Depends on what their insurance carrier wants to do, probably.

If you live in Jersey, go to Harry and David's on the Waterfront, in Hoboken. Heck, even Morton's is better than Ruth's Chris.

Your parents and/or grandparents grew up in a time when under cooked meat could literally kill you. I don't hold eating well-done meat against older folks. They came from a different time.

"Rebuilding from the ground up?" Mr Pol Pot would like a word with you.

Idealists of all stripes always run into the same problem: human nature is just wrong, and must be changed. Some form of breaking eggs to make omelets always follows.

It took me till my 50s, but yeah - I'm happier now, too.

Don't forget the Ling, in Hackensack.

Didn't he have a hate-on for Jimmy Carter?

+1 Awesome book. My favorite part was how they tapped the Soviet's undersea telephone cables, by looking for the "Warning: Cable Crossing" signs on shore.

Interesting. Thank you.

My ex had an aunt and uncle who thought the US was a fascist police state, so they moved to Canada. Both they and their kids drove Ladas.

Seeing that guy roller blading makes me want to play my DEVO records.

In the 90s there was a Trabant parked near the UN on a regular basis. (Maybe still is - haven't checked) The East Germans made surprisingly excellent camera equipment (Exakta and Praktica), and so did the Soviets (The Kiev 60 and 88, the various screw-mount Leica clones).

Linda Tripp was charged for taping Monica Lewinsky in Maryland, a 2 party consent state (Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic… )

It finished 12th, IIRC, then the highest finish ever by an American car.

There's not much torque down low, IIRC.

If you're a North Jersey Bro, the Lambo dealership is right there in Hackensack. Buying a Ferrari requires humping up Saddle River Road to route 59 in Spring Valley.

Just for the record, nothing cuts LSD, Mescaline, or Shrooms like booze, in my experience. (Well, anti-depressants do, too, but you have to already have been on them).

Weird. I once did LSD while watching "Triumph of the Will." At first the pageantry was kind of cool, in a "Dark Side of the Force" kind of way. But then the speeches start, and I realized Fascism was just boring as the Evangelical Sunday School I was forced to attend as a child. I think this was a valuable lesson.

Number 1 is pretty much Alan Watt's take on things, too.
