Today, Dec 5th, is Repeal Day!
Today would be a really good day to show your appreciation for Tacoma’s fine drinking establishments and amazing bartenders. Why? Because today is the anniversary of the day the United States repealed the 18th amendment. Why else? According to Jeffrey Morgenthaler:
2. It’s at the right time. Conveniently located about halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas, at a time when we’re probably not with our families, the Fifth of December represents a great time to get together with friends and celebrate our constitutional rights.
3. Repeal Day doesn’t exclude. Are you an American, or are you located in the United States? Congratulations, you’re invited to join our party! Sorry, gay leprechauns, but Saint Patrick’s Day is off limits. Being French on Cinco de Mayo is about as cool as being British on the Fourth of July. But December Fifth is a day that’s open to anyone!
Celebrate your rights!

I was on a Tacoma Regional Convention & Vistors Center Bureau tour this afternoon. When we got to Schuster Parkway, the tour guide pointed it out. I wish I had been home to see it pass Browns Point.

How do you get a crane welded to a ship off of said ship anyway?

So, just where within the United States were these cranes manufactured; it just follows, that these cranes would-of and did-help support our hurting manufacturing industries recovery—-its employees, communities, private business, local business, and contribute taxes paid to our government(s) for ‘Taxpayers’ our benefits we receive?
So again, where where these cranes manufactured that we see in this picture?

“Built by Shanghai-based ZPMC“
Like 99% of the mostly useless stuff in this country, they’re made in China.
Now just watch out for the 3” thick layer of lead paint on them…
