Some very interesting metal thefts are going on in Californiastan.
Illegal immigrants are suspected for a slightly unusual reason. ^_^

At least they're not being melted down. That gives some hope that the
original owners can get their tubas back. I really despise the thieves
that
take historically valuable stuff and melt it down for a fraction of its
worth. Too bad you can't melt down and recycle criminal personalities.
IIRC, there was an episiode of Babylon Five where they did just that -
but
vigilantes hunted down and killed the "erased" guy anyway.

I finally, actually got to watch all the episodes online a few years
ago. Now, I rarely watch broadcast or cable/sat TV because of my high
speed data connection and rather large monitors. I may have a half dozen
computers running at the same time here engaged in simple things like
taking over the world but usually I'm watching movies or TV shows on MY
schedule. I can't recall the last time I went to a movie theater because
I'm so used to watching movies online, even the newest ones.

With HDTV's getting cheaper and cheaper, there's not much point to suffering
behind someone with a beehive or afro that blocks the lower part of the
screen. No rancid popcorn smell, no captive advertising, no popcorn priced
as if it were silver-plated. The only reason people go to the movies is
because they're dating. That leaves me out. I just built a DVR with a 2TB
internal and 2TB external drive. I used to have to record to my Panasonic
DVR and then offload all the video to DVD's. The worst part was labeling
the recordings using a handheld remote and not a keyboard. God, that sucks!
No more of that!

Before you call me a slime ball, I'm disabled to a point where I can't sit
through
a movie in a theater anyway and tomorrow, I'll be on a roof with another
disabled fellow straightening out some commercial refrigeration and AC
equipment. If I can get everything done tomorrow, it will be next week
before I can recover enough to work again. Darn! Everybody I work with
has something physically wrong but at least most of them are sane. o_O

OK - your disability is acknowledged so now I can say "You're a slime ball"
Dufe, but you're *our* slimeball which protects you from insulting
Canadians, boisterous Brits and a few other malcontents.
