Questions to ponder...

[Duff 206]

BTW, Kaukonen and Casady would certainly be referred to as "fish boys". You could even throw in Piazza, Falzarano and Aronoff just for good measure.

Bravo, my good man! Apparently several of us have good taste in classic rock music!

[MikesRJ 552]

Duff is certainly correct! On both counts.

The history lesson (I am a "history guy") is that the thirteen stripes of the US flag represent the original 13 colonies which entered into the union by ratification of the Constitution. If you consider their entry into the union as representative of the 13 stripes on the flag, then it fits that each stripe on the flag represents its coincident state.

In order of admittance:

Delaware (Red Stripe)

Delaware, one of the thirteen colonies, gained its distinction as the "First State" when it was the first to ratify the Constitution on December 7, 1787.

Pennsylvania (White Stripe)

In September 1787, the US Constitution was signed in Philadelphia and on December 12, 1787, Pennsylvania, one of the thirteen colonies, became the second state.

New Jersey (Red Stripe)

New Jersey, one of the thirteen colonies, became the third state on December 18, 1787.

Georgia (White Stripe)

Georgia, one of the thirteen colonies, ratified the US Constitution on January 2, 1788, becoming the fourth state to do so; it joined the Confederacy on January 19, 1861, and re-entered the Union after the Civil War.

Connecticut (Red Stripe)

Connecticut, one of the thirteen colonies, became the fifth state on January 9, 1788.

Massachusetts (White Stripe)

Originally part of the thirteen colonies, Massachusetts became a state on February 6, 1788

Maryland (Red Stripe)

Maryland became the seventh state on April 28, 1788. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln placed Maryland under military control.

South Carolina (White Stripe)

South Carolina, one of the thirteen colonies, became the eighth state on May 23, 1788. On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede form the Union. It re- entered after the Civil War.

New Hampshire (Red Stripe)

In a sense, New Hampshire, originally one of the thirteen colonies, "created" the new nation by becoming the ninth state on June 21, 1788, meeting the requirement for nine states to ratify the Constitution.

Virginia (White Stripe)

Virginia one of the thirteen colonies, became the 10th state on June 25, 1788. Richmond became the capital of the Confederacy on May 29, 1861, but re-entered the Union after the war.

New York (Red Stripe)

On July 26, 1788, New York , one of the thirteen colonies, became the 11th state.

North Carolina (White Stripe)

North Carolina, one of the thirteen colonies, became the 12th state on November 21, 1789. North Carolina troops suffered the greatest losses of all the states during the Civil War while fighting for the Confederacy, re-entered the Union after the fighting ceased.

Rhode Island (Red Stripe)

Rhode Island was the last of the thirteen colonies to join the Union on May 29, 1790.

End history lesson for today.

Good to know, but I don't believe we called it "classic" 40 or so years ago.

Course, they weren't called "classic" Wheel Horses back then, either.

40 years!?! :thumbs2:

Thank you, Professor, that's about as long a history lesson as my brain wants to handle these days, well done!

Some of this actually came back to me as I was reading it, maybe I was just paying more attention this time around. :thumbs2:

I once had a house roof gutter salesman at my door telling me his gutters had a double lifetime warrentee. (This really did happen) I was "in a mood" at the time, and really let this guy have it. My nephew was laughing his butt off behind me, and my wife was trying to hide under the carpet. Prob. about 6 years ago, and we still laugh about it even today.

I will say the Craftsman tool lifetime warranty is good for life. I broke a 3/4 socket a few months ago that my grandfather bought (I don't know when but a long time ago) and it was replaced no questions asked. No need for a receipt or anything. I'll definately stick with Craftsman hand tools after that.
