Let me ask you this, do you appreciate it when other drivers signal you with their headlights that a speed trap is up ahead? Do you do the same for others? Booster: The answer is right in front of you, but you don't want to see it. The reason cops set up speed traps is because too large a percentag...

I was profoundly disturbed to learn that the two domes were not exactly the same size. That was part of the design criteria, and made for great fun. I was only in on the planning a bit, was not able to enjoy the construction phase. The idea is that no pair of boobs are actually the same size, so th...

LCN: Good luck on the house, I have been working on mine for years, and I still have a long way to go. It seems like projects keep popping up faster than I can finish them. Guess it does keep me out of trouble though. I am considering the playa at some point, when depends on how things fall together...

LCN and Karine: It has been a while since I saw you on the board, don't know if our paths just did not cross, or you been gone for a while but welcome back. It has probably been a while since you experienced a week like this in the bar, it gets rreeaall qquuiieett in here. I know you were not able t...

That is very true.MozyBonz wrote: You know you want to see Le Chats contraption in person.
Just another reason why this year was not a good year. We will see what happens.
I need to get up early tomorrow to help a friend out. Have a good evening, I will probably catch you in the bar some evening this week.

I understand the economy thing, up here it is pretty bleak for a lot of people, I would probably camp on the outskirts somewhere, so I could relax away from people for a while if need be as I am not good in crowds for long periods. You are one of several I have met on this board that I would really ...

I will miss it but I'm fine with not going. we really need to get you out there my friend... I have been thi...

Mozy: That is cool, but it is not exactly a live feed. It comes in when the page is loaded, and then is frozen unless you refresh the page. That in itself is pretty neat as I was watching the live cam, and I would be looking at a picture trying to decide what I was looking at, and the auto update wo...

Power does ugly things to people. These LEOs are being pulled in from all over the country. Normally they are in a location where they also would be recognized. They tolerate rude people all year while they try to do their job. Where better to release suppressed feelings and take advantage of their ...

I know burners complain about all the LEOs around, but I can understand why the event would pull them in. I really feel for the locals, while this does help their economy, I would imagine there are more than a handful that do not like all the extra attention that LEO gives to the entire area. I can ...

So you are going to the burn, and can't understand why those still on eplaya rather than in transit are a bit snarky?? How many hints would it take?? You got enough good advice to address your problem. I would suggest leaving it at that rather question how nasty other replies can be. In your own way...

Thanks much, hope your job allows you to enjoy one too. Being that close, you probably get to see all phases of the event, and hopefully enjoy most. This is one of those things where I can't decide to jump in feet first, I suspect I would enjoy the pre- and post- activities more than the event itsel...

The world is full of people that believe that addressing their pet peeve is far more important than addressing any other issue. Yes, cluster bombs are a problem, but so are IEDs, over population, climate change, obesity, STDs, cancer, famine, .............. It is not a good idea to jump on the board...

Thanks much for the link Artemis. I will check it out during the week and see what I discover. Mozy, are you sticking around the bar for the week. It is going to be awful quiet in here. That fits with my personality pretty good, but I always thought you were one that preferred to be in the middle. H...

The way this last year has gone, I suspect a lot of people will be there in mind only. I had noticed that the chatter had dropped a bit from past years, and many of the "regulars" don't seem to be around as much either. I am just curious if the new web cam will show any light from BRC. It would be n...

This bar is usually so crowded, I just sit over in the corner out of the way and enjoy the crowd.. Then, all of the sudden, it is nearly empty. It sounds like you are still trying to go, so I wish you luck. As for me, well somebody has to watch the place make sure any remodels are completed before t...

It looks like the bar is pretty well cleared out. I knew I should not have eaten that chili and eggs for breakfast. I hope you all have a save journey, I will keep an eye on the bar while you are gone. I am getting used to quiet this time of year, but it still seems strange. Anyone out there drinkin...

I would think that wind turbines were a better choice than solar. The wind can blow 24/7, sometimes very hard, and by generating power at night you would reduce your storage requirements. I have never looked at the data regarding consistent wind speed at BRC, a little homework might provide some int...
