Probably right...going down to a not so balmy 28 degrees tonight! Oh
well. At least saturday was a great day though. I'll take what I can
get. Especially in January!

Looks pretty close to me!

*Just* got a call from my nephew. He's been wanting my mustang
since..well...when I got it and he was a little kid! He's 19 now. I
said no way (for various reasons posted to this newsgroup over the past
about teenagers and these cars etc). He just got his OWN mustang. 1992
green and silver? (his description) Bone stock. No details as he wanted
to tell me and get off the phone with me ASAP. I said "congratulations"
and "PLEASE listen. Be very careful".....ugh

Also, don't forget the medias tendency to blow things out of proportion
and scare the living crap out of people. Like yesterday in NYC and "the
gaseous smell" that was all over the news. I must have gotten 15-20
IM's from people around the country sitting in my office literally
across the street from the WTC site. "Are you ok?" "What's going on
there?" etc etc....look out the window and....NADA..ZILCH...normal
traffic, rainy day...**nothing** out of the ordinary. But people from
California, Florida sending IM's e-mails etc...the missus calls...what
a joke. The media should be hung sometimes the way it plays up stories.
Global warming is the filler scare story when they don't have a maniac
being chased in California, an Avalanche in Colorado or a stinky subway
in NYC (I mean it smells ANYWAY...now we NY're are connoisseurs of BAD
smells? Gimme a break!) We may have a free media but MAN does it
suck.....runaway brides...Brittny's got no panties...who gives a crap?
Nevermind. Apparently millions do cause that's what sells. Fear and
sex....

Didn't mean to trivialize global warming; just thought of the magnetic
thing. As long as we're on the topic however, I think mankind is at the
point where we all need something as powerful as a threat to the planet
(i.e., global warming) so we all get our act together as a race. Only
in that sense would global warming be good. The longer we wait, the
more screwed up the planet will become until mankind itself becomes
affected. 2 cents, of course.

Yeah, all the nukes are pretty powerful. But they're nothing compared
to nature IMO. Not to get into religion and all, but I think it's
presumptuous to assume that mankind can destroy the planet. We will
destroy ourselves long before we come close to destroying the planet.

Sounds to me like a lost cause. Let's open up the pipes and rock and
roll...
