inner wings were double skinned, like the Mexico. What happened was the production line was set up to produce bodies for the rally car, and they just built the road-going Mexico and Non-Mexico versions to a lower spec using different engines/suspension/interior etc. The basic Mk1 Ford Escort had an 1100cc OHV engine, four-speed manual transmission, unassisted brakes, and 12″ steel wheels. Higher spec models could have a 1300cc OHV engine, vacuum assisted brakes, and 13″ wheels. I’m not sure if automatic transmission was ever offered in the Mk1, I know it was in the Mk2 as certain models (The Ghia for example) was available with the 1600cc engine. The rally version of the Mk2 was the RS2000 which had a 2000cc OHV engine.
My first car was a 1975 Mk2 Escort Estate with a 1300cc OHV engine, vacuum assisted brakes, and 13″ wheels, and because it was the Estate, the whole thing, apart from the front tinwork from the doors forward, and the interior dashboard/controls, was exactly the same as the Mk1.

The more intelligent the animal the more it will play as an adult.
So cute! Wouldn’t you just love to cuddle them?
If I only wanted one more cuddle in my life… and didn’t mind extreme fish breath.

Cool that Mr Luisi got the Beatles to walk through all that water just to redo that cover.
It looks really cold, but Paul is still barefoot.
Paul didn’t want to get his new shoes wet.

Read the comic HERE.
So if the stories were ripped from “tomorrow’s headlines” back when comic books were 10¢….
I wonder what day the newspapers had big holes in the front pages.
I must not have noticed.
I was probably busy with classes and homework and stuff.

Gahan Wilson, the early years…
This may or may not be “Outside the Window” by Lipatov (only one name given).
My uncertainty, or perhaps even skepticism, stems from the fact that the results I found were all from DeviantArt.com …
A site on which I’ve found too much obviously stolen art to consider it 100% reliable.

Ok, I guess it was correct.
I wonder why the first one didn’t show up in my search…. I even googled his name!
I didn’t google. Maybe that’s why?

Now these ones you can cuddle…
You can cuddle just about anything, depending upon what you consider an acceptable lifespan.
Oh… And I guess your pain tolerance.

Yes. It seems fairly clear.
Thesee often have more digits barely visible on the outside. Don’t see ’em here though. I think Steve is right.

A wonderful bird is the pelican
His beak can hold more than his bellican

To last him a week
And I don’t see how in the Hellican.

“Video unavailable,” but the story was worth a like!
Same here with the unavailability.
That’s weird.
It’s playing for me.
Anyway, Its a PBS documentary about meth use during WW II.

Wow! West Side Bassets!
I love West Side Bassets!
Look at the two little pairs of dancers… bassets at their most graceful.
….
Tony and Maria… what a couple… the sky falls away.
Street gangs, finger snapping, knives… this wasn’t your parents musical….
And Georgie Chakibble! Stretching his little basset legs to the sky!
Hey, if the Mexican human Antony Quinn can play the quintessential Greek, Zorba…
Greek basset Georgie can play the leader of the Puerto Rican basset gang!
…
And the music. Wow… this wasn’t like any other.
i skipped around like Maria…
