I see your point.

Thanks! That was a nice read.

I'm surprised they published the minors' name.

Happy B'day, gents!

Really. Anyone who gives 2 cents about watching NFL football would have to be a thick as could possibly be, not to recognize the charging buffalo and the city it represents.

Does that include the freedom of a business owner to allow smoking on the property he owns? Don't his patrons have the freedom to smoke? Is your freedom not to be around smoke superior to their freedom to smoke? Do you want to infringe on a smoker's freedom?

I think it will be totaled as Steve suggests. Body repair and re-painting isn't cheap. The hood and deck lid will have to be replaced. Dents in the sheet metal above the structural stampings on those parts can't be hammered out. Well, they can - but it would take a lot of labor by a really skilled craftsman who would drill and pull the dents up, then fill in the remaining incongruities with lead and/or pewter. The various organic resins do a good job, but eventually they fail for several reasons. The number of folks that still have skills working and repairing body metal with pewter and lead is few. So it's a part replacement these days. The roof outer skin will have to be replaced. That's cutting, re-welding, prime and topcoat painting, and a whole lot of trim disassembly and reassembly. A very major undertaking. If you don't mind the cosmetic damage, take the settlement minus the salvage deduction and continue to drive the vehicle. And it wasn't a crash that caused the loss. I doubt your claim would raise rates.

There's a stretch of road here in Cincinnati that runs east-west past the ballpark, that's officially named named "Pete Rose Way". However, there's a goodly bunch of locals who refer to it as the "Cooperstown Bypass".

Joe - no 2003 Civic has a market value of 11K. Unless it was a museum piece with a thousand miles on it and somehow there was some pathologic Civic lover out there that just had to have it.

And you've no reason to patronize businesses where smoking occurs, either. Unless you believe that owners of private property should have their rights snuffed out by the State. You were born too late - Communist Russia was your ticket.

More cabal?

Embark on a crusade to make them illegal nationwide. Save me please. Since your State will will have to replace that heavy sin tax, proudly pay that extra 400 bucks per year in State income tax to make up the shortfall. Sign your tax return with a breath of fresh air!

Oh no, I know you meant no disrespect. You just happened to feed me an irresistible straight line and I went with it.

Such was a non-issue when TBD posters were stuffing the ballot box to get Lynch named a Rookie of the Week. It always...depends on whose ox is getting gored.

One could only guess at the piles and piles of residual monies he's received over the years thanks to Star Trek re-runs.

"And the Lord said...let there be cool events." That's from the unexpurgated Book of Genesis.

I remember the Simpson Derby in 1968. Going into week 12, PHI was in the driver's seat at 1 - 10, ahead of BUF at 1 - 9 - 1. For reasons unknown, PHI knocked off NO and ended the season at 2 - 12. The Bills dutifully dumped the last 2 games and ended at 1 - 11 - 1. I can't speak for the bulk of Bills fans at the time, but in my circle, the Philly defeat of the Saints was cause for jubilation - no high 5's - they were yet to be invented. The Bills drafted OJ. PHI drafted Purdue's two-way player Leroy Keyes, who hung around for a couple of years. It's history...

I confess...I often DWS (Drive While Smoking). The evil second-hand smoke. You would think that smokes would be made illegal (never mind the fact that in OH where I reside, it's the 4th highest source of tax revenue for the State. Never let better health conflict with better tax revenue.). Smoking is banned in bars here. I say they should ban alcohol in bars!

What's your major? Marxist Studies?

Translation, please?

The refining process for gasoline and motor oil are vastly different. There is no comparison in volume, either. You would have to be living in a cave to have not to have read the non-stop articles that discuss the factors that affect retail gasoline pricing. Promo - go and read!

Were you around when the late Mayor Jimmie Griffin amid much fanfare, unveiled the infamous "Dancing Dog Bones"?

File a claim. Given the age of the vehicle, and especially the very high repair cost of cutting off and replacing a roof outer skin, as well as the cost of a new hood and deck lid...the vehicle may well be totaled out. I can't speak for Geico, but years ago I got run off the road driving a 1 year old Ford Tempo. I lost $$$ overall, of course - but it was totaled because of the torn-up bodywork and the payout was reduced a couple of thousand because I kept the vehicle. It was drivable, and I eventually sold it and recovered that few thousand. There was no rate increase. In any event, if you don't care to get it fixed if it's not totaled, merely return the repair check to Geico.

One of them - gosh, just as cute as a bunny - might have become the Vice President.
