Don't forget that Monday, November 10th is the 233rd birthday of The Marine Corps. And Tuesday, November 11th is Veterans Day. Celebrate them! Semper Fi!

Thanks for your service. Keep your head up and your a$$ down.

There's a good article on the "pre-run" of the 2009 C4 challenge for LR3s in Mongolia in the December issue of Road & Track. Only 2 full pages, but it looks like it will be an interesting locale. Ray

Do whatever it takes to make you quit smoking, whether it's fun, enjoyable, or not. The key is to STOP SMOKING-- you don't want to get emphysemia!!!

Liar and hip-shooter Biden scares me a lot more as Vice President than less-experienced Palin does. He's a dangerous egomaniac, but she seems to listen to her advisors.

Ol'Drippy, I had 5 guys help me, since it took about 9 tons of boulders and lots of digging to create my waterfalls/water feature. There are also companies here in California that will build them if you don't want to do it yourself (e.g. http://www.alliancewaterscapes.com/). But it's not that...

I agree with most of you-- food and tuition and related college fees come first-- ditch the cell phones, etc. and quit complaining. In the real world you sometimes HAVE to prioritize!-- you don't really have a right to have it all until you EARN it.

And we're glad that you do, Jamie.

He may as well commit suicide if he picks her as his VP candidate. He won't last a year.

I think Hillary should run for President as an Independent and let her 18 million supporters have their chance to vote for her again. It would solve a lot of problems.

Thanks guys. Great pics from each of you. Keep it up!
