I won't be there until next summer/fall, but still, if you want to, go ahead.

Nothing is funnier than watching a cop with two DUIs and four DWAIs try to bust a bunch of dopers in a parked car. FAIL.

~grins~ Man, SCAD is an interesting place, that is for sure. I was driving near where my mom works, so I thought I would stop in and say hello. I circled the parking lot a few times, but there were no spots, since she works near a SCAD building. I called her to say that I couldn't get into there, but while I was talking I said "~sighs~ I love SCAD!" She thought I was being sarcastic. However I said I wasn't being sarcastic. My actual quote was...
"Mom. I am a heterosexual male. I love looking at the eye candy that goes to SCAD!"

One of the best things about a great college and a great town.

1. Putting shingles on a garage roof. On a hilltop. In single-digit temperatures.
2. The fact that both rubber boot soles and tarpaper become extremely slippery when cold.
3. Almost falling off of a garage roof between ten and fifteen times over the span of ten hours.
4. The fact that I might have to go back again to fix some stuff we f*@#ed up.5. Putting up siding. In the dark. In single-digit temperatures.
6. Having to haul ripped-up pieces of particleboard for three hours. In single-digit temperatures.
7. Having to make a bonfire in single-digit temperatures is good. What sucks is:
8. Inhaling toxic fumes.
9. Inhaling smoke.
10. Almost catching a friend's truck on fire.
11. Almost starting a brush fire.
12. Almost catching yourself on fire.13. Going home and finding out that other people have royally topped your s@~&ty day, which makes me feel like a total a!@&*%@ for posting this.
What a good thing to hear! I'm not the only dude that had to suffer this shit. Did someone by any change stall his pickup OVER a campfire?

~grins~ Well, not quite my home town. But close. I have lived here since the summer on 1990. It does FEEL like home at this point.

No, one of the guys burning all of the debris threw a giant cardboard box onto the fire. The resulting inferno of fluttering cardboard flame-bats started numerous small brushfires all over the tinder-dry grass near where we were working. One of the flaming cardboardy bits landed under the bed of the garage-owner's truck, and we had a devil of a time getting it put out. No overt damage, though.
We did, however, catch a tree on fire.

One of the joys of Savannah is that we have 4 universities in our town and another one (Georgia Southern) withing an hour or so drive of town. Plus we also have a beach too! ~WEG~ I love walking on the beach during summer!

Albuquerque getting its first amendment rights back.
What's that cop no warrant, then you can't come in.
My property, my tree, I don't have to climb down.
That's right I am questioning your judgment and you can't arrest me for it.
Ha Ha you can't arrest me for speaking in public anymore.
Now if only they extended those rights to the state of New York...

Not sure what he's talking about. I think he lives in a tree, though. A very outspoken, political tree.

Let me explain, no let sum up. Albuquerque has had an ordinance in effect since 1973 that makes not doing what a policeman tells you to do a crime, commonly called the 'contempt of cop' law. The ordinance was implemented to allow the police to arrest people making threats of violence against another person and people behaving in a way that would cause physical harm to oneself or others. The most notable abuses of the law are;
1) A man was arrested because he wouldn't let a policeman into his house without a warrant. the cop arrested him for not obeying him and now because the man committed a crime the cop had probable cause to search the mans house and didn't need to get a warrant.2) Two kids were climbing in a tree on their father’s property, a cop told them to climb down, they refused, and the cop arrested them.
3) A cop was called to house where a man was attacked and fight broke out, the cop not wanting to make an arrest told the parties involved to go home and calm down, the man who was attacked demanded the cop arrest the one who attacked him so the cop arrested the man for telling the cop what to do (his job)
4) A cop pulled over a speeder and while he was writing him a ticket he asked that the passenger to stop smoking, she refused and the cop arrested her.
5) a political worker was in the plaza of downtown Albuquerque, a public area, talking to a group about his candidates view point, a cop told him he need to move on the man refused stated he has a 1st amendment right to be there, the cop arrested him.
70% of the cases where dismissed by the courts as violations the defendants civil rights and another 10% of the cases were never followed through with and dropped by the policeman who made the arrest. Over 200 civil suits were brought against the city and police department because of the law. The ordinance was repelled today.

I wonder if Black Flag ever played in Albuquerque...

The new (I saw new, but it's a few years now, still new to us) car got totaled coming home from my wifes parent's place (Thanksgiving) this weekend. She wanted to beat the ice storm home and spend my only night off this week together, but it didn't quite work out. That in and of itself isn't good news, but both she and my son came out just fine, and that's the car with full coverage, so whatever.

Hey Mike, glad to hear that everyone is ok. That’s the most important thing. That the car is covered is a bonus.
