I dunno, but it's a brilliant gesture! :headbang:

"Wishing you (ACLU) the MERRIEST of CHRISTMASES"....that would ROCK.

Oh well, it's early.
I'd been under a rock for a few days and hadn't seen the extent of the flooding and devastation they are experiencing in Washington and surrounding areas. I surely hope T, Zep and crew and Leon, Marn and Scoot escaped all of this. Post soon and let us know, guys!

Sorry I seemed so clueless and unfeeling yesterday.

BTW, we have a blizzard now. It is a 7 minute ride to work and it took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to get here. I still love the snow.

Yeah! Accidents everywhere. All going 10 MPH, smiling, using their cell phone. Again I wanted to fire in all directions.

BBO, looks like now we need updates from you. Gotta make sure all our people are okay!

Maybe we should set up some way of notifying each other if anything does happen to any of us here? Hmmmm....

Zep is back and safe. He got out when there was a short window of open road. :D

Somehow I remain skeptical of the skeptics. Good read, though.

Hey, Gore got the Nobel PP. That's kinda cool.

It would be fun if he'd put up two peace signs and say, "I am not a tree."

See him sitting there... nodding.... like the cock-of-the-walk?

If I had a rotten tomato I'd have thrown it. :razz:

IMHO, he's much more renowned for inventing the internet. :roll:

Yeah, sure, let's just throw money at the problem. That's worked for poverty, homeslessness, poor education, and all the other problems we've thrown money at before.
