Hair Salons cannot open soon enough. Won't be long before I look like this.

Usually I have it cut with a 3 on the side and an a 5 on the top. No need for a comb. Actually had to go and buy a comb.

So who's watching South Korean baseball because you miss sports THAT much?

The best tank of WW Two is .......
Heh!  That was pretty good.  I didn't expect the answer--I figured that it would be the Pzkw Mk V (Panther) or the T-34--but I don't disagree with it either.
Like he says about the Japanese tank, how "good it is" has to be considered in light of what it was needed to do.  And the Sherman, in all its variants, was "pretty good" or better in nearly everything it was called upon to be.  From mass-producible to reliable to easily repairable to affordable to light enough to readily deployable strategically, operationally, and tactically to useful in a variety of battlefield roles.  Not the best in tank vs. tank combat, which is how these comparisons usually go, but very serviceable in a wide range of roles.

Was this the thread for Thunderbirds/Blue Angels videos?  Here's one of the flights over DC and ATL.

I watch almost zero TV right now, but I have watched a little baseball on-line. 
 Been reading a lot after I settle in catching up on work.  Next to impossible to work a customary day with two elementary school kids doing their thing.  Throw in my wife's surgery center being back open, sort of, and there's little time to watch a thing.

I am on some WW 2 armor FB page and this of course crops up every week or so, I like how this guy approached the problem (and his final answer).  The shear mass of armor the Soviets produced is mind boggling, including things like the SU-152 and ISU-152 with its enormous gun.  Some folks don't realize what the US and Brits would have faced had WW 3 broken out in 1945 or 1947.

We would have had to use atomic bombs.

And that would have been problematic because the Soviets had thoroughly penetrated our atomic bomb program.

Using the A bomb tactically would have been problematic also.  We might have had a lot of deaths as combat troops moved through impacted areas not understanding the perils of radiation.  While the Russians did develop a nuclear device in 1949, they still lacked a delivery system comparable to the B29.
