Geroge Mason...why I believe there is a University by that name. One of the professors there was the Australian, John Burton, an expert in human conflict. He built on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

I agree with myself, and all who agree with me and see things my way. I agree to disagree with anyone who disagrees with me or doesn't see things my way.

What was that about steaks and potatoes and states and RS units? Oh yeah, I had a sandwich that looked like an SD9 once.....or was it a Trainmaster?

I went to use the chainsaw for the first time in a few years. The fuel line were all rotten, so I got some new ones as well as the primer bulb, but haven't figured out how to install the line through those holes. Maybe I'll just use the truck to pull the tree out by its roots instead. Oh, wait, the truck has a flat, too. Never mind, I'll skip the yardwork this weekend and fix the car instead.

Did I forget anything?

Sour...speaking of which, lemon really helps some of the city water around here. Well water's okay though. It's raining here now, pretty big thunder storms really.

Do you think Marlena will ultimately choose John or Alex North?

I hate that Danielle and Dani were eliminated from The Amazing Race because they were unfairly yeilded.

They need to hurry up and vote out Shane now that the tribes have merged.

Is it just me or is Stacy Keibler not one of the hottest babes on the planet!

Which is better - Rock & Roller Coaster or Tower of Terror?

For my money, no show will ever hold a candle to Seinfeld...."and you want to be my latex salesman".

Well, this ought to keep the fires stoked for a while!!!

The photo has been around for a while...a clever composite image. However, the Sun and the Moon have the same apparent angular diameter to the naked eye (and thus to a camera). They both appear to be about 1/2 a degree of arc in diameter. So, the fact that the "moon" is nearly twenty times larger than the brighter Sun in this image means that it is manufactured.

Still beautiful, I agree.

If you think this is bad, try posting on rec.models.railroad. There are no moderators on r.m.r, but then, it doesn't shut down and is not beholden to any corporate entity like Atlas, Kalmbach, Yahoo, or anyone else. It's the closest thing one can get to "free speech" on the internet.

To Hotshot Charlie and UK Guy....

I would welcome a visit to the MA&G from both of you...just say when. UK Guy, I had e-mailed you last week to extend an invitation since we are literally neighbors. Not sure if you got it or not. Let me know if you are interested!

Cliff,

no I never recieved the mail but I would definately love to visit, I just mailed you back with my contact details.

Is anyone else worried that the ozone layer over my back yard may be so far depleted that the smoke from my barbecue may obliterate the sun and we may suffer another ice age.... or do I worry too much??

Have fun and keep em medium/rare
Karl.
