Hmmm. ROADTRIP for MARGARITAS!

I squeeze fresh limes and add Grand Marnier. I must say they are fabulous!

That is true. There is nothing stealthy about this cat. And he's kind of clumsy too.

Our older cat, on the other hand, is so stealthy he just appears out of nowhere. You don't hear or see him coming, but suddenly he's there next to you.

You guys are such newbies! Where's the talk of cards and paper tape? :rolleyes:

While I wrote CARDS statements for data in SAS, I never handled actual cards.

I had a chocolate point Siamese that made far too much noise for a 5 lb cat. Then again, she apparently saw her siblings get eaten by a snake, so stealth and evasion might have been lacking genetically.

[QUOTE=ConciergeMike;11354560]Every circle out this way is dead except for Routes 70/72 and the one in front of ACY. There used to be one on the Black Horse Pike about 15 minutes before you got into AC, and that is gone too.

My mastery of the traffic circle on Rt 46 in Dover served me well when I was in Madrid. Don't slow down, show no fear and make no eye contact.

And the "no car contact" takes care of itself? :)

While my life is better in every way since Baglady came into me life :D it was not ignorance that kept me out of airline clubs, it was traveling with a boss who would never arrive at the airport in time to even see a club let alone enter one.

Earlier today, I mentioned seeing this precise thing happen in STL Sunday. Little did I know that this is apparently a touchy subject among FTers ...

Wow. I didn't even know you could do PS on the C128. I should dig mine out from storage. :)

There was an operating system (GEOS) that for some reason liked to print output to Apple PS printers. [$199 computer and a $4000 printer, not a lot of logic there.]

Anyway, I had a LJ with a PS cartridge when such things were cheap and played with a lot of PS just because I could.

Wow, I remember GEOS. I feel old.

Thanks Plus1!

Evening box. For everyone keeping score at home, apparently people in CA don't know how to drive in the rain.

So true. In my experience, this is especially true in the Bay area.

Baglady knows that she already has a list of banned countries. However they are not banned because they are nice, they are banned because the airports double a fort of some sort, AK-47s are available openly in the market place, conscription occurs in the middle of the night or there's been more than one "President for Life" this month.
