That's who it was! I knew it was something I just caught in passing in some episode and I thought it was funny that Starfleet were so hung up on Anglophone naming conventions that they did that.

Seems fair. How could anyone find fault in this.

I came across people in Kentucky flying the Confederate flag and proclaiming Heritage, Not Hate. I hastened to point out that KY was not a confederate state.

Likewise, the Trump-humpin’ Chesapeake Bay watermen, who don’t have enough help to get that very perishable crabmeat to market.

Ah, my home state. Only two good things have come out of there; thoroughbred horses and Abe Lincoln. It is pretty. And it may have been a border state, but if the freaking union state of Ohio had white/colored drinking fountains, I assure you Kentucky was even worse. Kentucky was a union state in name only.

Well, Hunter Thompson is from there and Wendell Berry. Love my in-laws and a few long suffering liberal friends, but YES it is a pleasure to sever some of our ties there.

That happened. A friend and I went fishing. He drove and parked where all of the other anglers were parked. A ranger came by a little later and told all of us fishing along the bank we were illegally parked and had to move our vehicles. My friend did, and came back saying he'd been ticketed. When we were walking away from the fishing spot later, a ranger truck pulled up to the spot we were passing. Two uniformed employees jumped out, pulled a signpost out of the back of the truck and stuck it in a hole in the ground. It said "No parking beyond this point."

I went to court with my friend to serve as a witness and back him up when he said we parked in what was obviously the parking area because a line of cars was parked there. I wasn't allowed to testify, however. The ranger displayed a map showing a designated parking area. The judge declared my friend guilty.
