The scent of the random used bookstores my parents dragged me into as a kid is a core memory. Also contributed a lot of garbage/mid tier 70s and 80s sci fi to our shelves but I'm still a voracious reader so mission accomplished, p

It seems much more reasonable to only disengage the tugboats that were already helping the container ship get under way once it clears navigation hazards like the bridge, instead of keeping 24/7 quick-response tugboats at the bridge th

On an individual basis, I would think so. I don't know of any requirement to be hooked up to the grid. Could maybe even stretch it to condo buildings if everyone is on the same wavelength. Whole neighborhoods is probably too much of a

Oh very nice, I loved this blog's earlier series on steam power and was wondering if they would ever continue it!

There's a reason a good number of wind farms were build along the Columbia River Gorge, beyond it being a very windy place. Floating the turbine components upriver via barge shortened the last stretch of delivery that would have to be

Hmm I don't know if coming in from the bottom will get me the access I need, I'm afraid. I've got some bowing across the middle of the backrest. But, maybe I'll give it a go anyway! Thanks.
