U.S. ship sprays Chinese with fire hose :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: World The USNS Impeccable sprayed one ship with water from fire hoses to force it away. Despite the force of the water, Chinese crew members stripped to their underwear and continued closing within 25 feet, the Defense Department said.

March 7, 2009 (#87)- The Girls vs. Boys Show Originally aired March 22, 2008 Pink Meghan Vigeant – Independent producer, USA There’s no color more polarizing than pink. Some girls love it, some girls hate it. Some boys outwardly despise it, while secretly wishing they could wear it. There’s nothing lukewarm about pink. – Ibid I’m of the opinion that pink stinks.

We returned home from Kona to Chicago yesterday, taking an overnight flight so that we arrived yesterday morning at about 530AM. The last time I took a red-eye, I went straight to bed and was wide awake all night, so David advised me to stay up all day and not even nap until 9PM.
