Family lore has it that there was a cousin Walter who was a teenager at the time of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and that he and some other teens were arrested for looting. That's on the paternal side. My maternal grandmother's father killed a man and spent 14 years in prison. This was in Kansas in the 19th century. He and my great grandmother divorced but remarried after he was released. There was a creek that a man kept damming. And my great grandfather kept tearing down the dam. This went on several times. My great grandfather finally told him that if he dammed the creek one more time that he'd kill him. The man did so my great grandfather killed him.

Very interesting. Thank-you for sharing.

After watching it several times the one problem I have with it is the boy wearing high heals. A gay male is not a chick with a dick!

I remember this was done in the movie "Young Frankenstein".

I have been there. Wonderful. I have several books on it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake A bit late with this. I had a friend whose mother was in the earthquake. She was just a girl. She had just come downstairs and sat down on a bench in the hall. Her mother called her to the kitchen. A few seconds after she got up and left the earthquake struck and ceiling above the bench where she had been sitting collapsed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_Estate I have been there. I have a pen & ink drawing of the facade hanging above my fireplace. I have been here too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getty_Villa I have a large framed poster of the inner peristyle hanging on the wall.

I had not heard of "feoclasical" before. https://architizer.com/projects/the-feoclassical-architecture-of-panama/

Not a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright Imo the Guggenheim is ugly! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum Not a fan of I.M. Pei either. The Louvre Pyramid is just so out of place! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louvre_Pyramid

The show will be on Netflix

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/18/take-a-peek-inside-the-most-expensive-home-for-sale-in-the-us.html I think it is ugly! I don't like modern architecture. Classical is eternal; look at Washington DC. Then look at Brasilia; it's already dated!

This helps to explain the ending. Regarding the lack of gay characters it would have been so easy to make Don West gay; just in passing he could have mentioned a husband or boyfriend. The letter the (East) Indian teen wrote, I was hoping that it was a coming out letter to his parents. His father was intimidating so a letter might be the best option.

I'm not familiar with him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gidding

I've not seen it. I am hoping that Netflix will carry it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin

No I haven't. Only on YouTube.

When I worked at a mortuary one time we had a motorcycle death. I took my nieces and nephew to see the body on "the slab". My sister was grateful.

I binged it. I enjoyed it. What may have turned some off, me included in the beginning, was making Dr Smith a woman. I hate when remakes change the gender or race of a well-known character. But it was done well in this show. I too hope that there will be another season. This like the original focused on Jupiter 2. I don't remember the original explained what happened to Jupiter 1. This series clarified all that. In the original there was a chimpanzee-like animal named Debbie. In this remake Debbie was a chicken. ;-))) The show was set in the 24th century. There were blacks and Japanese and (East) Indians. I wonder happened to the Russians and Chinese? Major disappointment was that there were no gays.

Thanks all! I didn't realize that there was a way to attach / lock it to the bike.

Thank-you for the clarification.
