    Even the accountants I know are for a "fair" or flat tax. Haven't asked any lawyers.

    Once basic needs are exempted is it really important that the sales tax isn't "fair"?

    Tannin, there is a difference between lights which are pretty and garbage which is unsightly. I think someone needs a hug.

    Christmas Lights

    I don't like gobs of Xmas decorations. I like things simple. I'm still repairing my new house right now so I'll probably not do anything this year but I would be inclined to put up a wreath on the door, a tree, an advent calender and a couple of strands of lights.

    Many of the masses do go by car. Me and three college student drove 1500 miles round trip for T-giving break. And there were plenty of other cars out there too.

    I have done quite a few SBSx to SBS2003 migrations. It all begins with building up a second server as a domain controller and moving the exchange datastore wholesale.

    I saw it once, months ago from about 15 feet away. It could very well have been this one with/out a weather housing. http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/office-voyeurism/the-google-maps-street-view-camera-264972.php

    The thing mounted on a stand on the roof looked like a big black tylenol. A 40oz tylenol. Now that I think about it if it were GPS it wouldn't need to be outside of the car.

    Beautiful! I have this great shot that I'll post sometime. It is a series of shots stitched together. It wasn't until I loaded the pictures into the stitching software that I noticed every frame was rotated about 5 degrees counter-clockwise. I must have been standing on a rock. : D

    Train Travel

    And the conclusion to the story: After the bridge collapse in MLPS they checked all of the train equipment and shutdown the whole Cascades route. They wanted to stick me on a bus but I had them put me on the Starlight again. I had to wait an hour for the new departure time but other than that...

    I've used a TomTom and a Nuvi. The TT was big and bulky. I think the nuvi worked better. The TT was ~$300. The nuvi was ~$600.

    I work at the local water treatment plant about 5 times a year. There are specific areas that I'm not supposed to go and I'm even supposed to take a specific path through a nearly wide open room. I'm told the snipers are watching.

    You act like these things are rights. You do not have an inalienable right to visit your family or not die young or keep the lights on. In the old days, the community would send a few kids to college and the kids would respond by funneling part of their income back into the community. That is...

    Most of the homeless at the shelter where I volunteer are either drug-addicted or mentally disabled. I'd say 50 percent are drug-addicted and 25 mentally disabled.

    Trains have a relatively high center of gravity. Whether or not a train will fly off the tracks in a turn is a function of the speed of the train and the angle of the turn. They can do things like bank the turns though. The blurb referred to preparation such as "tamping an extra ballast onto...
