Thanks,

That's odd. I've only had that problem in Opera; not in Firefox 2.x.

Re: Getting Creative: RTA Helps You Share Rides | Nashvillest

I registered with MTS RideShare last year before the weather turned cold (since I've been on a scooter since 2/2007), but have yet to get a match from Charlotte Park to Vandy.

Luckily, I could always depend on my good buddy who lives in Bellevue, and works at Vandy Creative Services when the goin' got too rough. I'm more than a mile from the nearest bus stop, and after 6 p.m., it's more like 2.5 miles.

Metro Water Services released a report saying that Nashvilleâ€™s tap water is completely up to par with EPA water safety standards.

The Bush administration's EPA?

Oh, I feel reassured, immediately!

21. NO ONE in Tennessee knows the meaning of the "lane ends - merge (direction)" signs. In fact, 80% of them think they know that it means exactly the opposite of what it means.

Unfortunately, flies won't light on their "tacos." That should be a clue.

You haven't lived until one of these hits you in the chest while you're doing 40mph on a scooter.

Heh! I just saw that you use some of that stuff from... businesscardart.com, izzit? I ran across that years ago, working for the Borg. They didn't much appreciate my using their stuff as a screensaver. ;)

That's obviously a tool of the DAY-vil! People might be tempted to read Glenn Greenwald or John W. Dean if they had one of them-thar thangs, instead of good, bible-beatin' Americans like Ann Coulter or Hugh Hewitt!

Re: Josh Experiments: Challenging Excess, Eating on $1 a Day

I did this for three years, out of necessity. That's after leaving a $60,000/yr. job, burning completely through a 401K and private retirement fund, losing a house, a car, and most of my possessions. It's not easy.

Well... I didn't try to put a value on what you're doing, actually. :) And I do not mean to disparage your experiment, in any way; it's more than most would attempt.

I hope you never reach those depths other than by absolute and revocable choice, because you might be truly surprised how unsympathetic your fellow man is towards people in such straits. You'd likely be amazed at how ineffective the government is in trying to set these things right, even in the short-term. It's even worse when you're asking for WORK (even from most churches!), believe it or not.

I'm fortunate, in that I secured a $20/hr. job, finally, and normalcy is returning. My position is temporary (although is expected to continue for some time), and has no benefits whatever. But it sure as hell beats what I went through from 2003-2006, and I am most grateful for it.
