Light question
 
At night you see normal navigation lights with the addition of a constant
yellow light on top.

What type of vessel is it?

What is it doing?

It's a hovercraft operating in non displacement mode.

Bzzzt. Wrong!

"Rule 23 (b) An air-cushion vessel when operating in the nondisplacement
mode shall, in addition to the lights prescribed in paragraph (a) of this

Rule, exhibit an all-round flashing yellow light."

NOT a "constant" yellow light. There is no such animal.

Maybe my book is wrong? It shows constant yellow lights as
signals for either pushing a barge (two yellow) or towing on
a long cable (yellow over white).

Don't know about barges without looking again... no such animal for
air-cushion, and I couldn't find the word "constant" in the manual.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.


It is only natural that women sense and seek my manly essence.
I first became aware of it, Oz, during the physical act of love...Yes, a
profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was
able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure
you it has not recurred, Oz. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek
the life essence. I do not avoid women, Oz...but I do deny them my essence.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are
studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk,
ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when
fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your
post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A
foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the
knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the
way your hard-core Commie works.

Yeah, when AlCoA had to find a way to get rid a rather nasty waste
product. Absolutely brilliant plan; convince millions that they need

When my neice was a senior chemical engineering student, she managed to
ingest the tiniest amount of Sodium Flouride. She remembers tearing her lab
coat off in what seemed like slow motion, and screaming "I"m on Fire!"
Fortunately, she survived and learned a valuable lesson about carelessness
in the lab. To her chagrin, however, a new lab policy was written in her
honor.
