Wondering about visual acuity.
I just saw 4-6 skydivers over Arlington. More than one had an American flag hanging from them, like soldiers parachuting into an NFL game. I looked at Google Earth when I got home, to see where in the hell they might be able to have landed, and drew a line from my observation spot by my house into the direction where I saw them. The only safe landing spot along that path was the Iwo Jima memorial, which is 3.19 miles away. I clearly saw the dark specks of a human being under the canopy of each parachute. So the question is, can you see a person 3 miles away? Don't tell me about a candle at 1.5 miles, that's totally different. |

I'm thinking about a tower of beer.
Sooner, rather than later.

I'm... trying to understand...
Your homemade beer has spoiled, which is a shame because you wanted to drink some in your new beer glass--that has a chalkboard surface?? |
