I guess so. Time for me to interject my own useless bit of information: I almost burned down my apartment by shorting out an 80V 20A power supply in my kitchen! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I have a family acquaintance that knows this guy that bought gasoline for his car this one time in the 80s and he said that they already ran out of gas! Here's how it's going to work. 1.) We will, as fatass, lazy, spoiled Americans (capitol A), refuse to make real progress towards alternate fuels (because our SUV is not awesome enough driving mom and her one kid if it's not guzzling gas and roaring like a semi). 2.) We will try to keep gas prices low enough that nobody is economically motivated to make the change. 3.) Decline will occur, and we will be hurting. d.) We will be forced to make changes over a short period of time; because, rather than thinking things through we barely see past the end of our nose. I will win because I am going to power my car and things with love. or stealing. it's hard to tell. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

From the Harvard commencement speech: "But dere is other fings - look at de state of family today - girls is havin sex at younger ages, dere's an increase in absentee fathers and more and more people is havin affairs - but we shouldn't just concentrate on de good fings.Believing in something is easy. Actually doing something is harder. Actions speak louder dan birds. " .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Ron, Did you ever buy a TREX? I just bought the CCPM version, and putting it together. I think it could have gone together in about 4ish hours, if I hadn't immediately dropped about ALL of the hardware (which I neatly separated into muffin tins) into the carpet. So with that, any suggestions? I just got the regular 3200kV motor and esc that comes with the kit. How does everybody like it? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Out of curiosity, what makes a DZ "restricted" airspace? Who has more right to be there? Skydivers? GA? Either? In the battle for airspace, skydiving will never win over GA. I'm not saying that we can't both respect and look out for each other. But I have a feeling that a lot of jumpers feel that this is their airspace. edited to add: I see a lot of haze there. I have no intention of turning this into a spotting thread, but do you think reduced visability (on your part) had something to do with this near incident? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

If we can keep out all the short lil' fellers and them folks from canadia, i might agree with the last part. edited to add: I have never been a regular smoker, and probably haven't even touched a cigarette in over 3 years. I don't think it is unreasonable for someone to smoke in an adult (or open air) establishment. I simply feel that it is foolish to remove the choice from the people (business owners). Probably enough running around in circles though, ehhh? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

You persist in making emotional pleas, and yet nobody is interested. The "offending" states that allow smoking in bars aren't telling you to "fuck off or die" or deal with "cancer sticks" etc. They are telling you to resolve the issue with YOUR money. DDT is a largely banned substance. Cigarettes (while regulated) are a legal adult product for adult consumption. With regard to your beach comment, where do the byproducts go. Assuming the smoker isn't directly upwind of you, how does that effect you? If someone sprays DDT (non water soluble) and it sticks around 2-years? How does that effect you. With regard to your two heartwrenching questions, I will provide more specific answers as soon as I get to work. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

To continue with the questions. Why CAN'T you avoid a "smoking allowed" establishment. Is it really too complex and painful to go buy cheap tequila somewhere else. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Is Viagra solely a hemodilator? Or is there other stuff in there to... you know... do that. oh god. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Do you HAVE to be in that bar? No, you don't. Conversly, if I want to go to the pub and have a couple of beers, or even smoke a cigarette, (though I imagine this would be a rare occurance), I shouldn't have to listen to a couple of people get the sniffles about it. (As food for reference, I am imagining the Zoolander little bitch cough) I said it before and I'll say it again: Bars are locations for adults to go and consume adult products. That doesn't mean that ALL bars have to have ALL products, it simply means that the gub'ment shouldn't be eliminating the option. Promote change with your money. If enough people don't like it, that bar will either: a.) close down because of reduced business. b.) see the "error of their ways" and option to remove smoking from their establishment. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I would tend to both agree (a little) and disagree with that statement. Up to a point, I believe it is the emloyer's responsibility to provide a safe work environment for their employee's. Beyond that, it is a matter of risk assessment (on the employee's part) to be involved with a certain job. They don't HAVE to work in that environment, but they may say, "I don't mind the smoke and I like the job, to me the benefits outway the costs". Perhaps something along the lines of a skydiving arguement: DZO's should provide safety lines to all instructors, so that if there's an accident, we can "reel 'em back in"! It's a dangerous job, why should those skydiving instructors have that risk applied to their job? What is the difference? I think a similar comparison might be miners (coal in particular). Their exposure to a variety of nasty's (even diffused through OSHA approved devices) is a hazzard that they accept while doing their job. (BTW, I am not sure if there is a link between coal and hard labor/reduced income/people not having other job options, so I picked skydiving instructors as a comparison, because I think we can agree skydivers aren't getting rich off of instructing. ) .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

It's a pretty bitch move. Lead with your money. Don't feel like "smelling like an ashtray"? Then go to a bar that has minimal to no smoking. (Trust me, this is not a hard thing to find in Denver.) Cigarettes are still a legal drug available in the US. It is rediculous that bar owners cannot have the choice to either permit or deny smoking in their own establishment. As for all you folks that will come to me with emotional pleas, I don't need to hear them. I am aware that smoking has noticable long and short term health benefits. I am aware that you feel you should be able to go ANYWHERE without being around cigarette smoke. I am also aware that you don't HAVE to go into THAT SPECIFIC BAR. Once again, I'm not a smoker, but I absolutely support their right to smoke in a BAR (read: a place where adults go to consume adult products). .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

You know, this is something I can agree with. It would be swell to have everybody who wants to be here, could do so legally. Yet the arguement of this thread wasn't about about people legally entering the US. It was about someone making a tasteless joke, and then taking offense that others would be offended by such a "harmless thing". I can agree with your request, but I would say that a majority of the other posters likely look down on immigrants, legal or not. (Even though I'm sure that they will jump on here to spout that they don't). As for you, Walt, don't forget the part where I saved a bunch of babies from a burning ship. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Walt, 1.) Weren't there a series of posts where you flat out called yourself a racist? b.) I was just in Houston for a job interview, as well as helping a friend move to southside. Further, I'm not a native Colorado-an, so don't assume that all I know is skiing and hiking with a bunch of hippie white folk. 3.) I have a problem with a country formed primarily of immigrants who now make it increasingly hard to become a legal citizen. "Remembering your roots" and all that. It's fine for you to tell jokes, irregardless of whether they mirror your reality or not. Just don't expect everybody to thumb their nose at the people you despise. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Honestly I think it's a pretty white trash view of things. (Insert joke about how I expect no less from texas) Seriously though, it sounds like a bunch of buttfucking hillbillies who don't recognize their proximity to these "illegal aliens" whom they feel have so deprived them of all their earnings. Continue to joke about it though, I have all sorts of mullet/3 out of 4 teeth jokes. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

I think the real question is: Will these patches be handed out in every trailer park community, or will you have have to show up to some office and flash your mullet and Rep. voter registration to get one? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Politely, I understand that there can be confusion and miscommunications between a DZ and tower controlled space, but I myself am confused as to how the rising of a tower equates to the death of a DZ. Anybody care to elaborate on why co-existance is out of the question? Thanks! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

Did you say hi first? Did he recognize you? Did he give you the stink eye and bare his teeth when he saw you? Were you guys supposed to be best friends after you bought the suit? I guess I am a little confused about it. It does seem standoffish, but in my mind I tend to imagine there could be extenuating circumstances or other contributing factors .
