I totally envision Trump renaming the San Andreas Fault to Joe Biden’s Fault, and I am just putting this out there so I can say I predicted it one day.
@live_free_603 Earlier this summer I saw a NH vanity plate [1st + Lst] on 93N. Naturally thought to myself that must be LL, but saw a pleasant woman driving as I passed and figured it must have been Mrs. LL. I’m choosing to believe no one beat you to that plate.
Please stop telling everyone to come to NH, we are full. Tourists come here only when it fun, suck the life out of the place and make it impossible to live here. I’m seeing more out of state plates than NH plates just trying to get home from the grocery store. If you’re not here at our worst you shouldn’t get our best.
@mofonature Same thing happens at the ski mountains over the winter. Causing chaos on lifts, sitting at the exit of the lifts and even parked in the middle of trails. Even watched a clueless woman with MA plates park IN the cross walk from the lot to the resort.
@DennisIrwin77 The no-see-ums in Florida are the worst for me. They’re too small to zap! The ticks up here are the only thing worse than the flies though.
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
There are two types of people who love socialism.
1. Economic illiterates fueled by envy.
2. People who understand how easy it is to manipulate and control economic illiterates fueled by envy.
Without reading the published materials, cannot help but consider whether this will be subject to P&I litigation? @TomFitton Did Mamdani err in stating his intended purpose was specifically to milk out of staters?
A brief analysis from Grok: Privileges and Immunities challenge for a measure “targeted specifically to nonresidents.” Facially protectionist property taxes (explicitly discriminating against outsiders) are viewed as more vulnerable than neutral second-home or vacancy taxes. A pure non-resident surcharge (explicitly higher rates solely because the owner lives out of state) would face a stronger Privileges and Immunities (and potentially dormant Commerce Clause or Equal Protection) challenge.
@LFODCandles It’s nice to have an option when you can’t make your own brisket atm. If you come down to the lake from the mountains to try it, I’ll hook you up with some sourdough!
@LFODCandles Guilty of still playing, picked up a handheld version roughly 10yrs ago. Interesting timing as well, with all the Cyclosporiasis discussion happening 😅
