How come Chris gets on the big money?

How come Chris gets on the big money?

Stuart - you'd know about big money. You were as rich as Croesus at the end of the last game

Just interested, Is anyone celebrating Passover, Ramadan/ Iftar, or Easter today? If so, what are you eating (I am getting bored with my own cooking.)

Left over roast chicken from yesterday. Gravy, asparagus, mashed potatoes. Probably wine, but the staff may bring out a craft beer instead.

A country that was on my bucket list, but the bucket sprung a covid leak.

Tugboats fail to dislodge huge ship stuck in Chesapeake Bay

The Ever Forward ran aground after leaving Baltimore for Norfolk on March 13. It apparently missed a turn in the deep channel leading down the bay.
...
World attention was focused a year ago on a ship in the same commercial fleet, the Evergreen line, that became stuck in the Suez Canal.

I wonder if it's time to rename that company 'Evergreen behind the ears' to commemorate their incompetence?

Very funny! Evergreen is one of the biggest shippers on the US western coast. Here at Long Beach (Where the Naval Ship Yard some of our OW ships docked) they have built a huge commercial port. Side by side with Los Angeles, they take turns as the biggest ports in the US. These are the ones where ships have been sitting around, 60 - 80 at a time waiting to off load. There are still a couple cruise ships just hanging out. The Harbor masterpilot takes over at the break water. REALLY good job if you can get it. Seems the only way to get the experience is for your dad to be a harbor pilot. For Air quality reasons, they started waiting further out in the ocean. For some ships, the crews were not allowed to disembark even when their (many months) contracts were up. Some places they were even running low on supplies. From the stories heard- it sounded like 18-19th century ships.

Neat!

Fans of our spreadsheets might find this post, about the numbers behind the spreadsheets, interesting.

Not to good on this one. It's easy when you find it.

WOW! I would think most volunteer science groups do not have this level of computer horsepower behind them!

It's because they don't have Stuart, who had the idea in the first place. He and Gordon are also the ones who made a lot of suggestions for improvements.

I only come up with the smart ideas, it takes a lot smarter than me to make them work. (But thanks for the thoughts Michael)

I'll read more of this tomorrow
52 years - have we come any distance at all?

Probably enough marching to circles the globe many many times.
