Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

(One of the restaurants Annie and I go to at least once a week: Tree House Tavern in Warwick, RI. The owners just implemented new decorations).

The world around us: "You can soar like an eagle if you try hard enough!"

The Eagles are nesting at home around here today.  (sorry for the crappy potato cam picture.  Cell phones suck at 100yards)

In 1957, A B-36 crew accidentally dropped a 15-Megaton Hydrogen Bomb while on approach to an airport in Albuquerque, NM. The bomb's conventional explosives detonated, blowing a large crater in a farmer's field and killing a cow. The bomb was not armed though, so there obviously was not a thermonuclear detonation, which would have resulted in a larger crater and many more dead cows. The US Government compensated the farmer for the damage to his field and the loss of his cow.

Two landed in a field in NC. There is debate about how close they came to detonating.

Isn't that one of the cars with a pressure gauge on the chassis (to tell them when they cracked)?

That's certainly one way to get rid of all the bumpsteer with the twin I beam suspension!

...the more I look the more I see.  Kingpins! And I can't tell if those separate knuckles are just there for alignment or if they are attached to links to alter the roll center/camber curve.  Cool stuff.

I was trying to post something very much like you did, but was finding it terribly hard not to include any snark about the glory that is the Twin I Beam suspension.

That happened about 20 miles from where I live now.  I've been to the site. Not much to see. There's a good book about it "Goldsboro Broken Arrow" if you're interested. One of the bombs still hasn't been recovered.
