LOL. This newsgroup is loaded with them! Perhaps there is not a person anywhere that has not done something really dumb or stupid.

I guess my "charity" of this sort (or lack thereof) shows up in the reviews I write at Amazon.com.

Yea, that would take the life out of most NORMAL parents. It generally leads to divorce and two sad people who never recover.

I agree with the premise of your rant, but disagree on the result of the tech.

Quick story. Went to a place to get registered as a recognized flyer, so the shoes can stay on, the computer stays in the bag along with the liquids, and no backscatter x-ray. You all ought to check it out if you fly often. Anyway, brother in law, sister me and my better half in the mini van, and we stopped to eat on the way home. Came out, and B-I-L says, hey you have a flat tire. Mostly flat, prolly about 15 pounds left in it. Luck had it that there was a tire shop across the street so we went and got it fixed. The problem?

A twig. No crap. About 3/16" in diameter, went right through about a half depth tread, steel belted radial. WTF?

It was lucky that it was noticed. Probably would have been noticed after we got up to speed. We would not have been in front of a tire shop, then. The tire might have been ruined from driving on it. A tire pressure monitor would have caught the problem as soon as it went through, or at least before we put ourselves in any danger on the road

Probably more by Ford to keep people from driving expeditions suv's around with under inflated tires, that cause them to roll over. Remember that?

I think Obama was good in getting Osama Bin Laden. I think he has been useless otherwise, oh let me correct that. He has been very harmful to the future of the country.

He said he would protect American Jobs, but many of the things he has done have been the opposite.

His foreign policy is terrible. His National policy is terrible. His Economic policies seem to be non-existent. I won't discuss Obomination Healtcare.. (get it).

Change? Change for the people who have been on welfare all their lives maybe.

Did any of the Financial disaster people get brought to trial? Did Corrzine pay for an obvious theft of customer funds? No he got a walk.

It's more of the same BULLSHIT.

But unfortunately we are a 2 party system. If only Americans realized that it's not woring. But people are idiots. I hope people start voting independent.. they have no cohesive party... they wil vote their minds, not the party line... So what if nothing gets done.. thats better than what the current idiots are doing in congress.

I think '4 season' depends on where you live and the kind of seasons you go through every year.

I really appreciate this.

It is going to be worth a lot when the wife says, "You want to spend how much for that saw?"

Now all I need is something similar so she will encourage me to purchase an American Beauty lathe.

Probably so. Down down here in the south our four seasons are wet and dry and that comes multiple times during the year. ;~)

I recall many years ago wondering to my self why people swapped out their tires twice a year. I guess our tires should could also be called "all year" tires.

[Leon]

For certain it is a government requirement now.

BUT the SUV's were rolling over because of tire failure caused by under inflation vs simply being under inflated. IIRC this was a big problem in the Middle East. After a day if playing around in the sand dunes with under inflated tires the tires were failing, on the way home, from under inflation at highway speeds.

According to the Nokian literature, they were designed to be used in North America year round. They have a true snow rating and also a top speed of 147 mph rating.

They were excellent in the snow this past winter and they are comfortable handling on dry roads. I've only had them to about 115 mph, but they are smooth and solid riding and I've had no slips in the rain.

I only have 5000 miles on them so far, but based on what I've experienced, I'd buy them again.

[krw]

Sure, when the government mandates that everyone get one...

[Larry Blanchard]

And you think a guy who doesn't even know how many cars he owns would have been a better choice?

Oh well, the Koch brothers will just buy the next one.

If you have not noticed, soccer mom's probably invented the idea and have been instrumental in giving equal awarding to those that simply showed up as those that dared to be different and actually won.

It's throughout the public school system. It wasn't started by soccermoms.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Hate to say it, but my generation was a big part of it. During Vietnam you could avoid the draft by going to school to become a teacher. These liberal draft dodging teachers started warping the minds of children and some rose to become school administrators

[krw]

I'm the same generation but reality is a good teacher. Too bad it's not a requirement to become a teacher.
