Even when that car was young, it was never a reliable vehicle for long roadtrips that involved climbing any mountains. Spent memorable days in Willits (Skunk motel) and Dunsmuir (best tasting water in the world) as a child waiting for VW parts and repairs, while on the way to Washington for summer vacations.
Easy to make a reliable van.
Just put a porsche or any other engine in one.
I hear subaru is good.
And there are others.

Exactly. I hear that there are brine shrimp/sea monkeys there. I get a little tired of the old "nothing lives out there" thing, because it's not true.

I bet, it would amaze us all, to see what really "lives" in places......deep crust, oceans, playas, etc........
not only biology as we (assume) we know it, but, "atypical" life, that, we've just not recognized, yet.......

The irony in that being that if we lived forever we'd no longer have the kind of world in which extremophiles evolve.ygmir wrote:theCryptofishist wrote:ygmir wrote:theCryptofishist wrote:Exactly.

[quote="littleflower"]i was thinking of dressing up as bad debt for halloween ... but the wall street lemmings idea is excellent...! instead of a cliff, they could look for a skyscraper to jump out of.[/quote]Irony is the essence of life. I love it and try to embrace it. Sad to say the lemming effect is a quote we can apply to human behavior...not the little critters themselves. Apparently its an urban myth. Animals are not stupid, just brave. Check it out. Google it, wikipedia it...go and watch a colony full of lemmings for a season. Its not the blind leading the blind. They migrate in mass quantities. And some die in the process. Give the lemmings the credit they deserve. "nuff said.
Oh yeah...sorry to say...to any san franciscan out there....the coit tower is not a replica of a fire nozzle. I know...I know... But it looks like one! I know!
Viagra started out as a heart medication (an arterial disease) . By accident, it increased venous flow to the penis. Go figure.

The population cycle of the lemmings is, I recall, a four- or five-year one, so "a season" may not be long enough.malikaziani wrote:go and watch a colony full of lemmings for a season.

And the walls fell.
This is the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall.
And the start of the velvet revolutions.
This song was the soundtrack for those events.

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.

When you call the number, "they" identify themselves as the Ca attorney general. Regardless of the current situation there has been a program by the A.G to keep telemarketers from calling people who want to be off the lists.
