In some ways you're absolutely right Will, it's just a shame that the Manson cult corrupted the ranch in the first place. The history of the Thomason/Barker ranch and nearby Myers Ranch is really interesting and the Manson involvement with those properties (like George Spahn's movie ranch) unfortunately tainted them forever.
On the other hand I guess only a handful of folks would have even recognized the name Ballarat, Goler Wash, or many of the other locations associated with the Manson cult if it had not been for them. It's sort of sad when you think about it. Locations that will will forever be remembered for the bad that happened there without even acknowledging let alone honoring the good history.

....except on CVN 76, 77 or 78 which have only three CDPs, but a fair criticism for the majority of the operational fleet. IIRC the optimal pass will place the hook on the deck right between the 2 and 3 wire on a 4 wire configuration.Mehhh.......they're lying......or rank amateurs.
Everyone knows that pros catch the third wire!

So, when did this "fake news" thing really start?
News is a product. And a product of fleetingly short shelf life. "In The Day" there were two news cycles: a.m. and p.m. Guess what happened.
As one paper used to say, "all the news that fits"......or was that MAD?
ok, techies...my desktop keyboard is refusing to repeat keystrokes, like when I have to type a double e or l. It sems to have to rest betwen. Anyone have any idea what the frog is going on here?
I assume that this is a PC, Apple products work differently when you hold a key.
On a PC, try this: from the start menu click on the icon for settings -> ease of access-> keyboard -> set use filter keys to off.
Got to be careful when mining borax so as to not confuse it with its closely knit neighbor, moron. If they become entangled while mining it, once processed, the result is moronic acid.
I never knew that there was a connection until now. Learn something new every day (well, not really, sometimes). I learned about Ballarat from my interest in visiting ghost towns.
looks like that did it! Thankee sir! Damn, the range of knowledge in here is just astounding.

Everything was over exaggerated in the wild west. When it came to fake news, newspapers were full of it. After all it sold papers. That tradition continues to this very day.
For a wonderful example of that, check out the relationship between William Cody and Ned Buntline.

After watching James Brown perform, I just assumed that he had "ants in his pants"....
I saw James live at the Park West in Chicago just before he got sent to prison. Show started at midnight with the backing band. The soul sisters came on at 12:20 and sang a couple of tunes. Then the Rev. introduced James...and 'round about 3am, they had to drag him off the stage. He was wearing a green jumpsuit that night. Big tip to the waiter. Front row booth to ourselves. Two bottles of Pierre-Jouët's best, some excellent blow and a 'lude. And I actually remember the show! It was super!
I'm sure William Randolph Hearst never had anything to do with any fake news. 
I wonder how his news empire would have dealt with the story of granddaughter Patty's abduction by the Symbionese Liberation Army had he been alive and she not his granddaughter.

Ned Buntline seemed to be quite a character, much in the same vein of PT Barnum and Col. Tom Parker. Fiction worked. In reality, I read that the wild west was 90% male. These sort of activities were not on the front page.
See, this might be explanatory. Like, for instance, if they excavated a few thousand metric buttloads of the stuff from the site of 725 5th Avenue in New York City. Would provide one of those "Ohhhhhh, so that's the reason" revelations. Maybe if they could shine ultraviolet light into the body, or inject disinfectants, the effects of moronic acid could be mitigated.

They're saying Moronic Acid is taken as a sacrament at the Moronic Temple.
What was George Harrison's grandfather doing in the Old West?
Nobody dares to crack a smile in early photographs from the 1800's. Maybe tradition from paintings, maybe bad teeth, maybe due to the long exposure time.
There's all those reports of people in old photographs that are from the future and have gone back in time. Maybe it is George.
