I think it is impossible to get them under control. They have raised
spending 40% in the last 4 years, and we tossed the last Governor cause he
allowed spending to increase 39% under his 4 year watch. But the
Legislature keeps the spendthrifts in power as the control the
Gerrymandering.

It's called revolution. After all, didn't you guys initiate the tax
revolution with Proposition 13? :)

But Senator Perata wants to put a tax on all bullets while banning most
guns. But he has a CCW and made his money as a bail bondsman.

Bass may give you a narrower neck, but you'll need more force to play it.
You'll also utilize less fingers most of the time, so it may not give you
the workout all the fingers need.-

however, you need more force on the individual strings, (strength) and
with the wider frets (streching) i would think it could be quite
thereputic. Granted you don't have the more precise touch a 6 string
guitar would ahve, but then again, if it gets to the point where the
loss is to predominate for a guitar then bass could be a wlecome
thought.

If a person really wants golf like frustration, or a precise workout,
then pick up a fretless! It'll tell you how your dexterity is, and
grade you like a fine toothed comb! ?:

But granted, i really wouldn't entertain an upright because you end up
gripping the neck, or at least I do. That's one reason I got rid of
mine. OH it was set up really well, but 1) I couldn't really justify
taking up a whole corner of a room to keep it (full 4/4 Kay), and 2)
too much work for the results I was getting.I was moving my arm up and
down the neck like a pump handle and my hand ended up being a
portable capo.


Anyhow. Tom, I wish you well with your decisions.

No - that was Mean Joe Greene.

Ban burning wood in fireplaces? What's next, banning cooking hamburgers on
a charcoal grill?


Dodn't know totally sure or not, but from what I gather, Illinois just
passed an anti-smoking bill to ban smoking in all business as of
1-1-08

Knitting. And, if you're man enough (like Namath), modeling pantyhose.

If you take that knitting up, you might find a market in here for mitts &
caps this winter.
Cold again up here...need my sandles with cleats (Icers?) every time I take
the dog for his walk in the park.

It's sure. Waitress told me when I was down your way (anywhere south
of the Chicago suburbs is Southern Illinois to me.)
Heard it on the news yesterday too.
Air gets nasty around here when people start lighting off their
fireplaces, especially if the wind is light. Inversion I guess.
Totally different than charcoal cooking a steak or chicken.
More like a house on fire, a house where dogs have been ****ing.
Leaves burning smell a lot better, but that's been against the law
around here for years.
Don't have a fireplace myself, and the only thing I'd care to have one
for is to roast marshmallows. My wife wants a phony fireplace.
So far I've put her off it by saying first we have to buy a phony cave
to put it in.

That's already taxed here. We still have people shaped like the back
of
a
bus.

You do know that we've seen pictures of you. :)

Am I your current fantasy, captain?

Not at all.

Just saying. :)

OK, but I'm now eliminating the momentary glitch by walking 90 minutes a
day
with 50 pounds on my back, along with leg & arm weights. If you need a
late
night fantasy, focus on JohnH.:

Oh - a tad touchy there Dougie.

Tsk - no reason to get snippy just because they could put advertising
on your sides and a destination sign on your forehead.

So to speak. :)


Actually, I've been 170 +/- 2 lbs since college. I hit 188 this past
summer. That's in the process of being fixed. There is no way I will go up
an inch in waste size. Can't happen. Not permissible.


Seeing how you wear your pants, you could easily add 50 lbs without adding
an inch in your waist size.

Cable knit sweaters. Two choices: Irish, or junk from Latin America.

I discussed this with Tim - all my guitars, with the exception of the
'66 Strat, have wider than normal necks and I'm finding it difficult
to play as more nodes appear in the fingers.

The Strat is worth some bucks, so I generally don't play it - same
thing with my autographed Country Gentleman.

Thus, switching over to bass.

Speaking of guitars, I just spent an hour or so goofing around playing my
Taylor acoustic through the Leslie speaker system. Nice sound. The Taylor
has the new acoustic type pickup that has a distinctive sound and the Leslie
adds a unique touch when you hit the foot pedal to spin the horn.

Prop 13 gutted the Calif. schools. Turned them from some of the best to
the worst in the nation.
