RE: [californiadisasters] plane down

Rick, Back in the day when you used to play, did you ride the tail board or did they allow you to drive the horses ?       oops ! jrb --- On Thu, 7/1/10, Rick Bates <HappyMoosePhoto@gmail.com> wrote: From: Rick Bates <HappyMoosePhoto@gmail.com> Subject: RE: [californiadisasters] plane down To: californiadisasters@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010, 7:07 PM Of course you're correct.  I'll vent a little whine so others in the group can get used to some of the newer terms. The 'new' designation (past 6-7 years) of contained is, 'it's OUT' as opposed to the 'old school' meaning simply "we got it surrounded or stopped forward progress'.  I've even used the phrase "Shaky containment" which meant exactly that "We got it, but I ain't so sure how well (don't cancel units just yet)".  'Under control' meant exactly what is says (It ain't goin' nowhere). Sometimes newer isn't better.  Mean what you say and say what you mean, contained used in the current fashion is vague.  I don't like it, but that's life.  I'm not playing anymore but I still pay attention.
