Just a few fleeting thoughts:
From online reference source:"If the term pygmy is defined as a group's men having an average height below 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch), then there are also pygmies in Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Andaman Islands,[4] Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Bolivia, and Brazil,[5] including some Negritos of Southeast Asia."
I guess, should I decide to open a boat yard for our sized boats from the above I know where to run my help wanted ads. I would suspect I would have a fit with immigration getting H1B Visas for them not being a member of the Fortune 500. One source not mentioned is a tribe, group or "insert here" _________ the current politically correct flavor of the week, is in Puerto Rico, therefore US citizens....Just a thought.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Next, what happens to all the hatches, doors, fittings ports and so on of the broken ships such as the Costa Concordia...just an example, there are many, many more ships wrecked out every year and there must be a massive amount of stuff we could use. How can ya buy it, Why is not someone importing into the USA containers full for resale? If that is happening, how is it going? They break the ships in a 5th word country where the welders wear flip flops on the job so sand blasting, refurb work would be cheap over there, where ever that is.
=========================
More random thoughts invited here, lay off guns, anchors, Obama, battery cables and other religions might be a good idea...just a thought.:lol:
