Yep.

Nice.

This recording is a smoker.

B, the Mark V looks straight. I looked at a 74 Mark IV with a 460 recently but passed on it since I'm going to move. I'll wait until after I re-locate than resume the hunt for a Mark, Electra 225, Riviera, Coupe De Ville, or another Eldo.

Who's wife?

Not in Phoenix. These fuckers just proceed to run the light. It's still dark in the morning when I go to work, the camera flashes at the intersections make you think there is a fireworks show going on.

They should be sad. Should also be pissed. UofA gave the game away, I'm done wth them.

I wouldn't sweat the traffic ticket too much. If you go to court, tell the clerk or the judge you need time to pay it. They will give the time, it's a standard practice. On the student loans, Free For All is 100% correct. Offer to pay the interest only or see if they can grant an extension by taking the payment due and putting it at the end of the term.

Well deserved.

Same to you.

Cavatelli and spinach.

I don't think Johnny has ever seen that forum before... It appears he's been waiting on a high speed connection all along. Johnny is a prisoner of politics no more.

RIP. Foghat was very much a part of my youth.

That's how I feel.

We've had cameras here at some of the intersections for a few years now, photo radar as well. I can't really say how much it's helped due to the severity of the problem.

Don't kid yourself. The freeway system in Phoenix, sucks. It wouldn't be a big deal if everyone didn't live 20-30 miles from where they work and have only the highways as an option to get there. It's 10-15 years behind the growth. Traffic is a real pain in the ass. It's also dangerous as hell here. People drive an average of 20+ MPH over the limit on the surface roads and then run the red lights. We rank number one in the country for running red lights. It's not uncommon for me to see two or three accidents each evening while drving home. Phoenix is going to build a rail system. I think the first worthless stretch will be done in about 5-6 years. They will lose a few lanes of the freeways during construction, so that should be real pleasant. Also if you move here, be prepared to replace a windshield every four or five months. You'll get cracks and chips every other week, but it usually tales a few months before it obstructs your vision. If you want to talk about an amusement park atmosphere, Phoenix is it. We've got every chain restaurant, drug store, grocery store, and two convenience stores for every person here. All the housing developments are nice little neat communities with the same stores and places to eat, little man made lakes filled with re-claimed water, and built to look like you just walked into Tuscany or Mazatlan. And forget about live jazz, you'll be lucky to catch a half ass decent local act from time to time. Of course if the locals citizens of Phoenix catch anyone playing jazz they complain to management, and the next time you stop in the place, you'll find the man on the piano doing Barry Manilow numbers. Air quality sucks here as well. It's not unusual to see the health and environmental department issue a dozen or so high risk air quality day warnings during the summer or when people decide to use their fireplaces because it's a brisk 60 degrees outside. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad, and I'm in a bit of a mood today. Do yourself a favor and do the research. Phoenix may really be something in 10 years, that is if there is still any water here. On the other hand, some people really love it. For me, it's been fun to visit, but it never felt like home.

It was for me.

Veal scallopini, stuffed artichokes, and sliced cucumbers with olive oil and balsamic.

I believe you meant "wide ass" hehe BTW, pasta, I'm just funnin' with you. Go ahead and call these guys whatever you want.

In other words, fat! Are you trying to cause trouble, wise ass? Jazzmoose, is this the dude that used to post using the handle "macaroni"?

dmitry, sorry to hear you are leaving. What was it that finally soured you on NYC? Dmitry turned country. Seriously, I can't blame him. It's beautiful where he is going.

Hurry up. I'll be here for awhile still. B-)

Sorry to offend any residents of this city, but I visited it in January and thought it was terrible! There's a great Belgian beer bar downtown that's worth checking out, though -- Monk's Cafe. Only bar I've ever been to with a tapestry on the wall. Guy Guy, I'm curious what did you find so terrible about it?

Yeah, I saw hoe expensive Ann Arbor can be. Philly is most definitely a good value from what I've heard and read. I think the cost of living balances out closely with Phoenix.
