Oh really?

Ford put two new brand new, non-reman engines in my F-150, a new cat
system, new rear end and a transmission not to mention changed the EMM
all in an effort to get the beast to tow 5000 lbs like they claimed.
One of the results of all this work was a vacuum hose slipped off the
vacuum pump causing the brake system to fail (fortunately in a parking
lot) requiring a replacement hose (a silent recall) and they paid the
$567 tow bill no questions asked.

All the drive train work at no cost to me.

And I have never, EVER, had a warranty issue in terms of payment - if
it's covered, it's payed for - I don't even see the bill.

Oh, one other thing. The dealer is outstanding. The oil change
before this last one, I asked them to check the brakes as I thought
the front ones were looking a little worn when they rotated the tires.
Said they wre fine. Well, they weren't because one week later, I
heard grinding noises, knew the brakes were bad and they replaced the
rotors, calipers and brakes - no charge.

Don't tell me about Ford - wouldn't buy any other car. And I would
remind you that Ford may just make it through this as our only
domestic, all American auto manufacturer.

Ever.

I liked the song, but must they include a religious images to go alone
with the religious worlds. Geeezzzzeeee.

This version is more politically correct and doesn't shove one's
religion down one's throat. There are no religious images and while the
words are the same, it will only offend those who understand German.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4puLy...eature=related

Religious songs are much more enjoyable when you can't understand what
they are saying, so if you know of any links to songs sung in Coptic,
Latin or other language not commonly used it would not be appreciated.

My point about hunting and it has been the same for years is that it is
not sport, not in the way I would define sport. It's just semi-organized
slaughter of harmless animals.

The few times I have watched hunting shows on TV I've been astonished by
the "mystique" of the hosts, who think it is something miraculous to
stalk the woods, climb up into a tree, call in a male deer with scent or
sound, and then...shoot it. That's sport? Even worse are the brave white
hunters who stalk sheep. Sheep? Jesus.

Now, hunting with a longbow, that is something that requires lots of
skill and some balls, because you usually have to get close enough to an
animal to risk getting injured.

I've never claimed fishing was "manly," although fishing successfully
where you cannot see your potential catch does seem to require more
skill than looking through a scope and pulling a trigger. Fly fishing
requires a good deal of skill.

I don't fish very seriously these days. Sometimes I don't even bait my
hook.

There's absolutely nothing "manly" about shooting deer or doves or most
other harmless creatures.


This sounds very similar to the lectures you gave us about buying a
Japanese vehicle and outboard(from those who brought you Pearl Harbor)
and banning handguns, (a shotgun is a much better weapon for self
defense, and the only people who own handguns are men who are missing
half their teeth and think the definition of a virgin is a sister who
can not outrun her brother).

All of that changed as soon as you decided you wanted to buy a Japanese
truck, outboard and handgun. When one's core values change with the
wind, it really diminishes your ability to effectively lecture anyone on
any subject. Next year, you will be talking about the beauty and grace
of watching the deer walk through the forest on a foggy morning,
sighting the deer in your sights, and the feel of cold steel against
your cheek, and then slowly pulling the trigger, just so you can enjoy
the sight of blowing Bambi's brains all over the forest.

I liked the song, but must they include a religious images to go alone
with the religious worlds. Geeezzzzeeee.

Yes, the images were a major distraction. But, I know Harry loves them so
they were included. And, they're easily done away with.

This version is more politically correct and doesn't shove one's
religion down one's throat. There are no religious images and while the
words are the same, it will only offend those who understand German.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4puLy...eature=related

Religious songs are much more enjoyable when you can't understand what
they are saying, so if you know of any links to songs sung in Coptic,
Latin or other language not commonly used it would not be appreciated.



In this case, I happen to like the version you picked very much. I doubt if
there are many people who listen to the German version without know what
they are saying.

However, I know what you mean about the video, which is why I use something
like this for motivation before going out on the golf course, which I'll be
doing shortly!

Krause! Did you get religion or something? Wasn't too long ago that your
favorite sport was catching all manner of fishes and then releasing them
so they can be caught again. Didn't matter to you how much pain and
trauma you brought on to satisfy your need to be a MANLY fish torturer.

Deer population definitely need to be managed, I don't hunt, but anyone
who has studied the problem understands the importance of controlling
the deer population and thinning the herd.

The other universally accepted principle of managing wildlife is one
should never feed wildlife, especially do not feed them your table scraps.

I was making fun of Harry's ability to take a strong stand on a issue,
to pretend he has strong moral fiber, and then change his mind quickly,
and take an equally strong stand on the opposite side of the issue, just
because he now wants to participate in that activity.

Harry pretends he loves wildlife, and wants to help them, yet, he choses
to ignore all the experts and feed Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Bambi and
Thumper unhealthy food, encouraging them to lose their natural fear of
humans, just so he can pretend he is helping them.

I guess you know more than the Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources:

Feeding Wildlife: You May Be Doing More Harm Than Good!

Before offering wild animals a handout of food please consider the
following:

Feeding wildlife may quickly cause problems.
Feeding a single wild animal can quickly lead to having many at your
doorstep. Wild animals constantly search for food and many will find the
easy food source you provide. Continually feeding many wild animals in
the same place can harm the habitat, people, and the animals themselves.

Feeding wildlife may cause the spread of disease.
Most wildlife diseases are transferred from animal to animal. Because of
their close contact, animals crowding at feeding sites can readily
exchange diseases. More animals die from disease and disease-related
ailments than from starvation. It’s also important to remember that
wildlife can carry many diseases that readily spread to people, pets,
and livestock. These diseases include rabies, Lyme disease,
salmonellosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, distempers, and
encephalitis. In addition, most wildlife species carry parasites that
are also easily transferred. For example, raccoon round worms can be
fatal to humans and scabies mites cause mange in pets.

Wild animals can be dangerous!
Animals that are fed by humans often lose their natural fear of people.
Nearly any wild animal, no matter how timid, is capable of inflicting
injury to humans, pets, and livestock.

Feeding leads to crowding and crowding causes stress.
In crowded situations, physical aggression among individual animals is
common. At feeding sites, larger more aggressive individuals often
exclude younger and weaker individuals. Aggressive behavior can lead to
injuries and even death, particularly for vulnerable individuals.

Supplemental food sources do not contribute to a wildlife population’s
well-being.
Wild animals need varied, natural foods as a part of their normal diet.
Their digestive systems are adapted to extract energy from a variety of
foods available throughout the seasons. Though wildlife may accept
handouts from people, they will likely not get the balanced diet they
need for good health. For example, deer have sensitive digestive systems
that cannot readily adapt to supplemental food sources. In fact, winter
starved deer have actually died with full stomachs because their
digestive system was unable to process the supplemental food.

An overabundance of individuals can result in habitat degradation.
Any given habitat can only support a limited amount of wildlife. An
overabundance of wild animals drawn to a feeding area can damage the
local habitat for not only the animals being fed but others species as
well. Habitat degradation significantly affects all wildlife species.
Also, feeding deer may cause problems for your neighbors or adjacent
landowners.

Feeding wild birds.
Even keeping a bird feeder has its difficulties. Although songbirds do
not lose their instinctual fear of humans and the seeds provided are
nutritionally beneficial, they are susceptible to diseases caused by
dirty bird feeders. Feeders should be kept clean and can be disinfected
with a mild bleach solution. The ground underneath the feeder should be
raked to remove moldy grain and bird droppings because both can harbor
disease.

Wild animals need habitat, not handouts.
Wild animals benefit from healthy habitat. To help wildlife species,
practice sound habitat management in your own backyard and support
programs dedicated to providing and protecting healthy wildlife habitat.
The Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service can provide information and
guidance to people interested in helping wildlife around their homes and
in their communities.


Note: For an in-depth look at the problems associated with feeding
wildlife read Feeding Wildlife…Just Say No! a Wildlife Management
Institute (WMI) publication available through their website at

According to the Maryland Dept of Natural Resources, you are doing more
harm and physically hurting, actually torturing the animals by your
behavior. You are also putting your neighbors at risk from disease and
aggressive behavior by feeding these animals. The Maryland DNR
believes this is much worse than the person who goes out with a gun and
kills them. I know you don't care, but it does sum up your outlook on
life. It is all about you, and you don't care who or what you hurt. I
know if I was a neighbor, I would report your activity to the Maryland
DNR.

There are many, many hundreds of publications out there telling us not
to feed wild raccoons. It's a very big problem around the condos on
Tybee Island. People have gotten them unafraid of man and are
aggressive with a large percent of them having rabies and other
diseases that are life threatening to humans.
