On to the metalworking topic, I wonder if metalworkers could come up with
good fuel efficient transportation. Maybe take an old truck, fit a

the truck...

Seems like if metalworking skills and homebuilt aircraft skills were
combined the people could make an automobile better than the automakers are
providing for us.

"Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have
noticed a large number of people implying with bad jokes that Cajuns
aren't smart.

I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment.

Anybody that would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone

and fill it with Democrats is a damn genius"

Just missed out on a Mercedes "smart" for $750 that had all the engine
controls toasted - would have made a dandy electric runabout
