I can say all sorts of obscenitys in spanish as a result :wink: I feel it is unfair to those Americans who came here through the ...

Well, it's nice to see he is trying to do SOMETHING right :wink: I recently e mailed him regarding Arizona's new illegal immagration laws and suggested he take a page from their playbook. Instead I got the noncomital cookie cutter response. Shows where he stands :roll: Dear Mr. Hathaway: I share the...

With prices as high as they are getting some may have to find a cheaper alternative...

I'm glad you mentioned the benefits of a more veggie friendly diet Ian. The more I read and learn about diet, the more attractive the below Meditteranean diet is to me. There isn't a lot of beef in that diet..but it still lets you get a hamburger once a month if you want. http://www.neac.eat-online....

Way to go Ben. Please bag a few more. There are so many deer running around on the back roads in central Virginia I'm afraid to take my boat up to Lake Anna. I am not a hunter but you probably know I like to wet a line for Mr. Bass. Here is a fairly recent catch: (removed image to save space-Ben) R...

Thanks Bill. Happy Thanksgiving to you also. As for being a good shot.... my .270 short mag bullet went right through the pericardium :) Bambi wasn't even able to run a yard before she fell over and died. That's the way it should be done IMHO. I get no pleasure in making an animal suffer. The quick ...

Teaching my son to keep the deer population at bay!

May be offensive to PETA folk.....

How come every time a celebrity type says something to offend American Black people, they meet with Al Sharpton?

Currently Route 12 goes through it. They argue that route 12 often needs repair due to overspills cau...

The S.E.L.C Southern Enviromental Law Center which includes the Defenders of the Wildlife organization and the Audobon society, are doing all they can to essentially close down the Cape Hatteras National Seashore to the greater Public.

Earlier this year while hearing a case involving a man driving on an area designated as an area for protected species, a federal Judge decided it was his job to not "judge" the law but make new ones. When this case should have been about ONE man breaking laws, and punishing the federal Jud...

In all fairness the Region is developing rapidly. It's sad to think the area is losing it's rural feel. Before long it will be like Virginia East of the Blue Ridge.

PS. Ross.....no offense meant to you.

Tech has a cult following here.... to the point it sickens me a little. It has gotten even worse since the massacre that recently happened.... but that is fading enough to the point that I can start to make jabs at TECH again. My wife is working on her Masters though there now, so I have to be caref...

Never wear that shirt in Roanoke
