    As always Peter your snide topical reply ignores a host of grim realities. Bus them. Where to? Who would drive the buses? What about the old? What about the infirm?

    To be competitive nowadays the port needs to be located as close to open water as possible. See Portland, OR as example of uncompetitive port.

    Peter Puget is for forced government evacuations? There were free market options available to these persons, why didn't they take advantage?

    A certain administration has a history of underestimating the requirements of disastrous situations, and completely screwed priorities. Too wit: Porn is the problem

    Haven't done much city living have you? Sure you are probably fine out in the burbs. High population densities don't work well without functioning infrastructure, which was proven in the 19th century, and is being proven in New Orleans. What do you do with the sewage produced by an 800 person apt building? Where do they get fresh water? Best way to deal with open flame cooking/heating in said building? How about the old/infirm, how do they cope with these conditions?

    It's water comes from as far north as Shasta. Drive down 5 and you follow the California Aqueduct. Drive down 395 and all the way from Mono lake you are following the pipeline, that goes through and over every mountain in the way. Bishop will forever be a small town, and so will the rest of the valley. LA already owns all of the land And they did that all almost 100 years ago! Humans are unbelievably persistant. New Orleans will be rebuilt, perhaps better, of course with federal funds. Maybe someday we'll learn
  16. If it's good enough for veal, it's good enough for me!
  17. Add a trekking pole on the outside arms for extra traction. If you are solo trekking poles add to the crossing ability as well.
  18. Horses don't build berms, drops, or create massive straight line erosion problems.
  19. The string of incidents beforehand + the canyon do.
  20. More than in non-geek professions.
  21. Not much good cell service outside the valley in my experience (to phone in an incident). With the number of weird incidents that have happened in/around Yose (rangers murdered, familys raped & murdered) while suck, the cars response isn't surprising.
  22. This CC.com know it all work with several Koreans who all want to own own business. They buy franchise, work, when wife see numbers, she and husband go back to real jobs! If more asians like HarryPi, US have nothing to worry about!
  23. Returning this post to it's original topic, franchises, if you look at recent history it'll show that most franchises don't pay good salaries, require long hours, and produce only equity in the end, assuming it's a sustainable franchise model (not Krispy Kreme). In short, I sincerely doubt Marie's story.
