If ethanol had not driven up the price of corn, most farmers would not have planted anything this spring. As it stands there should be a profit this year for farmers but not to the extent most think. There are a few farmers in my area that go through 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel a day during the spring planting. This is in upstate NY where fields are relatively small. I can't imagine what the farmers in the mid-west go through in a day. The price of most fertilizers has also increased dramatically. If corn were still $4 a bushel like last fall, or even $2.50 a bushel as it was before that, the farmers could not overcome the cost of fuel and fertilizer and the fields would have set idle. This stands for the dairy, beef, poultry, and pork farms as well. It takes oil/diesel/gas to run the tractors, plant the crops, clean the barns, and feed the animals. Yes, the price of corn that is fed has increased but so have nearly all of the other inputs. Ethanol may not be the solution but without it there would be hardly any crops and or meat reaching the market at any price.

I got a serious virus warning on this link.

They both give the same year/age for me. The Bills have until the year 2062 to win the Super Bowl, although I hope it's much sooner than that.

Easy man, I usually don't fall for it, I just had a mental lapse. Kinda like Puhonix.

I know. First time I fell for it though.

Damn!

Just because the receivers managed to get their hands on them doesn't mean that they weren't poor throws by Holcolmb. I'll give you the interception that Shelton tossed into the defenders hands. Even though the throw was poor there is no way that would have been intercepted had Shelton not played hot potatoe with it. IMO Holcomb makes some of the same stupid decisions as JP does. The difference is that Holcomb has been in the league a long time. He should have learned from those mistakes by now. The fact that he hasn't backs up my belief that he is an excellent back up or spot starter but he has never been, nor will he ever be, a full time starting caliber quarterback. The fans and media that call for Holcomb to start seem desperate for any win. All year long many claimed that by starting Losman and giving him playing time you were throwing the season away. IMO it was obvious by game 3 that there wasn't a season to throw away. There was no play-off caliber defense wasted. All that was gained by starting Holcomb was to delay the growing pains of a young quaterback. Campy I don't know where you stand on the issue and I am not calling you out. You just happened to post something I felt I needed to respond to. I had not entered into this arguement during the season. I don't know if Losman is the answer at quarterback, but I really hope that he is and I am pulling for him. What I do know is that Holcomb is not the answer. He is a career journeyman quarterback who can give you a good game now and then. He has been in this league for 10 years and still hasn't found "it". There will be no light bulb that finally turns on in his head. Give JP the ball and see if he can find "IT". It amazes me that some fans will give Holcomb more time to improve after 10 years but they won't even give JP 10 games.

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to find stuff online about neighborhoods but they aren't very informative. If the move happens it will be in July. Gives us a chance to get settled before the school year starts. I NEED to convince the wife to do this. She is very much against leaving her family.

He could easily have been exaggerating a bit. How long have you been out there? I guess the main questions I have pertain to what area I should be looking at for an apartment/house. How would you compare the cost of living to WNY?

Before my time, and aren't shells hot enough to melt the plastic bag when they are ejected?

Ok, now you guys are getting a little scary.

Too many for a revolver.

He moved out there the first week of November. I'm not sure how he got the job but he ended up checking people in at the front desk. He didn't start the job until the 3rd week of November. Two weeks ago he told me he was getting a promotion to assistant manager. He said with that job he would clear over $38,000 per year. Not crazy money by any stretch but impressive for a guy that never made more than $12/hour around WNY, never went to college, barely graduated high school, and has only been out there for 2 1/2 months.
