    I already checked- no good. Buuuuut if I went to a Mailboxes ETC. which has an actual STREET address that might work. I might try that.

    Yep! I am now in the ULTIMATE bachelor pad. My new place oozes the masculine charm that drives women crazy. I'm beating them off with a stick as we speak.

    He was never right to begin with- what's the problem? Bartender! Another round of drinks here! Oh, I guess that's me. Yippee!

    I think I just caught the tail end. I spent so much time painting and primping and cleaning and hauling logs and twigs and yadda yadda yadda. The guy next door had his on the market in Feb and was gone in just over a month from sign to moving truck. I listed mine Memorial day weekend. Note to self- next time list first and keep fixing up while it's listed.

    How the hell do you put up with all the BS? Geez- It was three hours before closing on the second contract and I get an email from the closing attorney that the bank has pulled out. Found out the buyer didn't have a green card. Suddenly I found myself at Taco Mac. How did I get here?

    I was on the positive this time. I rang the register while it was still in the black. [Cramer voice] Hogs get slaughtered! [/Cramer voice]

    You have no idea. This is just the first one. ARRGH!

    Hey National City! F#$% $%$! Whad'ya mean I need to have an account with you to pay my HELOC online? I have an account- my damn HELOC that I owe you $25k on! That doesn't count??? Well, how about a phone payment? $12!!!??? Geez, is the lube extra?

    Well, that was my first stop after leaving and they didn't handcuff me on the spot. But you never know- could've been a front for a 419 operation. Maybe that's why they asked me to wire the balance to their sick aunt for her toenail transplant. Whee!

    It was time.

    Finally! After 5 months, two contracts, four termite letters, six closing dates, multiple airline flight changes to make said closings, I don't know how many banks, and enough faxes to circle the globe I have finally closed! So, we are partying hard here at the Roswell Courtyard by Marriott! Hey buddy- tilt me another styrofoam coffee cup of wine from the box. Why yes I would like another piece of Publix sushi from the snack tray. Would you mind checking if the OJ on the windowsill is cold yet? Those screwdrivers will just hit the spot. I just made oodles of money- hell I could quit my job for, like, a whole three months! Whoo hoo! I had the silliest conversation with the insurance company after closing today. I had her giggling like crazy at the end. What do you mean I need an actual address to insure a car? Can I use slot #102 at the Hartsfield Parking Spot as an address? No? Well, how about a winnie parked in a field off 278? No? Hey turn up the 19" color TV! Whee!

    We had Andre from Outkast come out one time and do tandem. Gary the TI was talking to him in the plane. 'So what do you do for a living?' 'I'm a singer.' 'Oh. Does that pay pretty well?' Personally I wouldn't have known him if I tripped over him. He came back the next day and just hung out for a bit. He probably appreciated that chance, however short liver (heh-heh. typo'd but I like it in context so it stays), to be treated like an average schmo. If Tiger keeps it low key, he'll probably have no problem getting in an average quiet day at the DZ. Bandit demo into Augusta, anyone?

    Did he bring his beer?

    How's that saying go? The two happiest days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it?

    Google Are they worth it? Good question for an attorney.

    When I jumper at Ailetchen (sp?) in Germany it was just like that setup. The planes would taxi out of the t-hangars, turn ONTO the paved road and travel down a few hundred roads to the strip.

    You might want to declare the rig upfront in case there's an issue later. Take a picture or something like that. Another good thing about Renter's/Homeowners is you can add a liability umbrella for another $8-10 a month. That would certainly make some shyster lawyer really happy some day.

    Who's that creepy looking dude in the window?

    I love creative paint jobs on airliners. If you're going to fly a big plane on a long, boring route with a bunch of whiny passengers do it with some style!

    Heh-heh. I've seen more than one 'professional' packer refuse new gear. The $/sweat ratio decreases rapidly with the inverse of the number of jumps on the rig. Yeah, new gear packing sucks. But it's NEW and it's YOURS! Keep at it- you'll get better at it. It's all about controling the canopy and not muscling it.

    Any computer can be hacked. Likewise, any paper ballot can be substituted for a false one. The big question is how hard is it to hack or substitute? From the video it looks relatively easy to install the malicious software with just swapping out an of the shelf memory card. It's a question of how many machines do you need to compromise and how many votes can you subvert without the district becoming a statistical anomaly that draws scrutiny? Likewise, you can substitute paper ballots. But to swap out 100,000 paper ballots for the false ballots, even printed on relatively thick copy paper (paper ballots I've seen were all card stock- much thicker) with a caliper of .1 mm would be a stack of ballots 32.X feet high. Personally, I like paper. Big, bulky, and heavy but harder to make a significant dent in the results without a major widespread conspiracy involved. Dang, that second martini must be kicking in because I'm in SC! Run!

    Dude: Perhaps a careful review of your credit reports is in order. You crusty olde fart you!
