Very well could be. Thanks!

I don't know - aren't they just for hard floors, not carpets? A Kohl's department store ad in this mornings' Cincy Enquirer paper them on sale for $299. No idea if that's a good price.

I suppose he may have a high contract that nobody else wants to honor. Or he could be one of those that hit the jackpot then decided to dog it. That's not unheard of.

People have seen plenty of Tim Tebow. He is a marquee college player - an excellent, entertaining college player, so Gators' games are featured by the broadcasters.

And some die of sadness for young people, who face propaganda machines that Goebbels could only dream of, and a State bristling with technology to quell threats to its' existence with swift retribution - Tibet and Iran are recent examples.

Rotary motors have relatively higher fuel consumption compared to piston engines. The do have a significant advantage - they are very compact power plants. One was installed in a Fraser-Nash concept car, shown at the 2009 Geneva auto show: http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/kit-eaton/...r-wont-be-built

Congrats!

Soon enough. Government health plans demand that to save costs mean that folks over say, 50, must be denied care. Foodstuffs dangerous to the State coffers will be restricted for the bulk of the population. Chicken wings, beef on weck - will be severely rationed. See the laws bouncing about in NYC recently. All the debate, such as it is today, is about...cost. As we observe. The evolutionists win the day when the old moralities and ethics perish. Survival of the fittest - along with a necessary crop to service the evolutionary winners - will supplant the old ideals when the oldsters die out. The most aggressive will dominate, as in the animal kingdom. If it is all just a matter of evolution, then there must be a master race of humans. Some strains of wheat are better than others. Some cows are better that other cows. Some pigs are better than other pigs. Bon apetit. Enjoy your brave new world.

Right. My town is dripping with with people that commit horrible...repeated assaults. Put their victims into a lifetime of disability and pain. They usually still roam the streets. After 20 or so arrests or so, they might spend a few days in the clink. Maybe. But they of course were victims themselves, according to liberals...never at fault. Prejudice, bad childhood, Republicans, drugs and alcohol, abusive parental figures, sexual dysfunction, addictive personality disorder, you name it.

Thank you.

When does Whitner's current contract end?

Very nice vehicle. I wonder about Mazda stylists, though. First, the Rx-8...it's front appearance was dubbed "the angry guppy" . This years' 3 and 6 sport silly grins.

Happy B'Day, pooj!

Sigh. I wish politicians would stop raising such things. IIRC, Obama etc. made some grandiose noise a few months ago about hi-speed rail connecting the country. The problems are huge. You need dedicated track. Unless you want to share with freight. Which means it won't be high speed. Rail lines aren't roads - you need long stretches of favorable geography on your side...which is currently occupied by existing freight lines. Right-of-way issues. Hi-speed rails don't have crossings...they have expensive underpasses or overpasses. So assuming you flick the freight off of existing lines (fat chance), rebuild that track, your cost per mile upgrade is huge.

89 in Cincy. Big storms last night. Power went out at 1:45 AM, and just came back on at 3:30 PM today. A tree trunk branch from the across-the-street neighbor crashed down across the road. Missed his car by inches.

The failure likely began with the well-documented intake gasket problem with the 3.1 v-6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_60-Degree_V6_engine Sad, but fades compared to the Toyota oil sludge settlement. Toyota fought it for years, blaming owners. IIRC, the problem came about because Toyota engineers narrowed block and head cooling passages to raise transient combustion chamber temperatures in the interest of more complete fuel/air charge burn. That raised the overall cylinder head temperature over time, and they failed to account for the fact that there is always some motor oil pooling in the nooks and crannies in the top surfaces of a head. So it got fried and turned into clots, which eventually circulated. They made a fundamental mistake - you address head drainage/cooling when you raise head temps. That's pretty much Motor Design 101 stuff... http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007...settlement.html

Thank you ! I revel in arcane facts. Seriously. Picture sitting in some chairs with companionable friends in some sort of pastoral setting. Birds tweeting in the distance. The lilac are in bloom. The food and drinks have worked a sonorous, sedative quietude. Under the warmth of a pleasant sun, one of the collection stirs, and with eyes remaining shut, utters "I say, did you know that Prince Albert had a supernumerary toe?"

That's what I originally postulated - he does not make the trip. If he shows up in a jurisdiction that has an outstanding warrant for him, he is fair game. You've been around, Dean, same as me. Perhaps the DA isn't up for re-election. If he is, a Hargrove is steaming fresh piece of meat for stoking the I'm-tough-on-crime-nobody gets away with it in MY county political ba-de-ba. When I lived in PGH, come election time, the county sheriff would make a big to-do about video poker machines in the bars, and cart them away with trumpets blaring and rose petals paving the way. And camera crews filming the triumph of justice, of course. A couple of days after election day, they were back in the bars. Enforcement of them was easy as could be, throughout the year. The law at the time was that they were allowed "for amusement only". Probably still is. And leagally could only take 1 coin at a time. Pretty easy to enforce - drop 50 cents in - if it took it, and let you play, haul it away. Which they didn't - enforce it or take'em away. Nobody - at least in PGH back then, would bother pounding the quarters down unless there was a payoff possibility. Once you got to be known as some sort of regular, you got your cash winnings in several surreptitious ways. One bar on Rt. 51 on the way towards PGH had a good method. If you were one of the lucky (few) winners, you learned to exclaim that with a certain degree of glee. The sharp-eyed bartender would note the "amusing" payout. When you sidled back up, the bartender would say "Didn't you want a quart to go?" You'd say yeah, and a quart of Olde Farty lager in a paper sack was there for you when you left. With the cash tucked in. They never deducted for the take-out swill, since they were desirous of your repeat custom. EDIT: Sorry, folks. Stories of times passed...

Only a few wacky ideas about politics and humanity...?

I'd say that puts an end to those who don't think that the media has a Democratic bias... Change You Can Believe In.

Yes - they can sign a piece of paper.
