Bad intentions.

China is muscling into power across America’s underbelly (msn.com)
And now this. Chinese troops 100 miles away from our border?

Report: Cumberland area is Atlanta's latest boomtown | Urbanize Atlanta
Report: Cumberland area is Atlanta's latest boomtown | Urbanize Atlanta

As is known, the Braves moved from downtown to Cobb County (to probably the worst traffic area in the metro area).  Apparently it's working in a sense of greater economic development in that area now.  I was dubious, and getting to that ballpark today is just a mess, no rapid transit at all, there is a bus that goes out there I've yet to try.

There currently are no plans at all for any rapid transit expansion anywhere in this region.

I'm not worried about some training base in Cuba, and there is not a thing we could do about it anyway.

The solution to Cuba, in my opinion, is Hilton/Marriot/Sheraton, et al.

Jaws is 48 years old (Released OTD in 1975).  Same year I was born.  I can still feel that tingling sensation when swimming in the ocean, or the deep end of the local pool.

There is no US base in Taiwan, but I do agree that the US has major presences all over the world.

Me too on all of this. Born in 1975, still scared of that damn shark.

I really don't remember the 70's pe se, but I can still remember the effect that they had on us well into the 80's.  Growing up in the 80's was really a special time IMO because we were kinda between the old world and entering into the new one.  I'm much closer to my kids than my parents were with me because their world was just so different than mine growing up but mine wasn't so different from my kids.  We had video games, computers, big time movies, some of the most prevalent pop culture they have was the same pop culture we had in the 80's (my kids asked me how I knew about Transformers etc).

as long as there are no offensive weapons involved and there is no evidence of governmental control then we do nothing
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.
