Ms. C, have you considered proposing topics to Tom Scott: prepping script material, doing location work and general production? Might be the start of a beautiful friendship.

No matter, if a labeled, service anything comes up and directs your attention to anywhat, call 911 and keep away. Your ability to help is trumped by your lack of knowledge.

Just because I care about such things, this is like getting a meal for $1.00 these days.

So, this video is more about the film crew stalking Sam than Sam stalking the lynx. They got more video of the lynx than Sam did.

I have a bit of sympathy for the people who asked stupid questions. Jean-Pierre Rampal, the acclaimed flautist, owned a gold flute and was frequently asked if it was for show or quality. He claimed it improved the tone. At a steel drum show, one of the musicians had a gold-plated drumhead. In order to check Rampal's opinion, I asked him if that changed the sound. Everyone, including the player, thought that was so stupid they laughed long and hard.

I got the answer, found out Rampal was deluding himself, and looked the fool.

Looks like he was trapped and is about to be transported to safety. Hope someone remembered to give him some water.

In Orange County, California, our tax dollars pay for a set of roving tow trucks. They will gladly take *any* disabled vehicle, FOR FREE, to a parking lot at the nearest exit ramp. For a tip, they might take you home. No need to be this guy.

Three camera shoots with saturation lighting are so common, it did not occur to me that someone had to invent it. Thanks.

And while we are at it, I wonder which genius decided to cajole Freund into working on The Lucy Show, I am betting it was Desi.

... or one could visit the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles. https://www.petersen.org/cars-of-film-and-television

My father invented nerve gas during the 50s. He and his co-workers continued together on other projects. They talked about it freely during the 60's. Not much to say after it was all over.

I had a chemistry professor who was in charge of judging the purity of Uranium isotopes after the centrifuges of Oak Ridge. He described in detail how it was done.

A brilliant chemist one told me at a ACS meeting how he invented a jet fuel that allowed planes to fly at 70,000+. I now know the source of "Chem Trails."

My experience is that such information is freely available. Not many people will understand and appreciate. These are just few cases where I could. How many more did I miss?

My back yard.

My MIL was in the WACs: flying planes from factories to the war zone. Of course, after the war, she was qualified to become a stewardess.

I have long wondered the origin of the women-with-walking-stick.

... and look for tee shirts with them in the Neatoshop next week.
