all the good words were deleted :-(

Oh please, most home robberies start by runing a car into your fence/hedge and driving away. IF so, he could have stayed at his house and waited a bit

And you wonder why all our development looks bland.... the future Zip Dip will probably be a bland building, set back from the right of way on a nice lawn, and a bland old marquee sign http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070112/NEWS01/301120008/1056/COL02

how not to address the Judge :? http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070112/NEWS01/701120352/1077/COL02

Seemed a little gung-ho about his fence :shoot: Of course it will probably be overblown by all the talking heads, IMO he went a little too far just to protect his fence (now the boy's mommies are crying foul) http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070110/NEWS01/701100339

Corral all the "loser" bowls into a 16 team playoff. Only gamblers care about the "other" bowls outside of the team's fans themselves

My bad.Urban Meyer was born bred in Ashtabula.....I had msiread this bit in http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/content/sports/epaper/2007/01/07/a1b_meyer_0107.html "The family owned a sprawling farm in Sardinia, Ohio, west of the city, raising about 1,000 pigs a year. When Bud Meyer was relocated to Ashtabula for about six years, he wanted to leave his son behind to live with his aunt so he could attend the elite St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati. " wanted to leave his son behind to attend St. X implies they lived in Cincy at the time...bad writing this piece from the Cincy Enq. sets me straight http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070108/SPT01/701080320/-1/back01 "Somehow, Meyer, who was born and raised in Ashtabula, which is about an hour east of Cleveland, grew up a Bengals and Reds fan. A room in his home in northeast Ohio was full of Bengals and Red memorabilia." His father had the strong Cincy ties...

Born in Cincy, raised in Ashtabula...his father returned to and still lives in Cincy

San Francisco ? You're kidding right? :wtf: Nope, if he was referring to walkability and transit use etc.?? If referring to architecture etc., well duh weese ain't that old

San Francisco ?

the Bengals-Shittsburg game Sunday, once the favorite to be moved to Sunday Prime Time in the Flex Scheduling...now ain't even in HD :-( http://www.gribblenation.net/nflmaps/17-CBS-E.gif

here's the NFL arrests list. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/nfl/longterm/2006/nfl_chart_12162006.html I remember a few years ago, someone got busted for a HUGE amount of pot in their trunks...Was it Bam Morris?

I would like some...I am a map geek

If you had ever met me, you'd know that's a bit of an overreaction. :wink: Yeah I know dat...was going to qualify my post w/ saying something like -- didn't notice anything like that in yr psots (In fact I enjoy yours a lot) You are right, its a heated subject (land use) - but I don't buy into the fact that its a runaway train...Its not the best, I agree, I just don't buy the doomsday scenarios (mind you I am not validating our current practices)... Seemed like Kunstler was just SOOOO negative and 'holier than thou' , IMHO, and that would turn off those on the fence, limiting his audience to those who already will agree with him anyway.

If I wanted to write something positive and optimistic about the current and possible future state of our society and our economy, I don't know how I'd go about it and keep my integrity. then you can't be objective about it -- you say there is NOTHING positive about today's society and future society (being able to predict everything that will happen with certainty).

I find him extremely negative. I tried to read Geography of Nowhere, but had to put it down. I think about the time he was ripping of home improvement projects in general - my memory can be lax of what he was actually writing about. While I like to see/hear/read all viewpoints - being so pessimistic and negative can hamper one's objectivity

I'm a map/air photo geek and didn't realize there was an abanonded rail ROW near the Butler Warren County line SW of Mason! (There is a very noticable hump on Dimmick Road just west of Butler Warren Road that I now know was the old grade x-ing)

Betcha that the BCS didn't want Michigan in the champ. game...what if Michigan eeked out a 3 point win on the neutral site --- no consensus number 1 then -- both same record and same head to head.. they're just avoiding a big controversy down the line
