I love pictures of the people from the 30s to the 50s, The Men looked like Men and Women looked like ladies when they were both at work! I don't know why, but maybe the clothing that show's pride and care of the person's appearance, even at work! Today's young people are really strange, and screwed up, trying to mold the too sex's into one sex! What" with the young men and their Twat Knots and skinny jeans and being girlie like along with women looking masculine ! I guess this old man of only a couple months from 70 years old, doesn't much like what He sees in our youth now today, It worry's me!

I am right behind ya pal. What would have our parents and grandparents thought of today's behavior. Who could have dreamed up the world we live in today.

It all goes back to Upspeak, skibo. Directness in ones speech is considered too aggressive.

Actually, WE dreamed up today's world...the kids are working on the next. My wife and I are looking forward to all the kids waiting for us to teach them business, computers, and shop skills.

By timer, I believe you refer to the clock looking device high up the mast. That's a range to target signal, aka shot clock or concentration dial, aiding other ships in formation. By observing and comparison, elevation could be regulated somewhat better. Each ship made own corrections for direction, wind and surface speed.
