  1. I don't understand why that doesn't get Youth Services International the statewide boot.
  2. I find it curious that a store has a 30% off sale and can't stay in business. The closing sale starts with a 10% off sale and things just fly off the shelves.
  3. I hear there was a teacher killed yesterday by a student in Massachusetts, and, three kids were injured in California when a kid figured out how to fire an AR-15 that was locked on the side of a police motorcycle that was left unattended. A lot of people don't want to talk about such incidents because it shines a light on irresponsible gun owners. A story on the news last week discussed whether those caught with a gun at the airport should spend a night in jail. Not only should they spend a night in jail they should also lose their right to carry. Taking a gun to the airport, or anywhere
  4. There's typically a yield sign to anyone approaching the round-a-bout that requires you to yield to those already in the round-a-bout. As you approach and you see a car coming, you stop and wait for them to pass, you can't have the cars in the circle stopping as it would bring the whole thing to a standstill.
  5. Someone'll hack the system and you'll have computer geeks in Beijing China driving cars in Hiram. You'll be headed to buy American made stuff and the car'll suddenly turn into Christine, the doors'll lock and you'll end up at Walmart where everything is Chinese made.
  6. And that money being spent on security measures only attempts to secures the building. The bus drop-off areas, car rider lanes, playgrounds, sports fields and any other area where large groups of people gather won't be protected by an ID check point or security portico. I guess walls and a secured entrance, complete with guard towers, is next.
  7. Yeah, landowners only! Who cares what those that live in apartments think, or elderly that live in retirement facilities, or renters in general, or military personnel that live on base or overseas.....
  8. We've done this in past years. I don't know which are the cuter kids, the little ones or the senior ones...
  9. I'm curious about those that bought homes in these partially undeveloped and unfinished subdivisions. Have they brought litigation against the builders that didn't finish their streets? Or left unsafe conditions in their neighborhoods (overgrown lots, construction debris, sinkholes, etc.)? Or didn't fulfill their obligations that were in effect at the time the homes were purchased? Seems that this is a fight between the homeowners and the builder, not something the county should be billed for.
  10. I hit my yard at the old house with Diazinon (now banned for residential use) and the street out front became covered with splotches as these grubs tried to get away from the poison and were run over by cars. You can get Triazinon but it won't scare anything but $15 out of your pocket.
  11. Did you see the article on the front page of the AJC this past Sunday? It concerned local politicians and where their donations come from. During the primary campaign contributions were typically local. However during the general election, of the 11 profiled, contributions were 67% to 97% from outside the district they were running to represent. Senator Belfour from Snellville collected more money from St. Louis than from in his own district. Senate Minority Leader Henson of Tucker said "elected officials don't like to bother voters with appeals for money when they can get those donations-in l
  12. 12 year olds dating?? Who lets a 12 year old date?
  13. Looks like it was a bobbed Sportster(?), I'm guessing it didn't have much in the way of tail lights/turn signals. Manufacturers don't put enough light on the back of bikes and then people want to go and take off what's there. I've converted the rear turn signals/running lights into full brake-turn signals on all my Yamahas and Harleys and hand signal to boot while in traffic. Glad he wasn't seriously hurt.
  14. Because there is physical evidence, a body, finger prints, evidence of a break in, a suspect is found with stolen property, a motive, and on and on. If someone points a finger and says "he did it" the police don't just make an arrest. While eyewitnesses are important, they can easily be found flawed by a defense attorney.
  15. And played with Jeep, that thing that would appear then disappear....If you look at the history of many of the animation studios, they were all: 'ssspiffff'! '..'eere.' "Ok-Ok-Ok, what about a talking, a talking, a talking smarta$$ rabbit that does shanagains set to German opera?"
  16. A Gary Wright joke: I'm wearing two different color socks but I don't match by color, I match by thickness.
  17. Ya got me wondering, an suv broke down in front of my house a few weeks ago, a guy taking his kids to school. He said it just sputtered and stopped running. The next day he show up with two mechanic friends and they pulled the fuel line and pumped a coke bottle full of its content which was mostly water. They let the fuel pump push around 5 gallons of fluid out of that thing before it would run. The guy said he put gas in it from a can which he had filled just a week before, said maybe his kids were messing around with it. Now I'm thinking he knows you (or at least where you store your fuel).
  18. Sounds like the problem is not the crook (a crook is a crook and they steal) but enforcement of the law, which is often the case. However if you want to see the law in action, shoot someone. Under the law a crime does not equal a crime, stealing a gallon of gas isn't an equivalent crime to someone having been shot. Sin under the law is graduated.
  19. It was on TV so it was all probably made up. Who says they can't do it that way?
  20. Are you suggesting that the pork chops and applesauce didn't involve something that once wallowed in mud but was more like something that once had it's own house in the backyard?
  21. And why did Bluto become Brutus? He was just a sailor on shore leave trying to find him a little sup'm-sup'm and Popeye kept eating spinach and kicking his butt. Then they go and change his name on him.
  22. But what ever happened to Chuck on Happy Days? I think Marion and Howard bumped him off for the insurance money, buried him in the basement. And what about the Dick replacement on Bewitched? Things to ponder....
  23. Ever notice how many of the shows from the "good ole days" featured non-typical families? Bonanza, the Partridge Family, the Brady Bunch, Andy Griffith, of course this one, My Three Sons, the Courtship of Eddies Father, etc. If you wanted to see a typical family, defined as an always married couple and their kids, you were almost limited to The Munsters and the Addams Family. (Of course both of them had live-in relatives, Grandpa on the former and Uncle Fester in the latter.) Maybe Lost in Space....Well they had that creepy Dr. Smith. What was he a doctor of anyway?
