Jimmy Makes A Test Dive
President and Mrs. Carter were afforded the opportunity of a dive and tour of Mr. Carter’s namesake, SSN-23, a Seawolf class nuclear submarine.
In addition to its formidable capabilities as an offensive weapon, the Jimmy Carter has research and reconnaissance capabilities only dreamed of when Mr. Carter was a young Naval Academy graduate working for Admiral Hyman Rickover.
There’s no further word on the George W. Bush dental chair, although there was a rumor that it will have document shredding capabilities.

The Australians ran this article, US displays high-tech Iraq battle tools, and after a quick look at the prices the Pentagon was paying for a radio controlled ATV with a wireless camera [$8K], and a model airplane system with a wireless camera [$38K/three plane set] I was a bit shocked.
My Dad like RC modeling, and I have bought a few for the children in the family, so I wondered why these things were so expensive. I checked on the cost of wireless cameras and RC models and still don’t know.
They are talking about a three to four week training course, when Christmas afternoon seemed to be sufficient in my experience.
I will have to do more research on the wireless camera in the model airship. Gulf Breeze is a hotspot for UFO sightings and with the right paint job and LED lighting, that airship could get me in a lot of trouble.
