Trask, you misquote Bush. He didn't say it like it was a good thing, even though he sort of did make a joke about it. I feel just awful now. I thought I'd be the last person on earth to defend Bush.

I think that what trask was trying to say was that judges aren't all those things simultaneously. They are all one of those things or the other.

I agree. She's on her way down.

I'd just say no thanks, unless they are willing to do some serious training with you on Rainier, like in winter.

Talk about it. My partner dislocated his finger helping a friend put up a basketball hoop. So now my super secret project will have to wait.

My partner just dislocated his finger. He doesn't know if he will be up to going. Is there anyone else who might be interested? We've got the weather for Sunday.

Thank you, sobo.

I just saw on the evening news that the man was sentenced to four years. The judge thought that the sentence recommended by the prosecutor was too lenient considering the man had a prior conviction of masterminding the robbery of an armored car. Given that, I'd say that four years is still too lenient.

In other words, the cost didn't have anything to do with moving 16 million yards of soil in an urban environment, while still enabling cars to use the old highway. It's all the unions fault. Gotcha.

Stanley Holloway anyone? With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm In the town of London, large as life, the ghost of Anne Boleyn walks they declare. Poor Anne Bolyn was once King Henry's wife until he made the headsman bob her hair. Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago and she comes up at night to tell him so, Chorus: With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour. She comes to haunt King Henry. She means giving him what for. Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off. She's feeling very sore, And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore, she's has her head tucked underneath her arm. (Chorus) The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in and when they had a few they shout, "Is Army going to win?" They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann Boleyn with her head tucked underneath her arm. Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread for all his pals and gals and ghostly crew. The headsman craves the joint and cuts the bread then in comes Anne Boleyn to queer the do. She holds her head up with a wild war whoop and Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!" (Chorus) One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar. Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn , or Cath'rine Parr? How the sweet san fairy Ann, do I know who you are with your head tucked underneath your arm?"

The Big Dig doesn't even compare to the Panama Canal. Boston's Big Dig: 16 million cubic yards Panama Canal: 211 million cubic yards

Better living through chemistry.

Murray, I'd say it was the latter.

It seems totally counterintuitive that anything farmed should be worse for the environment than taking wild creatures. There must be a way to farm salmon without harming the environment.

In a related story from the same site. You too can become Space Junk.

Why even have insurance then? We got dropped shortly after making a $600 claim on stuff that was lost when our van was stolen. They claimed our roof was not in good condition- a total red herring.

Candidate for what, your next one night stand?

More cannon fodder.

Do you speak from experience? I have had some good farmed salmon and some bad farmed salmon. It varies.

Sounds interesting, but what if there isn't enough friction on the ATC. Seems like a biner brake would make more sense.

He's a politician. His campaign contributors sign the checks. They wag the dog.

Chirac is not acting on his own trask. He has a lot of backing on this.

Poverty is defined by the dominant consumer culture in this country. Before the whiteman came to North America, the natives probably didn't consider themselves as a whole to be "impoverished". And yet, but our standards they were. Any attempt to subsist by a hunter gatherer lifestyle will be labeled impoverished. The reservations were created to allow native americans to continue to live as their ancestors had done, except that they were given poor quality lands, in general. Today most native Americans no longer wish to live a subsistence livestyle. They want to continue to live on their reservation, AND enjoy the same prosperity as non-tribal citizens. They want a nice house, two cars in the garage, the DVD and all the modern accouterments. The reservations that happen to abut urban areas have been the ones that have been able to best take advantage of gaming. I am sure they would like to be less dependent on a single source of income, but because the reservations are subject to tribal law it has been difficult to attract the capital needed to provide jobs. Uncertainty is bad for investment. It seems the tribes are getting smarter and tightening up their laws and trying to make them more consistent with the state and Federal laws.

Glacier, your stream of conciousness style is reminiscent of MtnGuide- one humongous paragraph. Can you explain what you mean by "droplet spectra"?
