As the presidential election nears, a review of federal spending data found modifications to contracts have increased the price of the border wall by billions, costing about five times more per mile than it did under previous administrations.

In an October update, the administration said it had identified $15 billion — most of it from military funds — to build a total of 738 miles, which comes out to roughly $20 million a mile.
That’s compared with the $2.4 billion the government spent from 2007-15 to build 653 miles of fence, as well as gates, roads, lighting and other infrastructure, according to the GAO.

When Riverfront Stadium was being built (the flying saucer where the Reds and Bengals used to play) I was working third shift nearby. After work a group of us would stop for “just the one” to fortify us for the long walk to the garage before the short drive to the campus restaurant for our B, E, and Bud. It was fascinating to watch some of the iron workers come in for their shot and a beer. Some could barely get the shot to their lips as they were shaking so bad. The shot would go down in one gulp and the beer would make the journey without a tremor to be seen.
Yeah, yeah, whaddya wan' enyway? Egg in yer beer?

The new name – The Lena Horne Theatre – will become official this fall at a renaming ceremony. The venue currently houses the hit Broadway musical Six.

You can walk from southern England to Scotland. You can also ride a horse. The ocean is dangerous, but lucky ducks, you can make the trip without ever leaving the soil of England and Scotland. In 1979 I took a train from Scotland to southern England, which is way more safe than an old sailing ship.Dave from down under wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 8:33 am Key points:
