This picture should look familiar as I posted it a while ago. What I didn't know at the time was who painted it: Chesley Bonestell a famous astronomical painter from the 1950's. His art hangs in the National Air & Space Museum. Bonestell also helped design the Golden Gate Bridge and the Chrysler Building. He also did all the solar system matte paintings at the beginning of the 1953 movie THE WAR OF THE WORLDS

That is one example why the "engineers" should have the maintainers/mechanics sitting off to their shoulder when designing something ... TAZ

Was just reading an article on seafood shacks and this one popped up: Browns in NH. I remember eating there a couple of times; once when in college and another time when I lived in Framingham MA. The food was cheap and really good. I had never been to a place that was bring-your-own-booze before.

Ford introduced the first-generation Bronco in 1966. The line-up included three variants that shared the same boxy, utilitarian design. The Roadster came without doors; Ford presented it as the Mustang’s four-wheel drive stablemate, hence the Bronco name.
