About turn-of-the century naphtha yachts in Brooklyn:
The popular size open boats of the middle nineties were the 16 footers, costing $650, the 25 footers, costing $1,050, or the 30 footer for $1,600, cash strictly. You could buy various sizes of cabin cruisers, or a 125 foot twin-screw beauty, with two 50 h.p. engines, 4 cylinders, using 25 quarts of naphtha an hour, for $22,000.
— MotorBoating, February 1934
$22K in 1910 when the Peoples’ Pulpit “gifted” the Angel to Russell is about $533,340 in 2016 dollars.
A few paragraphs up:The first minister to own the new launch was the Rev. Frank Landon Humphries of Morristown, N.J., who ordered another innovation, a Daimler lighting plant installed in his 82 by 12 foot craft, run by two 24 h.p. engines, with twin screws.
What a wimpy vessel compared to Pastor Russells’! Interesting that they note a Christian minister. Was this a trend?
And a few paragraphs down:These pioneer boat-owners were for the most part… men of comfortable means; as yet the sport belonged to the more opulent.
Gilded Age financiers like William Astor and industrialist Jay Gould are mentioned. -

I miss OrphanCrow and her formidable research skills!
Ditto! Great to see you again, OrphanCrow.
And thanks, rebel8, for helping her get this up and out.
The HLCs appear to be the foot soldiers of SABM. Both demand further scrutiny. -

"Make America hate again"
by MarkofCane in“trump is predicting he’ll be able to do all these things, but his workload will be pretty enormous and his power would be so limited by precedent, by the bureaucracy, by the constitution,” said robert dallek, a presidential historian.
“even in trade and immigration, where trump says he will make revolutionary changes, congress has a say on those things.
a lot of people have a say.

Hey, Sophia’s mommy was drawing too. Anyone notice?
Logos for “Orange Yarn Productions”.
Orange, as in Orange County, NY. Location of Warwick HQ.
Yarn, as in “a long or rambling story, especially one that is implausible.”
An inside joke? -

I didn't see any hate. What did I miss?
The (implied) gay man who can’t get through Jehovah’s security gate is equated with being a terrorist. It’s as if he has a weapon of mass destruction in his carry-on bag.
Later, he reads the Bible, throws down his homosexual terrorist carry-on bag, and leaps through the security gate into Paradise. Beyond the gate two little boys are swimming.
Don’t you see? If gay people would just read the Bible, Witness children would finally be safe.
There’s a another disturbing aspect to this. Caleb has no face.
Sophia is so focused on herself and her model-perfect Witnoid parents that she left out a MALE.
What happens when little girls consider their personal happiness? What happens when we leave out the males?A female-only world with bad gay mommies, that’s what!
So, little girls, focus on the MALES, obey the men in Jehovah’s Manly arrangement. He knows what's best for us.
What a mess. -

His real name was "Prance.”
His producers changed it in case audiences thought he was gay.
