re: What Happened to Army Surplus Stores?
Posted by TigersnJeeps on 8/8/26 at 5:27 pm to Spankum
When I worked construction in the FL summers in the 80s while in college, I would hit the surplus store for Vietnam era/style jungle boots.
They worked great.
Used jump boots during winters in Iowa.
I go to a surplus store now to buy long pants for working in the yard etc. Mostly USAF BDUs in this area....

Are these features on all or most Flock cameras? Do they have to be enabled by the contracting organization - like a subscription?

re: New term for “homeless” is “feral humans”

So words on a board are responsible for individuals being marginalized.
How would you define "marginalized"? Is it an abstract where individuals have opinions about a segment of society yet have no direct impact on them?
Or is where individuals by physical action or enacting policy that prevents others from improving their station?

re: Recs for quiet Florida gulf beach?

It is getting busier but still fairly quiet. With the National Seashore there, one can still get away.
Weekend traffic to/from Island can be a PITA. If you stay on the island, it can be mostly avoided.
September should be reasonable as schools are back in.

re: Northern Italy
Posted by TigersnJeeps on 7/27/26 at 11:05 am to Saintsisit
We drove through northern Italy for 2 weeks last year as they were preparing for the winter Olympics
Stayed at at an airBnB in Cortina.
Nice town, narrow streets. Beautiful area. Lots of great hikes.
Some of the trailheads have limited parking. Can't recall exactly which one, but you had to get there early do have a chance to park on the side of the road.

re: Middle aged people with braces
Posted by TigersnJeeps on 7/26/26 at 8:02 am to Allthatfades
After all 5 of us boomer kids got braces...... my mom got some in her 60s.
IIRC, they were done by our orthodontist's son which was kind of cool.

I wonder what his father thinks - being a retired USAF Chief.
He's alienating his hometown which is pretty conservative

Been a long time since I have heard Eglin and Club Fed used in the same sentence.
That facility was closed many years ago.... but it did hold some famous folks and provided a stable for lonely spouses of deployed/TDY USAF personnel (if rumors were to be believed)

just curious - what do you stand or show respect for?

Given Congress' propensity for doing little of positive consequence, bitching about the VP is a bit ironic.....even if accurate

In a way, my fandom has cooled more due to NIL, realignments and the like than to Auburn's woes.

I remember flying in a Martin 404 back in the 80s and DHC-8s (Dash-8s) in the 90s.
Hated the Dash-8s. Loud.
regional jets are fine IMO for reasons others have already pointed out.
