How I saved a stamp
Having gotten my new MBR1000 router and USB760 modem up and running I immediately trashed the boxes and shipping stuff. When I finally got 'round to filling out Verizon's rebate form for the USB760 modem this morning I find the original bar code label off the box must be included to qualify for the $50.00 rebate. Right.

Norden Bombsight training at Deming NM
During the Second World War, Deming was again the designated location for a training base. This time, the Deming Army Air Base was established east of town to train young airmen in the use of the secret Norden bombsight. The trainees were processed in groups of 500 every 6 weeks, and they flew their missions in the 150 AT-11 Beechcraft trainers, designated the Kansan, each armed with up to 10 practice bombs.
