    Palin's Paul Revere

    Here is a cool, damp washcloth for your forehead. You're going to need it...OK, ready? I agree completely with what you said. :D

    Who to sign up with for ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE?

    I have AAA Plus, which gives you four 100-mile tows a year (AAA Classic gives 5-mile tows). They won't tow you if you are loaded (but many of the tow truck operators themselves don't know this). In any case, if you're loaded and need a tow, when you call in for the tow, uhm, don't tell them you...

    Palin's Paul Revere

    Well you got me there. I'd much rather have Emily Litella in the Oval Office than Obama. At least Emily Litella admitted when she was wrong (although Palin has a problem admitting when she's wrong, so maybe comparing those two is off the mark a little). Obama thinks he's never wrong, can do no...

    451 turtles

    $73 per turtle. That seems like a lot of no-money to have to deal with 451 turtles. You know those springy snakes they have in the fake cans of peanut brittle that come flying out when you open the can? Great fun. I think it would be very kewl to put 20 or 30 of those in a suitcase, and on...

    Palin's Paul Revere

    Not even close to (a) egg on their faces or (b) the facts coming out, and especially (c) ornery. Paul Revere absolutely did not perform his midnight ride to warn the British, firing shots or ringing bells to do so, as was stated by Palin. He was captured after his ride and then he spilled the...

    Medical bill paid with pennies

    Yep. :D He tried to back out of the deal, saying he didn't really mean real bananas, but a judge disagreed, just like what happened back in the 60s.

    how long?

    If I don't need to go home for something, I don't. I've camped out at a truck stop 75 miles from the house over a weekend, because I didn't want to deadhead home just to have to turn around and deadhead right back on Monday, losing my board position in the process. Generally it's 3-4 months, but...

    Medical bill paid with pennies

    Hey, I delivered to Vernal, UT once. It's about 35 miles west of Dinosaur, CO. I wish I could remember the details, and I know it's happened at least once before, back in the early 60s, but a few years ago some used car salesman (owner, actually) got a little too full of himself and his...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    The video at the link is not the phone video.

    Rooting a droid

    Thanks. It's as much for any other readers who might have the same questions. I figure, it's better to have too much information about something like this, than to have too little. I've rooted plenty of phones, just not mine. Not this one. I certainly know how to recover and reflash, but I...

    Mallard Nests in Middle of Home Depot

    Funny little story about a smart little duck that chose the Home and Garden department of a Bangor, Maine Home Depot for her nest. Mama duck looking for home improvement? Also, while watching the video, it will dawn on you that Beaver Cleaver now works at Home Depot. :D

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    The abuse is so far over the top that the people of Miami, and maybe the people of this country, should be marching on Miami Beach Police headquarters, in full-on mob mentality mode, looking for heads to put on pikes, and then spike them out front with a sign saying, "Failed To Protect and...

    Rooting a droid

    Incidentally, if you do root your phone, you'll want to have this little puppy installed: Permissions Denied | AppBrain Android Market

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    The laws are quite clear in that if you can be there, of if you can see there, you can photograph there (except for certain very specific situations). Whatever happens in public is in public, and anyone can take pictures or video of it, whether it be with a cell phone camera, surveillance...

    Rooting a droid

    No, that's not true. Rooted is rooted, all it means is that you have root level access. Once you do, you've got it. Later version updates may make it more difficult to root, but they can't remove the root access you've already got. If you root at 2.2 and then upgrade to 2.3, you've still got...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    Huh? Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?! Other than perhaps the cops who were involved, I can't imagine anyone trying to defend this. Trust me, I didn't post this to see if you would defend it. Mainly, I posted it to make Amonger feel good, to feel vindicated. :D

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    It starts off as perhaps a "he said" - "she said" kind of thing, but then you realize "he said" ain't makin' it up. And he's got the video to prove it. Miami Beach police shot a man to death, a bazillion times or thereabouts, after a relatively short chase on Memorial Day. The driver of the...

    Van fuel pumps

    I had an '88 soccer mommy van, and it had the fuel pump in the fuel tank. But any competent repair shop should have a tank stand, and it takes about an hour to drop the tank, replace the pump, and replace the tank.

    Thief cargo van driver

    No, no reason to. If he's found guilty of the stuff claimed in the OP, then it'll be public record, same as any other court case. The verdict is real, no longer a he said/she said thing, and there is no "rest of the story", since it's all right there, both sides.
