What's wrong with runway number 5, other than it quite properly should
be called zero-five, being a runway running northeast on a magnetic
heading of 50 degrees.
What pissed me off more was Elton John going on about an airplanes
"red tail lights" when the tail lights on all aircraft are white.

I met Elton briefly. He travels with a retinue of like 30--a heavy
load. I can't imagine pulling that train. But, Bernie writes the
lyrics--short, cropped hair, solid muscle, steel-grip. Bernie seemed
happy; Elton seemed tired.
James
Hey, I met the lady who does his taxes!
Yeah? And I bet she gave you a pressure cooker or something, right?
Right. I haven't got it to work very well on the mashed potatoes; they
come out sort of like glue. At 6400 feet, I just boil them for an
hour.
But Mo makes a delicious chicken stew in the pressure cooker. It cooks
for, literally, 90 seconds.

I still prefer B&W, anyway. The world's best pictures (Ansel Adams, Robert

Ditto movies.
You and me both. What really pisses me off is the studios remaking classic
movies, such as The Italian Job, and True Grit.
it's not just movies, though - the Ford Mustang, the Chevy Camaro,
the Dodge whatsis, the Fender Deluxe Reverb and Super Reverb
Reissues.... vinyl is making a comeback...
Zappa called it "death by nostalgia". And there's this:

I take it you've never listened to the tune.
Who knows (or cares) what runway their plane is going to use? It's not a
train.

They're overcooking. For something like that you probably have to
stop it cold by quenching it in cold water. O/W it'll overcook before
you can open it.
I assume you're cooking the whole spuds first in the cooker? That
should work. Maybe that, then conventional cooking after mashing to
finish them off?
Pressure cookers are wonderful, in a league with 2n7002s.

Yeah. The potatoes in Mo's stew are done in 90 seconds, so I should
adjust the mashed potato time way down.

I don't think Paul did either. Kodachrome was for slides. He never
struck me as a ... Carousel sort of guy.
No Ektachrome was for slides. YCLI.
So was Kodachrome, just an earlier process that did not lend itself to
processing by the end user, unlike Ektachrome,
Kodachrome required that the Dye's be in the developing chemicals. A
picky temperature dependant process to exchange the film layers with the
Dye's.
Ektachrome has the Dye's in the film layers, which are removed during
developing process. E6 is easy to do at home with very good results.
Cheers
Even E4 could be done at home on earlier Ektachrome. Later processes not
so much.

It started with those little horns they stick in their ears so they can
hear you. This was before electronics.
Eh? What's that you say, sonny?

I have seen the latter several times over, but never the former.
The latter, I own. The other is to decide whether it would go into the
library or not.
I used to buy DVDs sight unseen, but that was back when they released
at around $15. If I didn't like it, I would give it away to someone.
Now, I do "research", and perform a viewing before I spend cash on a
bluray disc.
Now that everyone is using streaming, my players and my disc libraries
are virtually worthless.
I always pick the wrong things to collect. CD, Laser Disc, DVD, HD DVD,
BR DVD. It will all be worthless, even though they are all mint.

OIC.
Never heard it called that before.
I have the whole trilogy on DVD.
I agree with Jim Yanik.

I had to remount some slides in the Army, when the frames got damaged
in shipment. Some people thought that you could just put them in an
enveloope and mail them. The new mounts were aluminum, with plastic
inserts.

If a person is leaving Hollywood for London, wouldn't he be using LAX?
According to Wikipedia, LAX only has 06R/06L and 07R/07L, but no 05.
accoring to google maps the runways are marked 6L 67 7L and 7R at the
eastern end an 24L 24R 25L and 25R at the western end, (6L===24R)
they are all parallel with an approximate bearing of 83 (or263) degrees
