  1. Yes, as soon as they lost communications with it on Sunday. ”Sensors operated by the Navy detected the likely implosion of the Titan submersible hours before the U.S. Coast Guard publicly shared that it had gone missing — a revelation that means a five-day search that sparked round-the-clock media coverage may have been futile from the start. The Navy detected "an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion" in acoustic data taken from the same area where the Titan went missing, a senior Navy official told NPR in a written statement. A second official confirmed that it had registered that acoustic data on Sunday.”
  2. And besides the inherent dangers of even attempting it there is no need to waste any resources to try and recover their “bodies”, because even though they haven’t specifically come and said it, there won’t be “bodies” to recover. By the time it reached the Titanic wreckage, the Titan submersible would have been facing a pressure of between 375 and 400 atmospheres. The water pressure at 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface at the site of the Titanic wreck is roughly 400 atmospheres or 6,000 pounds per square inch. The sudden change in pressure during an implosion would cause immediate trauma to the human body, essentially disintegrating it, in other words break it up into small parts. What’s left of them should be left in their internal grave with the other victims of the Titanic.
  3. All their baby daddy’s. 🤔
  4. This was posted 2 days ago on FB, don’t know if it has been resolved since then. There hasn’t been an update as of today though. 🤔
  5. Oh and Petee, I found your "missing" granite markers with the names on them. They are on the wall as cap stones at the bottom of the new steps on the east side leading down to the mid sidewalk. I think there were 4 or 5 of them and a blank one.
  6. I stopped by today on my way by and I think that the east side of the bank project that is done looks awesome! Love the falls, walls, new mid sidewalk and steps down from the top, the shrubs and flowers, and even the pavilion and sign. The trees they planted last year are all alive and leaved out, none are dead.

    Why?

    They have to get the $60,000 they kick back to the City every year from somewhere.
  8. Fortunately for us in Falls Creek the borough council didn’t fall for Wasted Management’s (pun intended) proposed increase that would seen the monthly rate increase from $13 per month to $29 by the 3rd year (an 8% to 9% increase per year) and put it out to bid and excepted Hugill Sanitation’s bid of $18.50 per month with an option of a 3% increase each year. They obviously weren’t offered an underhanded kick back like the $60 grand DuBois was getting, nor would have they considered it either! And Hugill can drive from Mahaffey for that price and we still get a monthly dumpster for the residents to use for other than garbage. Fortunately for me I am old enough for the senior rate of $15.75 per month. DuBois’ contract with Wasted Management definitely needs looked into to see if there was anything illegal in it considering the 60 grand kickback.
  9. Body cam footage released by the Metro Nashville Police Department of the 2 officers that eliminated this POS shooter before anymore damage could be done. (Be forewarned that it is pretty graphic) https://www.facebook.com/MetroNashvillePoliceDepartment/videos/203456248973270/
  10. And you think that because she was born with the wrong parts in her mind that it may justify her killing 3 innocent 9 year old kids and 3 adults?
  11. Such a sad situation that this kind of thing is still happening and at a Christian school and by a female. And who gives a 💩 what she identifies as, she was born with female parts she’s a female. I just can’t wrap my head around what would possess anyone from purposely gunning down innocent helpless children, definitely a sick individual. Thankfully the police got there in time to kill her while she was actively shooting before she took anymore lives. I don’t know what the answer is, all I can do is say a prayer for the families of these 3 children and 3 adults that were killed and those students, teachers, LEO’s, and EMS personnel that had to witness it.
  12. I haven’t personally seen it at night but I think it looks awesome.
  13. More in depth information was in the Courier Express on Tuesday? 😯 https://www.thecourierexpress.com/news/dubois-city-manager-accused-of-committing-over-620-000-in-fraudulent-transactions/article_8ea8f83c-c741-11ed-944b-5ba587c05460.html Bad enough that he is accused of stealing money from the taxpayers of the City of DuBois and the people that donated to the United Way but to steal from the donations made to the volunteer fire department that he was a long term member of shows that he has no scruples what so ever. 😡
  14. “Suplizio waived his preliminary hearing Monday, with unsecured bail set at $100,000. His formal arraignment is scheduled for April 12.“ So, has he been relieved of his duties until then?
  15. It was the same one and they finally did shoot it down after clearing land into the Atlantic Ocean. Of course this was after it crossed the whole United States from Montana to North Carolina. Should have been done as soon as it crossed the western border!
  16. When I came home from Monroeville Dec. 28th I wasn’t planning on filling up at 1/2 tank but when I got off 80 at exit 97 and seen Sheetz was at $3.699 and Pilot was $3.199 I stopped at the VERY BUSY Pilot and filled up for $3.099 with the saver card. An hour later Pilot was up to $3.599 ($3.499 with the card) and by the next morning $3.699. Glad I didn’t procrastinate.

    nasty out

    I just need a generator capable of running the 1/4 hp 120V blower on my furnace, the fridge, and maybe a couple lights. I don’t need electricity for water hot or cold or the cook stove. A 4KW should be more than enough for emergency power.

    nasty out

    I never left my house in Falls Creek with no back up heat Friday. I ran a steady trickle of water upstairs and down stairs and luckily no frozen lines being it got down to 34 degrees inside the house before the power FINALLY came back on about 10:30 Saturday morning after 26 1/2 hours. My furnace ran for 45 minutes before it finally got up to 70 degrees and cycled back on several time before it got everything else warmed back up, ie furniture, walls, and floors before settling down to more normal. It sucked!!! So I left town. I know one thing, that much procrastinated generator over the years will be purchased after going through this.
  19. The Hotel Emery is long gone along with most all historic buildings in Falls Creek. ...With the construction of a two-story brick store and residence built by Mr. J. L. Reed to spur grown, other homes quickly followed and the town was named Evergreen. A large, four-story hotel, the Lamontague, was erected at the corner of Main and First Streets and provided porches with easy seats from which to view the crowded streets each night. Until it burned down nearly a dozen years later, the Lamontague was the center of activity for the community. Two other hotels served the town during its boom days, the Emory on Main Street and the Casey House on Taylor Avenue. It was not until 1890 that streets were laid out and tree stumps finally cleared from the land. A few houses and stores stood along the street lines, but in rainy weather, rubber boats were required to reach them... http://duboishs.com/index.php/falls-creek-backgrund/
  20. I remember Buzz doing odd jobs for people when I was a young lad. He once hand dug a ditch for a neighbor probably 50 feet long and 3 feet deep for a water line from the house to the curb with a pick and spade. He was a very strong and dirty looking older man. I distinctly remember the brown pants he had on and for some reason the front pockets were cut out exposing his dirty looking legs. Now being fair he was no threat and I remember him being kind and a hard working man just making money doing manual labor to live on. My mother who use to feed the bums that hung around the old B & O shops by the big Sandy Bridge still didn't want me to hang around Buzz, but of course I still use to go over and watch him work.
  21. I have been doing a lot of sorting through stuff at my late in-laws house since their passing last month and ran across these interesting copies of pictures and a newspaper article. Downtown Falls Creek with a dirt Main Street and a LOT of buildings. The Falls Creek Tannery workers and dried hides. Bringing the old smokestack down at the Tannery. It took 45 sticks of dynamite to bring the 150 foot tall stack with walls of 4 feet 9 inch thick at the base down.
  22. I have no idea what the 2 plants are that my neighbor gave me to plant this year...grows his from seed...but for the 2nd time this week I've had BLT's with them tomatoes! MMMMMMMMM...SOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!! Big, red, juicey, and taste like a tomatoe should...doesn't get much better than that!:exc:
