Nice shots and interesting descriptions. Note the analysis of the fortified village.

Thanks for sharing I found the pictures and analysis quite fascinating.

Great photos, very good.
To get three dimensional images, most photo recon planes had two cameras taking simultaneous images.
Then viewed through a stereoscopic viewer, an interpreter would have 3D.  This allowed greater details, by emphasizing the contrast.  Wonder if these photos were originally a pair, for the viewers.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

the Bayeux photo is like looking at a model.  very cool!
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
