Huh... MalibuRenter gave me a suggestion with his "more portable". Cut it in half as if it was pre-fab and rail car the two pieces to New Orleans. Hell, most tract homes could be downsized by half anyways. You could make two homes out of it. Call it a tax deduction or business loss...

Girl in the OC, The AMT is the alternative minimum tax. It was created (from fuzzy memory) in the 70s. It is an entire system of income taxation that rides paralell to what we normally think of. It was designed to tax a small group of people - like 2000 in the 70s based on their gross...

No offense to these suggestions. But I would suggest you read blog analysis. They may be bias (by opinion), they may even be wrong, but they are often MANY times more easy to digest. I would suggest you read the analysis here, then hit the links off the main page to other blog rolls...

If you like the shiraz/syrah - cabernet blend, check out the Australia section. They do a good job of blending the two. You pay a little premium for the importing, but they have some good stuff. Might have to go a bit further than TJs to find it though.

oc_fliptrack, non-powder guns (NPG) have muzzle velocities from 500 feet per second (fps) up to 1200 fps. They are much less regulated. Oh, btw, takes about 350-400 fps to penetrate skin and go into bone. Yes, these are not the same things we had as kids.

awgee, w00h00! get it out man, sing it, SING IT! you forgot the /rant at the end. A valid rant and one I agree with as well. As for flipper resentment... I equate it to drug use. I'm a libertarian as well (nod oc_fliptrack). It's not that I have anything against them doing...

My in-laws live in a land-lease community. I've heard annuals as high as $30K, I think it's currently 22Kish. Who lives here? Rich retirees. Not like well-to-do rich, but like really rich. What do they get for the money. The landscaping is well-kept. The private golf course (must...

I had an Oregon beer this weekend. <a href="http://www.bigskybrew.com/process/moosedrool.html">Moose Drool</a> I'd buy it again. I thought it was more amber and hoppy than normal for an ale. Great name too.

As soon as I heard the headlines, all I could think of was Andy Kaufman doing this rare skit where he bangs on a bongo screaming "Cash for the merchandise, cash for the hard goods, cash for the soft goods" over and over. Does <strong>anyone</strong> remember it???
