Ghost of BiB

I bet the city attorneys are sicker than the mayor right about now. I think 'Act of God" can cover a lot, but they still have to respond to the suits.

Portland is a nice town. Great waterfront. True NE seafood. There's a restaurant built on an old car ferry that has one of the best single malt collections I've seen in a while.

Whatever the moral implications, money usually talks. As far as people being understanding, this is America. For every person who is, there is another indignant bastard who will sue the hotel. We have a lot of very giving people in this country, we also have some of the most selfish I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of the world.

But Mark is a blonde.

You're almost as dreamy as Darin.

Realize what?

Most people have very little idea how much has been done to prevent that from happening. Successes are never cheered because few are known about. It makes it tough on those running the show, especially the administration because nothing screams news like a failure.

Drudge Yes, Drudge. OK. Shut up about any politicals. Now...don't even start. I posted this for the aerial photos. If you've ever been to NO, you know what you're looking at.

One could also make the argument that another 9/11 scale attack or worse would be used to validate the idea that this administration can not protect them. This is more a question of assets and capabilities. If/when AQ has the pieces in place to execute another 9/11 scale attack, they will pull the trigger.

Depending on what got washed around, the construction engineering is going to be a drop in the bucket against the environmental cleanup. I can't imagine anyone is going to be hot on a bunch of eating and drinking places sitting on a pile of halogens, PCB's and hexavalent chromium. They might have to write off a lot of real estate for that alone. Flood damage isn't limited to above ground, I would imagine a lot of perched water flow has been affected too. Who knows what got drug in?

et faisons Man, I go to lunch and look what goes on around here in the meantime.

360. And FOX gals makes the weather babes look bad.

The devestation is by no means over. I lived near Ft. Knox for several years. The Ohio floods if you look at it crosseyed.

I'd be concerned if I didn't know for a fact that this is all about making money for Halliburton.

I wouldn't turn my back on South America, either.

This is actually scary.

Please don't use the word "pat" in a QB post. Gives me chills.

And you can fry your retatta noodles in it.

I watched part of the Jets/Giants first team game the other day. Pennington had two picks and a fumble in about 4 series. Looked to me like that shoulder could well still be an issue, but what do I know.

At least 54 dead in Mississippi. So far.

TV will tell us what to do.

Drink less, smoke less, post less. And TSW is not the place to discuss policy or business. TSW is the place to discuss the Buffalo Bills, big titties and really sharp looking asses. Sometimes, fart jokes. (We have a few ladies who lied and said they are into eyes, now...don't believe them) And trivials. A lot of people here don't visit often, or at least don't post on PPP. If you want to post your political thoughts, don't run away and post them on the main board. Stay and talk to us, young 'un.

Has anyone seen any of the Hobbit Women up close? Is there any "hot factor" there? I'd think the implications as to snug speak for themselves. (If you can get away from them falling in love with you on a first date.)

Never watched it. I'm sure it's very entertaining, which is it's point. Didn't you know the aliens took over the world after Mulder left? TV mirrors reality, you know.

I run synthetic oil. Yes, it's much more expensive but it's more expensive because it's better for my car, and holds it's properties longer. Especially if you do a lot of city driving. So, whether you change your own or go to the station, buy the top of the line oil filter, run synthetic and change your oil every 6 months instead three, or every 6,000 miles instead of 3,000. If your budget is so tight that you can't afford maybe losing about $100.00 per year over going cheap by doing that, maybe buy 4 less bottles of vodka, or see 4 less movies at the theater. Whatever fires your retros. That's once every three months to not do something you never think about anyway. Is it that hard? If we are all going to get so conservative minded, what I've seen here and elsewhere is excuses for why oil changes don't increase like gas prices. It's still oil. Right there is an overall cheaper way to cut down on oil usage. How many cars and trucks are on the road in the US? Well, when you are wtching the bottom line for a major railroad or trucking company, those cents add up. When you are looking at the SUV in your driveway, where is the impact? I keep hearing all this conversation on alternative sources. You already have one, but it's not sexy like "gas prices". I'm too lazy to look at how much petroleum production is devoted to commercial lubes, but I'm pretty sure it isn't insignificant. When you are talking millions and billions of gallons or bbls, 5-10% isn't insignificant.
