He might have been exagerating, but as my memory returns I think I've probably misquoted him. He was more likely talking number of busts, not total quantity. The 52 tons was an 'assist' by the DEA and it wasn't on US soil, but I'll give them credit anyway :D Besides, my DPS buddy moved on to...

Ilegals and what else. I've got a buddy who was, until recently, shift Sgt. at the local DPS (State Trooper) station. He says they confiscate more drugs per year off of I-45 and I-35 than any other goverment agency, state or federal - including the Coast Gaurd. I don't know if he's whistlin'...

Sounds like another job for the third world kids. As far as what to grow with no light - fungus. Yet another use for third world kids.

I never understood that. You got to feed them, even granted, they're in some kind of suspended animation trance - still, you got to feed them. Can you really get a return at 1.5v. You'd do better to burn them for steam generation.

They claim it's nearly impossible to tip it over because it's got nearly 2,000 pounds of batteries under the foor. That's a perfect example of the need for more dense storage. Imagine what that thing could do with the same power at half the weight. Too much payload taken up with storage. That...

Must be their lawyers/insurance carrier worried about liability.

Thank you. I had thought of pointing this out earlier, but really, drifting on pavement is just so stupid that it really shouldn't need to be explained.

Yeah. Back home we adopted a lost rabbit hound that had apperantly been shot by it's own master. There's always lost hound dogs running around back home. Usually we would chase them off, but this one showed up shot, leaking blood all over the snow in the back yard and my little brother begged...

Oh, there's a tail joke in there somewhere...it'll come to me...

If Buddha is right I'm much more likely to come back as a fly, minding my own business sittin' on the edge of someone's kitchen counter, having a good day thinking about finding me some piece of juicy old brown banana and some nice lady fly tail... SMACK!!! Dayamm. Not again.

Crap!

Damn cats won't leave your dogs alone? Are you talking cats, or cougars? Dog had a possum cornered last spring. A Louisville Slugger did the trick. On the general topic of nuisance animals: When your wife wakes you up at 01:00 complaining she can't sleep 'cause of the tree frog outside the...

It's all over the front of my refrigerator - except they're not holes (that would suck: all the cold would get out: but then you wouldn't have to open the frig to get a beer - just reach right in) - they're pizza ads and pictures of the kids. Just get stickers from your favorite suspension...

If you want to be humane, and depending on what time of day it is, hit them with a spot light - million candle power or better. They hate that. They won't do chit if they can't see.

No, trucks don't haul enough payload to make current diesel/electric drivetrains worth while. That's why I say you need a payload-to-tractor ratio on the scale of a train for current tech to be feasible. But that's my point. With current tech, to make a truck electric it would have to carry...
