US National Pool Championships, July 5-12, 2026, Dubuque, IA

Well, they used to fly to Dubuque -- I checked when I made the OP. Orbitz now says there is nothing from Chicago on the dates I chose in July. The airport webpage says they only have charter flights on Sun Country.

When I ask American to get me to Dubuque, they propose to fly me to Madison, Wisconsin. That's only an hour and a half drive.

Southwest flies to Des Moines, and then I don't have to drive across any big rivers. Three hour drive. My great grandfather was from Des Moines. I don't know who these Gilchrist people are, though.

Can anyone verify if this is a Adam Rambow R/A-7B?

Due to modern finishes Shellac is on the decline but I doubt it ever goes away entirely.
It is a huge part of India's economy. The beetles actually excrete a natural polymer. A sustainable product that has been used for 3000 years. It takes a lot of labor to produce.
Yes, I understand that.

I'm not sure what I remember hearing about it. That was before my head injury.

There was some big news about the production.
