I'm wondering if maybe I mis-interpreted what Anton meant by 'theft vs vehicular accident'?

You think if people were allowed to legally get messed up on any mild altering substance they wanted there would be less innocent lives lost in vehicular accidents?

Hypothetically, if something was up with this, it wouldn't be the parties doing it - it would be the people who could affect the prices, doing so to help the party they prefer.

It's insured as part of my personal property insurance - I've got a flat value of insurance that supposedly covers everything inside my home.

« on: November 28, 2006, 12:33 PM »The one interesting thing that I've noticed is that gas prices have gone up a little bit since the election. Hmmm, coincidence?
They've gone up - but the price of a barrel of oil hit a 5 year low.
I'm not going to say that oil execs were trying to help incumbents - but it certainly is one more circumstantial piece of evidence pointing to price-fixing.

Driver - endzone.

1st quarter half.
Snow.
2 4 3 INT's, and a fumble, for Hasselbeck - and a TD for Ahman Green.
It's comical at this point.

I sure hope so... I was starting to build up a nice grip on 1st, and then all the sudden Jamie's team piles up points by the dozen...

I really didn't have that same rabid passion to beat you like I did in Week 1, but I had to do it anyhow at the risk of that cute little "head to head" scorecard of your's resurfacing.
Yeah, no doubt the Fantasy Sports rivalry wasn't as fun this time through. Hopefully next year things will be more competative!

« on: November 22, 2006, 04:54 PM »
It's the Duomo overshadowing Florence - taken from the top of said Duomo.
You can see it popping up behind some other buildings in one of the other shots.
As for Rome, I absolutely love Italy - it's a sort of a second home. I lived there for 2 months and I wish it had been 2 decades.
I hope to buy property there someday.
I have lots more pictures from my first trip there (the 2 month one) that I'll scan someday and share - back then I was shooting with real film and developing everything myself.
