True, but mostly I was wearing my conspiracy hat and thinking that he got such a dramatically reduced sentence because perhaps some folks were involved who might not like it to be known that they were.

Glad you're still with us. Sounds like you've had quite a week.

Makes you wonder who he sold the guns to....?

That would be Alemites. I used to work there. Many years ago, some in the company wanted to trademark the name, but got over-ruled. How'd that work out? :D

I had one of those! Had about every arcade game that ever existed for it.

Welcome!

It'll come out with a screw extractor. Just go slow.

    Motherboard not fried thankfully.  After disconnecting nearly everything, leaving it for a week, and putting it back together, he was able to get it to boot off a disk and get Win7 loaded. 

Definiately an asset...  Companion, security system, food source...

    Shoot them (squirrels) and they (vultures) will come. 

    Apologies for being an asshole.  But how exactly did you manage that?

    Joe Brown Hwy?

Welcome!

Thankfully there's at least signs on both ends now stating trailer length limits (30 ft max, if I recall) and hairpin turns far enough away that there's an opportunity for a smart driver to turn around. Though it's not particularly well enforced.

FTFY

The BRP.... http://brpatravelplanner.nomadmobileguides.com/m/website/index.html

129 to SETN?  Wouldn't just staying on 64/74 be faster?   Still... glad you managed to survive the experience. 

What they said... no.  Vultures are in the same category as all other raptors (hawks, kestrels, owls, etc.).  They're also one of the smartest birds out there. 

I can just imagine the dance of trying to untangle this thing and draw, falling down, and blowing the gun up about an inch from your spine.    Other than that, what could go wrong?

Reminds me of what Jeff Foxworthy said when the Olympics came to the Ocoee.... "If Ned Beaty can't make it down that river, a Frenchman in bicycle pants hasn't got a chance." :D

I went out on a boat a couple weekends ago. First time for my kids and first time for me in at least 25 years. Thankfully we didn't have any such issues, though I learned a few places I most definitely will not be going in my canoe.

"Protect and Serve" at its finest. That man deserves a raise.

    Heh.... He lived down the street from my uncle when he played for the Pistons.   My uncle was home one afternoon when the doorbell rang.  He answered it to find a (near) 7' man standing on his front porch wearing khaki's and a Pistons polo.  "Hi, I'm Rasheed.  I play for the Pistons and just moved in down the street.  Just saying hello to my new neighbors."   They chatted for a minute or two about the Pistons, who the other neighbors were, and then he walked to the next house on the street and rang the doorbell.    My uncle said he was a perfect gentleman. 

I went to college with Terrell Owens.  I chatted with him on a couple of occasions during basketball tournaments (I was a band geek).  He is (was), by far, the most athletically talented person I've ever met.  At the time, he seemed like a pretty nice guy and was relatively "normal".  Funny how money/fame changes people.    One of my wife's aunts went to high school with Wayne Knight (Newman, from Seinfeld). 

I use these. About $15 at walmart.
