I'll get more specifics from her when she comes back on Monday if you'd like. Let me know. On another note, I just opened today's mail and it turns out that my employer needs proof that my wife of 25 years is really my wife--or they're kicking her off my policy effective September 30th!

Hopefully it was a legitimate injury and you weren't just milking the system like liberals are so fond of doing.

Pretty much what I'm saying. Huffingtonpost and Limbaugh Letter are two sides of the same coin.

That's a funny statement coming from someone who reads Huffingtonpost to stay informed.

Not sure what company you applied with. My daughter finished college last year and got a $160/mo policy with BCBS of Washington that covered her pre-existing ACL tear and the required surgery. The only activities they asked her about were skydiving, hang-gliding, and, of course, smoking. Who did you apply with again?

Chewack River Ranch. Summer of 1986. Groundhog. 6 feet. 12 gauge. #4 shot. What a mess. My wife didn't speak to me for three days. My brother worked summers there and bagged over 130 of the little buggers with a .22 magnum rifle.

I grew up with a single father. I was only about 9 or ten years old when his date at the time canceled out on a Niel Diamond concert at the last minute. My dad looked at me, two tickets in hand, and the rest is history. My first concert.

What would be really cool would be to go back in 2 or three years, take another photograph, and see if you could note any changes in the wave patterns.

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've always liked that song.

That you are willing to satisfy your intellectual curiosity via no small undertaking/investigation is impressive. Very nice report.

bread... bread... bread... FIRECRACKER!!! bread... bread...

Send it labeled "Attention: 2nd Amendment fund." They'll get a kick outta that.

On our way home we'll stop off at Casa Que Pasa and have him make us one of 'dem po-tay-to burritos 'for we beat im down.

What do you mean by "you people", you racetard? I think he's making threats. You up for a trip to lilly-white Bellingham KK?

Err, would it have to do with the race-baiting and minority/poor voter suppression efforts by Republicans at election times? Do you need details? Like this? [video:youtube]

Oh my! That really was a Hansu Hitori.

I'm sure Limbaugh was speaking rhetorically, using satire and illustrative tongue-in-cheek humor. Much like the libtools do here.

Did he have time take a trophy scalp before calling 911? An ear, finger, or foreskin at least?

Like this one? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/905643/TR_Ptarmigan_Traverse_9_2_2009#Post905643 Since you don't actually climb, I'm not sure why you're posting here. Do you have anything to contribute?

There's a lot of info out there. In addition to being nasty in the particulate matter department, the production of diesel fuel uses 25% more energy--virtually all of the energy per mile you gain while driving isn't real. Also keep in mind that there is a NASA study currently underway that may end up placing a lot of the blame for glacial recession on albedo decreases caused by soot. Here's a place to start: http://www.air-quality.org.uk/26.php http://www.air-quality.org.uk/04.php

Passat TDI has the same engine capacity as regular Passat. The only reason these cars get better gas mileage is not some superior drive train efficiency, but energy content in diesel fuel vs regular gasoline (which is close to twice). Popularity of diesel in Europe is due to the price point of diesel, which is cheaper. In the US diesel is only slightly cheaper, and the pollution created by diesel is much worst then pollution created by gasoline. Going towards natural gas/propane systems would make much more sense. Propane/Gas would indeed. But this is rated 9 out of 10 stars for reliability (96 ONLY). And 54mpg means I burn 1/2 as much fuel as the 25 mpg vehicle that opened this thread. Are you saying that deisel pollutes twice as bad as regular unleaded? It's over 20 times worse.

You're kind of an asshole.

Huh??

I stopped reading ANAM ten years ago. Same sad tales. Nobody learns from them. It seems no tale, however terrible, can overcome the self-assuredness of the mountain climber.
