...and they are the ones that vote.

those are designed to stop pedestrians, not vehicles.

refresh my memory. where are you talking?

what sane person goes when the light indicates not to?

Pettitte tells Congress that Clemens revealed HGH use Rocket faces tough test today after former teammate's allegations surface As he prepares to face accuser Brian McNamee in today's hearing into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, Roger Clemens' biggest challenge could be the words of friend and former teammate Andy Pettitte. According to last week's sworn affidavit from Pettitte, Clemens told Pettitte in either 1999 or 2000 that he used human growth hormone, the Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity. full article

add 0.5 to those and i'd agree. i was trying to keep it simple for the layperson

instead of the wall cavities being ~4" thick they are ~6in thick so you'd have room for some additional insulation.

they already have stephanie's. LOL

LOL i'm not trying to derail anything. certain things instill anger in people. it's like the picture going around where they say obama's not putting his hand over his chest during the pledge. i got an email on this subj from a friend who's a wwii vet and he sure was angry! later he asked whether i received his email i said yeah and he immediately raised his voice about the entire situation. last thing i want to do is give an 80-something a heart attack. there are surprisingly a lot of unstables out there.

i think currently the top 50% of taxpayers pay about 95% of taxes while the bottom 50% pay about 5%

there's a house built with 2x6's over by almeda mall on the east side of 45 built by a framer for his family. he said it did make a difference on his ac/heating bill.

i said guevara's depiction stirs up negative feelings. beyond that you never know what an unstable person can do.

i said "not that he himself supports the cubans but it sure doesn't leave a good impression for some." some older cubans i know will tell you that disliking guevara is an understatement. they said he was involved in executions and other horrific acts. his persona incites lots of negative feelings in some, esp from the older generation.

Metro says accident that injured bicyclist preventable A passenger on the light rail train that struck and injured a bicyclist Friday near the Texas Medical Center says the operator did not sound a horn or apply the brakes before the collision. A video of the accident, taken from cameras on the train and released by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, shows the track signal displaying a horizontal line, which means the operator is not to proceed. Metro released a statement Monday saying the accident was "preventable" and that investigation is continuing. The Chronicle has filed an open records request for the identities of the cyclist and the train operator

i think some have been looking at his houston office and seeing this. not that he himself supports the cubans but it sure doesn't leave a good impression for some.

yeah always call a plumber first. 2200 seems outrageous! when i had my plumbing redone, the plumber asked whether i wanted the gas lines replaced. he just charged an additional 200.

i didn't say that. however METRO is more than trains.

don't know but i'll bet their name is eileen

and a bottle of water.

sevfiv for police chief! when human factors are introduced, you never know what can happen. from the photo the lrt operator is at fault.

when restaurants venture into the burbs, sometimes things change. i've heard numerous times how bad taco milagro is at baybrook, mainly weak drinks yet i still like the one on kirby.

it can be but the rewards can be greater IMO. the great trim work in many old homes sure is a nice feature. if you have a larger family i definitely can understand size considerations, more bathrooms, etc.

I'm with you but have seen it enforced once. and she wasn't a happy camper.

i have a certain expectation that a light will last enough time for a vehicle or pedestrian to make it across the street, even at a good pace. when the trains are nearby, that expectation can be nipped.

not an assumption because it happened to me. even contacted the dist I councilperson at the time.
