What was destroyed can never be accessed. So far some of it cannot even be replicated. They are mysteries. How did they come to be so long ago without all the tools and machinery we have today? Any theories?

The know-it-nots empty headed wackadoodlenoodles are always so CERTAIN they KNOW. Now why is that so?Is that part of being stupid dumb? CERTITUDE?

That is exactly WHERE IT'S AT.The bats in the belfry guy demands all schools open and all children go back to school. He insists commands orders demands. No wiggle room. So his obedient adoring worshipper parents will absolutely not disappoint him or dare to disobey him. Their MASTER'S VOICE SPEAKS. Off their little "darlings" go to please a crackpot wackadoodlenoodle. These adoring worshippers are honored that they can do or give or obey every day in any way. What happens happens. They won't let science get in the way of anything. Or GAWD FORBID PARENTAL LOVE! Obedient they are like faithful dogs who adore their master. Even when he beats them and starves them and kicks them. Go figger! less

Of course there will be long delays waiting to be reviewed. "News" will slow down to a snail pace. What will you do with all that empty time and empty space? Read "The Art of Deal" and memorize it? Write op ed pieces about the glorious times in which we live all due to the glorious 'leader"? Those will be published and you will even get a byline and quite possibly a Medal of Freedom and a job. What could it hurt? less

I just tuned in, but according to the commentator, it’s been going on for at least 30 minutes. The police have just broken off the chase in the interest of public safety, and helicopters are instead taking up tracking the suspect vehicle. Also according to the commentator, the fact that it’s a property crime and no injury or death has as yet been ascertained, if apprehended, the suspect will most likely be checked for outstanding wants or warrants. If none are found, he or she will be cited, given a notice to appear in court, and then will be released from custody, all of this taking place within a few hours of been being arrested.
This is also true if the person is on parole or probation for previous offenses and/or convictions, because without an actual want or war... less

Over the course of my life, I found out the hard way what it’s like to sit next to a speeder, a tail-gater, a rude driver, an inconsiderate driver, unsafe drivers, and once, a driver who happily boasted that he was driving even though his license was suspended. Each of those incidents were one time only that I made sure did not repeat.

I can’t remember how long the ban lasted, maybe a couple of months, maybe six. When it was lifted, sure enough, another dog-bite incident, and the ban was back on, only permanently this time. For about the past four years, the neighbor has had to pick up mail at the post office.
I didn’t even know such a ban exits. less

When I listen online, however, it’s go to the home button, select log on option, Touch ID here, open this, click here, minimize that, scroll, scroll, scroll, swipe right three times, select station, confirm that I want to leave the current station, close this, select again, decline the opinion poll, scroll again, tap twice, decline the pop-up ad, enter zip code, pretend to read the entire privacy agreement, accept privacy agreement, click this again . . . Grrrrrrrr. Okay, so I’m exaggerating.
