Since you've never seen her on FoxNews I thought maybe you would like to
have this link. Yes, it's Dana Loesch of the "Dana Show" that you
referenced along with your idol, Shawn Hannity:

Yeah, I saw Al Sharpton interviewed on Fox too, doesn't mean he works
for Fox... You made assumptions, just admit it and move on...

You asked last night where Harry was. I bet he was in Orlando to attend
the fund raiser for Rick Scott. Dana, Shaun, and Herman were all there.
How could Harry resist rubbing elbows with the three of them?


Dana might have something to rub. Not sure about the others, but YMMV.
:-)



Boy, you really are taking over for harry while he's gone... Did you
guys make some kind of agreement?

It's called compromise. Dying art now-a-days.

The problem is that no amount of compromise legislation will prevent
crazies and criminals from getting guns. That means that incidents
will continue to happen from time to time, and each one will cause an
outburst of emotional frenzy, and that will create more calls for
legislation. If we start compromising with the gun haters we will end
up with a process of creeping rights erosion, just like has happened
with to the so called "war on drugs".

There are just too damn many liberals out there who want all guns
taken away from law-abiding citizens.

There will be no guarantee because gun haters will keep stirring the
pot. I prefer to call them gun haters as opposed to liberals because
there are some perfectly reasonable liberals out there (although not
as many as I'd like).

Valid points. It's going to happen anyway though, so I think it may be
better to be pro-active in the process rather than being totally rigid
about the subject.

I understand where you are coming from but I guess I just don't see a

any form of this kind of harassment. Maybe I live a boring life.

===

When I was young and driving old beat up cars, I used to experience a
fair number of trumped up harassment stops. When I was able to afford
newer cars it stopped. I suspect it also happens a lot with minority
drivers because cops believe there is an increased likelihood of
finding something amiss.

That would provoke a nationwide disturbance not seen since the civil
war, and would be political suicide for any strong advocate. There
would be states that threatened secession from the union and they'd be
serious about it.


PS, I regret to report that my forecast for a weekend nor'easter up
your way still looks pretty solid.


I'll have to check the local forecast again. Last word I heard is that
it was going to just clip the Cape which means some rain and wind but
not too bad.

5-8 inches of snow in Maine though.

I am still playing with the ViewFax program you provided the link to. I
can see the "get data" in the pull down menu and when I click on it I
get this:

http://tinyurl.com/pkl9mdc

But when I request any of the areas (Boston in this case) the display
either comes up blank or it comes up with the text of a weather forecast
like this:

http://tinyurl.com/ohbt4zj

If I click on "open" under file in the pull down, and then on the image
file, it loads the global map but there's no weather information on it.

I'll figure it out eventually.


===

OK, you're getting close. After you get the global map, use the
window bars and cursor to draw a blue box that looks like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/37wm5h47tgov8ni/Screenshot%202014-10-31%2009.15.16.png?dl=0

The box defines the lat/lon co-ordinates of the area that you are
interested in.

At the bottom select "GFS" from the pull-down and then click
"request".

That should bring up an option box where you specify dates, times,
model parameters, etc.



Hmmmm... If I draw a box on the map with the curser, it immediately
disappears when I release the mouse button and the curser reverts back
to the "hand" style for panning.

I also don't have the menu bar on the left when the map is displayed.

I'll keep playing with it.

I think sometimes we forget that the

BTW I am not really sure that is true. I think we may have the Nancy

I will not divulge gun ownership for any survey. Why let myself be put
on someone's list? Hell, Harry's database is enough.



You don't have to divulge anything. You've broadcasted every gun you
own and what future guns you might buy all over the Internet.


No, no, no....only here! :)



What goes on in rec.boats doesn't necessarily stay in rec.boats. That's
why I cautioned you, some time ago, not to broadcast your travel plans. ;-)

What goes on in rec.boats is copied and distributed to who knows how
many web based forums and websites. You need to assume that anything
you say is available to anyone, anywhere who may have interest in what
you do and where you are.
