Are u anywhere around NY. Now they’re saying on the News their dumb mayor you got telling people just lay down and cover your neck in a quake. That’s stupid.

They did say Californians told them that is wrong. Get outside or go in a doorway. I agree with getting out of you recognize it I immediately and can get out fast and beware of any porch or over hang that cam fall and get clear but the doorway thing might be okay in a small one but not a big one. I saw what happened to open doors in big one. The split in two. Anyone standing in those doors would of been impaled or stabbed in the abdomen with wood. If you have to get down in a fetal position. At the Veterans the roofs collapsed and many doors all together. Of they would of got to the floor next to the bed many would of survived. Same for cars under bridges. Many would of survived if they could get out of the car fast and laid down making them self as low and small as possible next to the car except maybe cars at the edge in or out that also could of got out fast and got away. Even today I leave a lot of space between me and a car on any bridge because if I feel a quake I’m not just gonna sit there.  For many reasons they need to make one snap release on infant and children in car seats.

Dale Robertson lived just a few miles from me and was often in local cafes. He had nothing good to say about Barbra Stanwyck.

Posted by Richard640 @ 6:37 on April 6, 2024  

Stanwyck, at age 45, had a four-year romantic affair with 22-year-old actor Robert Wagner that had begun on the set of Titanic (1953)

a one-night stand with Farley Granger,
 
Political views
A conservative Republican, Stanwyck opposed the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. She felt that if someone from her disadvantaged background had risen to success, others should be able to prosper without government intervention or assistance.[92] For Stanwyck, “hard work with the prospect of rich reward was the American way.” She became an early member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals (MPA) after its founding in 1944. The mission of this group was to “combat … subversive methods [used in the industry] to undermine and change the American way of life.”[93][94] It opposed both communist and fascist influences in Hollywood. She publicly supported the investigations of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and her husband Robert Taylor testified as a friendly witness.[95] Stanwyck supported Thomas E. Dewey in the 1944 and 1948 United States presidential elections.[96][97]
*************************************************************************************
A fan of Objectivist author Ayn Rand, Stanwyck persuaded Warner Bros. head Jack L. Warner to purchase the rights to The Fountainhead before it became a bestseller, and she wrote to Rand of her admiration of Atlas Shrugged.[92][98]
Stanwyck was one of the best-liked actresses in Hollywood and maintained friendships with many of her fellow actors (as well as crew members of her films and TV shows), including Joel McCrea and his wife Frances Dee, George Brent, Robert Preston, Henry Fonda (who had a longtime crush on her),[82][83] James Stewart, Linda Evans, Joan Crawford, Jack Benny and his wife Mary Livingstone, William Holden, Gary Cooper, and Fred MacMurray.[84] During filming of To Please a Lady, Stanwyck refused to leave her African-American maid Harriet Coray in a hotel only for African-American people and insisted that Harriet stay in the same hotel as she did. After much pressure from Stanwyck, Coray was allowed to stay in the best hotel in Indianapolis with Stanwyck and the rest of the cast and crew.[85]
Stanwyck, at age 45, had a four-year romantic affair with 22-year-old actor Robert Wagner that had begun on the set of Titanic (1953)[86] before Stanwyck ended the relationship.[87] The affair is described in Wagner’s 2008 memoir Pieces of My Heart.[88] In the 1950s, Stanwyck also had a one-night stand with Farley Granger, which he wrote about in his autobiography Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway (2007).[89][90][91

The SD9043mac is one of the most powerful locomotives built.
Problem is… they crack their frames! These all awaiting repairs.

That little earthquake…

Posted by Maya @ 2:51 on April 6, 2024  

East coasters aren’t used to them, that’s all.  Here on Hawaii Island, a 4.5 quake is just another day shakin’.  “Did you feel that?”   “I’m not sure… maybe.”    We have daily 2.5 quakes along the south shore as the mountain settles.  Personally, I rode my office chair like a bronco for 40 seconds thru a 6.9 roller.  No damage.   Just another day on the volcano.
