    - how long does it take an actual pool to fill? -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 06:53
- what do you typically do while you wait for the water to fill? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 06:40 7
  - usually I'll have other work to do, but today I'll run errands and fix my outdoor shower -- nm - CQ Apr 12, 06:50 2

        Hide them in plain sight -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 07:03 4
        
        Exactly. Look at the DarkStar or Tacit Blue. Obviously, alien tech was involved in the design of these craft. - TWuG Apr 12, 07:14 3
        
        Yeah - I was going to make a snarky comment like "Sure, that'll get me to go to Dayton", but looking at the museum now I actually want to go -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 07:31 2
