Walking is a money saver compared to seeing a heart surgeon. There was an advertisement for a gym years ago that bragged about their front door parking. When I want exercise, I drive to the countryside and go running and swimming. Outdoors, free, fresh air, nobody in my way, nice scenery. Exercising inside a building is a ****ing stupid idea. What do you do when there's 1.5 metres of snow on the ground and the temperature is -20 C ? The same. Snow is soft to run in bare feet. We don't get -20C, we get down to -5C.

You put it up when you put in mail for pickup, the mailman puts it down when he does. The yellow flag is on the side.

The PO doesn't put any flag up to signal they put mail in the box - I alwaus have to check to see if I have mail. There are gadgets to tell you remotely if the mailbox has been opened but if you had mail in the box for pickup that wouldn't signal you that delivered mail had been left. The same guy that picks up the mail also delivers it so there is a good chance you have something in the box if it was opened. I'd guess at 90% from my experience. |

My wife and I do a lot of online shopping so we do get plenty of stuff we want tho. The thing that amazes me is I can buy a product shipped from China cheaper than I can ship it to California. It is a glitch in the postal laws that allows them to pay the postal rate there (probably free) and we have to carry it the rest of the way free here. |

In recent years they've been a lot more variable, anywhere from 9am to 4pm. It can be frustrating to walk the few hundred feet to the mailbox and back to the house, only to hear them drive by a few minutes later. Save all the postage paid envelopes from the junk mail. Stuff each one with stuff from another. Put out in your mail box for pickup. When you look and see the flag down you know mail has went by. Here, they ignore the flag and don't put it down. One interesting junk-mail thing here comes on some Thursdays. That's the day for curbside recycling pickup here. If mail comes first, I can transfer most of it directly to the recycling container. Note that some of the junk mail (from charities) comes with a little money inside (usually just a nickel, but I have found $2 bills), so you might want to look first. How do they know the difference between the flag for them to collect, and the flag for you to collect? The flag for them to collect is red (and its appearance is probably regulated by the Office of the Postmaster General). On my mailbox, the one for me is yellow. Are they manually erected then? I can't se how the box distinguishes otherwise, I thought it was a weight sensor. When I put out mail, I manually raise the red flag. When the postman picks up the outgoing mail, he manually puts the red flag down. When the postman puts mail in the box (whether or not there is outgoing mail), the yellow flag raises automatically; it has a tab that catches on the mailbox door that pushes the flag up. When I retrieve my mail, I manually put the yellow flag back down. Cindy Hamilton |

wrote: The most expensive fish dinner I ever had cost me over $300 for barely enough fish for the 6 of us to have a taste. We took the kids to Ocean City, MD when they were teenagers. A 4 hour fishing cruise and we spent most of the time listening to the captain on the radio with other captains in the area "Anything happening where you are? No? Man, this sucks." I think we caught 4 fish that were legal to keep and I'm pretty sure the first mate was pretty lenient on at least one of them. Just before I left Florida, I took the wife on a 3 day trip to Dry Tortugas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_Tortugas out of Key West. The boat caught over four thousand pounds of snapper. My hands were cramped from holding the fishing rod. We fished in shifts, Her in the day and me at night. Enough fish to feed us for a year. Took a day or so for my hands to relax. It was a hoot. Just today a noticed the photo I have in a frame of what 4 thousand pounds of fish look like from the ship. |

The mountain ranges back east aren't nearly as spectacular. Way too many trees there. The drive northeast of Las Vegas through central Nevada and then to Denver, Colorado is a good one. One can stand on the plateaus and see seemingly forever plus a foot. |

They provide welcome shade, look great in the fall, and hide an awful lot of boring dirt. Yeah, but they aren't much for scenery. We used to refer to the 'universal view' in the Adirondacks. Hike up to the top of one of the 4000 footers and if you could find an overlook with a break in the trees, you saw a sea of more trees. Marcy, the highest NY peak does have a good view as do a few others. Most didn't really have a treeline but when he surveyed the area in the 1870's Verplanck Colvin burned off some ofthe summits to get lines of sight and they never recovered. Washington in NH, Mansfield in VT, and Greylock in MA also have nice views. Unfortunately Washington has a road and tram railway to the top, Mansfield has a ski lift, and Greylock has a road. I can't speak for the view from the highest peak in the chain, Mitchell in NC. Between the trees and dense fog I could have been anywhere. I do miss the rich variety of the hardwood forests. Around here, if it isn't a douglas fir it's a ponderosa pine with a few cedar and larch here and there. Fall colors run to yellow from the larch and cottonwood although there are some maples and oaks that were planted in the city. What I don't miss is the rich variety of libs. I left NH in '88 when they started creeping in from MA. I'd left NYS in '71. There is no hope for that state until the rising sea puts Sodom on the Hudson underwater. |

Horse is not so bad and used to be eaten in the past, but became taboo. Still available in Canada and Europe. Beef-- it just tastes good. My point exactly. Horse is taboo. Why? Why say horse is wrong but cow is ok? Horses are pets or working partners on a ranch so they, like dogs, are considered taboo by society. So they don't get eaten because they can work? Surely if you breed more of them, you can eat them AND work them? Sure, but common sense is outranked by emotional animal lovers. Some of them even think fish are sentient beings! -- The female gangbang world record is owned by a woman named Houston who had intercourse with 620 men in one day!
