@BlueRSX: If we could harness those strikes, FL would be the energy capital of the US.

@Ash78, now featuring the Tyke Hoon: No, the government knows more than you, and you need to stay safe little Johnny.

I would never buy a car without A/C. Its a necessity in my climate.

@irishman72: That's because we were flush with cash. The 50's and 60's america had a large trade surplus with the rest of the world. Today we think a little more realistically as a country.

@subframespacer: Its not just run-off. The Mississippi used to have flood plains with vegetation that would absorb large amounts of nutrients. With cities and flood-control dykes their is no where for even natural amounts of run-off to be absorbed. Here in FL we are now getting filter marshes so that the Ag/Res runoff…

Lifestyle Truck? They already own Ridgelines.

@pidgeonsplatz: I got a 'Hot Carl' from one of those ads.

I'd rather ride in the cargo hold.

@redman042: The way your eyes focus is different from looking at a 2D image like a picture or movie. If you look at a darker or lighter area your eyes and brain almost instantly compensate for the difference. As for a photo your eyes cannot change the exposure or focus based on where your looking. This is a useful…

@SQLGuru: Population demographics plays an even larger role. An area like Seattle metro has a higher educated, wealthier, engineering based population than the lower educated service based demographic than the South Florida metro area. Seattle has the weakest, and I use the term loosely, ghettos.

This makes me want to cheese

@demographic: 100 people on LSD, that sounds like a party. Where do I sign up?

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: I was thinking Pussy Galore.

@Mecharine: The problem with trains (public transit in general) is that you have to sit next to people you don't like. Sick people spreading germs, scummy people trying to rob you. In the utopia trains are great, in reality they suck. I couldn't agree more with them being more efficient though.

@Mayo07J: Especially in the Diesels

@87CapriceEstate thinks Ebay license plates are pricey: Sounds like a Saab story to me.

@GrandmaSideways: 'Lady owned' is only a positive if a pair of their panties are included.

@SpdstrME07001: Sorry but some of your ideals of what constitutes evidence of hoonage are flawed. If you have A/T's or you travel on even a short section of dirt road regularly, the tires will pick up rocks and throw them on the fenders, driven or idler wheels. Tire condition vs date of manufacture is also not a very…

@thunder; powered by M30B35: I know a bag of crap exists. MM's credibility, I'm not so sure.

Officially I only get 10 days paid vacay, but I get a Christmas bonus that is usually about a weeks pay (sometimes a little more sometimes a little less) and most of the company takes the week between Christmas and New Years off.
