"30" warning shots?  

30 shots aside, am I the only one wondering what the hell a US "Coast" Guard boat doing over there? 

Guarding our Coasts, obviously.

Good as thread as any to post that Urban's actually using the fact he has an NFL gig to try to resurrect the long-dead NFL career of Tim Tebow. Lulz!

My goodness.  So.....Daddy at like 19, then Grandpa at 38 and great pa at 56?  Or something like that.

At that rate, he'll be a great great great grandfather a little after 2055.

How cool would that be? "So, your great great great grandpa was Doctor K....Kind of fell off the map for nearly 2 decades, then came back and became like the oldest player to throw a no hitter"

I had a high school classmate (would have been 14 or 15) whose grandmother was 45 at the time

My mom’s side of the family...her cousin in Nelsonville....she was a mom at 15, grandma at 30 and great grandma at 48 but at 63 still isn’t a great great so the great granddaughters must have a little better decision making to them lol

How's the great grandmother status happen only 8 years after grandma status?  Is there an adoption in there?

Pretty impressive numbers nonetheless. 

I live in Alabama (originally from Ohio). Occasionally someone will say to me, "You're probably shocked by all the rednecks here."  I tell them that southern and southeastern Ohio can go toe-to-toe with any similar size area of Alabama.
