    I'm rather curious as to how business is while everyone going to "E" route. To my knowledge, these books aren't exactly what I would call "light reading."

    Or specialized reference books or pornography.

    Nah, it will tank as people just sit on the couches and read the books for free and look important while they suck up the free wi-fi on their laptops. My book buying habits have changed considerably in the last two years. Almost everything I buy goes to my kindle, but things that I use for research I keep in actual book form and keep on my shelf. Unless they change it up the business model, the popular bookstores are going to go the way of blockbuster. edit: damn auto correct

    I've been rather curious about piola's, but haven't had the chance to investigate. As far as Fuzzy's goes, I'm very partial to the shepherd location. I don't want to say it is my absolute favorite, but it is up there for me for deep dish, but lately I've been preferring thin crust.

    Depends on who and what they post. Some have more value than others.

    Boo! You owe me a beer just for reading that.

    Wildlife wrestling? Do they have beavers taking on bears? That sport might be worth watching!

    I hate you.

    PLEASE, don't call it THAT name. Let's not perpetuate that DB moniker. On topic: yay.

    lol. Yeah, that might get the vid yanked. I'll pm you the length of the vids so you can synchronize then on your pc for your viewing pleasure.

    Ugh. I thought I was doing y'all a favor by not putting one on there. The selections aren't that great.

    Supposedly this is the design:

    Bet you a beer that within two years of completion there will be people whining about the poor design.

    Yeah, the liberal AND the conservative whiners make me want to slit throats. I still hoped for just the base only option, but I'm willing to bet in a few years after it is finished they will regret the option they picked..

    Took this a couple of days ago. It's almost gone.

    At the beginning of the video, you will see some trucks where Rusk and Capital merge, to my knowledge, THAT is where it is going to end.

    I didn't spot it while making the video, but apparently they are welding tracks together over by Wayside and Harrisburg. I'd love to see some metal thieves TRY to make out with that stuff.
  19. ricco67
    maybe it got a good prescription.
  20. ricco67
    Here is a pic I took a few days ago. It LOOKS like they have done some work on it, but there wasn't anything being done on the day I took this.

    I'm incredibly anal when it comes to updating my quicken, so when I update my balances I just tap the rough number up there (rounded up)and keep going. Just using cash does not make me a luddite, but it allows myself to keep an ongoing "budget" when out and about. If course, since I've discovered the app "mint", it has made life a bit easier.
  22. ricco67
    What? You expect them for you to assume you're an honest person and NOT pass a counterfeit note? EVERYONE is honest, eh? Not only do I (mostly) pay with cash, I generally have it in my HAND and READY while the cashier totes up my tally. A slight peeve of mine is when people suddenly have to reach for their purse, pocket or whatever when the cashier gives the total. C'mon, people. Really?

    Yes, virginia, it was a real park. It was highly under utilized, though. If I remember correctly, some of the larger trees were transplanted to other parks or DG. This is an example why I think people should photograph the mundane to remember how things were like.

    And finally, the East line vid:

    The problem with his qualifier is that NOTHING is ever 100%. It irritates me that he made such a statement, what happens if they fail again because of weather or a hidden manufacturing defect a couple of years down the line?
