Any states have commemorative plates this year?

Not sure about 1976, but LA had its own bicentennial

Semiquincentinnial

Well first I’ve heard of that.

Why does it seem like the 200th anniversary was so much of a bigger deal? Like the 250th anniversary seems to be barely a bigger deal than the 249th or 248th anniversary.


Because it was a bicentennial. What do you call this… 250? Heck, the bicentennial had its own currency created for wide circulation.



I enjoy the celebrations that there are this year, but if anything I feel like it’s a “stop trying to make it happen” moment in terms of trying to make it like a ___centennial celebration.

I was born in 78, so I will miss the tricentennial :banghead:

Ours is doing the same. Slivers along the edges of some of the planks delaminate. I’m going to have to go fill them all in with epoxy so they don’t continue to propagate.
It’s just a tube with Roman candles. The spinning action doesn’t do anything but that. It doesn’t fire, stop, and restart on demand.

dint know why these movies don't just pick a comic storyline and follow it.

Because the writers’ egos can’t be satisfied with that, they have to be “creative.”
I know someone that spent 9 hours at a dealer recently. Absolutely a waste of time. I’ll probably never buy new again until I can order one online and go pick it up.

What’s the status of the TX office? Haven’t seen any recon photos lately.
About 15% of my 401k is in small/mid cap. Is it time to transfer out of that into large cap?

Oh Independence Day. No, I love the holiday.

Not as much as the 25th of December though.

e cameraman did an excellent job of keeping the shot smooth and centered.

Large camcorders were easier to keep steady than phones due to their ergonomics… handles/straps, and a viewfinder that required it to be pressed against your face making it easier to maintain control.
