That was a great article about the possibility of a supersonic submarine - or more precise - a torpedo that carries passengers. From what I read, though, there are a lot of minor "kinks" that would need to be addressed. The notion of the bubble was fascinating. That sounds like an actual air bubble traveling under water. Don't forget that it still needs to displace that volume of water. Seems like it would require a LOT of energy to do so, even though the speeds may be theoretically possible.

When I hear Yankee I think of folks from the northeast. Massachusetts, New York etc. Being originally from Idaho I always considered myself a westerner. I probably identified more with southerners than folks back east. I remember one time in Tennessee someone mentioned I was from up north. I told him "I'm not from up north, I'm from out west. We don't like Yankees either."

Just wanted to let everyone know that my wife was issued the CR1 this May, and was issued a IR1 when she arrived at the airport this July. Thanks for everyone's support. She'll be receiving her green card in the mail.

wow, I was not the only one who compliments on unsavory food to save other's face but was showered with more of the same food. I call it "disastrous blessing."

Catherine, no we didn't go to restaurants at all! First night camping, we had hot dog and ramen noodle(方便面). We have a tiny gas stove, boiled some water to make the noodle. Gosh, it was good to drink something hot and salty! 2nd night, we rent a lake front cabin, we switched the ramen noddle to paste+tomato sauce. Oh it's good to cook on a modern stove! 3nd night, we were supposed to leave. But all the food we brought from grocery store couldn't fit into out stomach! How I wished we had that much to eat on the 1st night!!!
