I do not know the answer to your question, however I will mention that in Canada people shovel off their roofs after a heavy snow so the roof won't collapse. So I am not sure why people would want to keep it on. Is it possible it was some sort of gutter? I've never been to Boston, so I am

Isn't public safety always a function of government? As for the rest of it, I have enough to tend to in my own garden, so I will refrain from taking a character inventory of a culture I don't fully understand. Or accept, mind you. I just don't see why you are getting so upset over this. It's

Once again Dana you are insisting that the two actions are morally equivalent. That the publication of the images was exactly as wrong as arson, kidnapping, murder, bombings, threats.equating the two things as I can't disagree more. One is MUCH more wrong than the other. They are not even on the

not sure I do remember taking an old car, a Valiant I think, through emissions in Florida. I was really nervous about it as it was not in very good condition, and was told, don't worry, standards are loose for these old cars. It did pass. So considering that and the fact that this one

Might want to check that. If emission levels point to something that may be causing the fuel system to be running in a less than efficient range, then the check engine light will come on, and the onboard computer can provide diagnostics. Most auto parts places will check this for free if your car

No, I don't think they are morally equivalent, and certainly don't mean to insist that they are ;) Possibly I may sound that way though. I just think that in a world where it is ok for the government to subsidize billionaires, where groundwater pollution has been redefined to not include oil,

Absolutely no missing or sputtering. Car runs very smoothly and gas mileage is very high. I did notice when I started it earlier that it gives out a good bit of smoke and runs unevenly the first minute or two it is on if that tells anyone anything... Good point about the car parts place...

I think because Cheney told the White House to F themselves, and they are not quite sure what to do now. They are standing in the spotlight, trying to tap dance around an issue Cheney has no intention of addressing, and they don't know what is going on either. On 2/13/06, Gruss Gott [EMAIL
