3. Starbucks insisting on Vente, Grande and Tall

The way I reckon, Starbucks must've been started by folks in the condom manufacturing business, since their "tall" is the smallest size.

4. Ethanol from corn

...unless it's for human consumption. :birthday:

7. Speed traps - how unfair - stand by the road like a man and light off your radar so I have a fighting chance

They do this in Ireland - great story I'll tell you over a blue shark sometime.

8. People who make lists

I'm not sure I'd admit knowing that factoid and so far to my knowledge, SWMBO has not discussed my shortcomings

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

Ok..I am going to rant on a regular group to bash on. the TSA.

When I opened my bag upon returning from Cozumel, I had one of those familiar notices that my bag had been searched by TSA.

Well, The head of my electric razor is missing. Completely gone. It was there when I packed it when leaving.

Unfortunately I was leaving the next morning for rural Utah. I am teaching a class in a place that does have internet, but alas, no major shopping.

So all week I have had to use an old razor that rips the whiskers off my face and hurts like hell.

I look forward to getting home tomorrow and replace my primary razor.

Thanks TSA!

Hey now, I never signed up for the HH I just organized it - my shop bought tickets to a show that evening so I was unable to make the festivities. I'll be at the 2009 PNW dive show, however with bells on!!
