    You never knew what to expect when Freddy Mercury was on stage. That was wild.

    Is that why your breath has smelled fishy lately? All because of the Otter News.

    Cabotage in aviation is the right of a country to regulate and protect its domestic industry from foreign competition, even if the foreign country has been granted the right to operate within its borders. The foreign country must operate its flights in accordance with the rules and regulations of the home country.

    I'm going for instant water. It's a powder that you just have to add water to and stir.

    Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the prank. I'm also pleased that you're looking forward to reading more about the boys and their eventualy quest for treasure.

    They sound more like rats, than moles or voles, so maybe some of those 'other' small creatures were rats.

    Did the government hire those animals as spies or did they volunteer?

    To descend, a bathyscaphe floods air tanks with sea water. The tanks of water on a submarine cannot be displaced with compressed air to make the submarine rise, though. That's because water pressure at the depths at which the submarine operates are too great.

    The executive order of 1933 was repealed by President Gerald R. Ford signed a law on December 31, 1974 reversing that order. Today, there is no limit on the amount of gold, be it jewelry, coins, gold bars, or gold certificates an individual can own now. However, the 1979 Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) does state that any relics more than 100 years old and on public or Federal land does belong to the government. Unless spotted when removing it, who's to say it was found on public or Federal land. Just purchase a piece of land close by, that isn't public or Federal land, do some digging, and claim it was found there instead.

    I'll bet you didn't know there was such a thing as a Bailiwich Retriever. It's a purebred Labrador Retriever that's bred with top quality Labrador Hunt Test and Field Trial bloodlines.

    I believe they've already started practicing that.

    They haven't practiced it, but it's not out of the question, since horses are mammals.

    It's sort of like how the readers pounce on a new chapter when it's posted. They find it difficult to disguise their accismus for very long.

    They might not have found treasure, but they still had an adventure, and there's always next summer to look forward to.

    You're no more naive than most of the rest of us, and that's where Google comes in handy. You also bring up a good point about horses. They would be a lot quieter than ATVs and draw a lot less attention, so that might be a possibility as well. See, you're not so naive after all and are a stone's throw ahead of the others, because you've already solved one of the problems I stated in one of my earlier replies. If, as one suggested, the could drive out there with the SUV and the ATVs on a trailer cover by a tarp, why need the ATVs at all, and now, why need the SUV?

    ATVs will attract enough attention, but ATVs with trailers is just inviting curiosity seekers. And if they're going to drive the SUV all the way there, then why do they need the ATVs? And you make a good point about how much black powder was used, but I don't believe the weight would have been an issue, since they probably had horses and pack animals. After all, the conquistadors were the ones that introduced the horse to the New World.

    Are you gentlemen overthinking the problem? First, they have to determine if there is anything beyond the barrier, and then, if there is, they can attack how to get it out.

    Moi enjoying you all squirm as you attempt to figure out what I might do next? And remember, no matter what they do in the future, they have to consider the possibility of causing a total collapse.
