All I know is that I now know who Laika is, and they will be getting my kids-in-tow dollars in the future. Paranorman was probably my kid's (age 8 and 6) favorite movie of the year. (Plus they are now White Stripes fans thanks to the end credits.)

Do we have a list of powerplants and specs yet?

These are all simply fantastic.

It's a very slow process, but the old racist farts WILL eventually die off. Yes, new ones will be birthed, but in slightly smaller percentages with each passing generation.

I'm just going to leave this here:

is it just me or almost 'zactly like a BMW 4 series?

You want to see the nation grind to halt, piss off the people who transport our commodities.

How useful are those water heater jackets? It's like a tea cozy for your hot water heater. Are they actually worth the small investment?

Good thing I live in a heavily wooded part of the country. Infinite fuel.

Nice. I tend to pack so economically, I could probably get away with that as well.

That's what I do too! Instead of standing in line for 20 minutes, I sit in a chair and read, peruse the internet, enjoy my coffee, etc. Then, when everyone is on board, I gather my belongings, walk right up to the counter, get scanned, walk unimpeded down the ramp and board.

I went from scrawny, 4-eyed, quiet bookworm to 2-eyed, quiet, somewhat buff bookworm. Life totally changed for the better.
