My understanding is that it is an either/or situation. IE, IF you
choose NOT to do the body scan, THEN you must get the pat down. One or
the other, no exceptions, or you do not fly. It may be that something
different is happening at Logan. Security there certainly has had its
problems over the years. I will be coming and going out of there in
the next couple of weeks so I'll get a look see myself to compare with
what is done in SeaTac.

I watched that video you posted. Those 2 Blonds really worked that
story up into a big deal. But if I am not mistaken the story was
covered by the Non-Fascist media weeks ago. By the way, it is pretty
normal for countries to weigh in on court cases that they believe
effect their citizens. The US does it all the time, and it is normal
diplomatic practice for the country where the court is located, to
facilitate access. The USA does it because we want the same access
when the interests of our citizens in other countries are involved.
You may not have been aware of this but you were also protected by
such arrangements formalized for military personnel in what are known
typically as "Status of Forces" agreements.

Real reporters and adult media take account of such things even when
it is a slow news day. But then they are not controlled by a foreign
robber baron, intent on overthrowing a sitting President thru
fostering a seditious Fifth Column of hecklers, impatient for Daddy
President to make all the problems go away right now.

Come on, Dave. You know better than that. Status of Forces agreements
were meant to protect U.S. Forces from the courts of the country they
were serving in, *up to a point*. If you assaulted someone, or
committed some other crime, you were tried by the military and not that
country's court. This has nothing to do with SoF.

BTW, I know of a CT chief (my supervisor in Japan) who killed a
Japanese citizen while DUI. He was tried in a Japanese court and
served 5 years in a Japanese prison.

Dave I think your comments make some of my points as per the Arizona
situation. IE that it is SOP diplomatic procedure that Faux News is
hyping.)

And in a more humorous vein, Hey since Rupert's screaming Blonds of
Faux News are always pointing at our roofers, their office cleaners
and gardeners as "INVADERS," (after they pay them off the books of
course) , maybe a Status of Forces Agreement is exactly what Arizona
needs. (Laugh, it's a lame assed joke.;+)))

And do not assume that folks of my persuasion do not agree that the
border situation has needed fixing for a long time. And lets be
honest, it is time to take this work out of the hands of the beltway
bandits. But that is not a lib/con issue, and attempts to make it that
should cause you to at least question the motives of the Rupert's
Rightard Fifth Column.

The colors were very nice. Not as nice as New England, but still very
nice. They didn't turn at near the same as in NE. The dogwoods were
first to peak with their deep reds, then the sour gums in bright reds.
Maples next with beautiful yellows, oranges and reds, then the oaks.
White oaks in a beautiful burgandy red, while the other oaks are their
normal brown. The view from our sunroom was breathtaking. My youngest
daughter and her family visited last week-end and the oooohs and aaaahs
were aplenty. When the deer showed up, including the 6 point buck, the
kids were amazed. They had never been so close to deer before, never
mind feeding them apples and corn.

ONE bedroom? Where the hell are we supposed to sleep? d;o)

If it's anything like your little place near Boone, I am sure it will
be very comfy, and anyplace Rachel is at will be warm.

I have a few geezer streams we can visit. Some good, some not so good,
but it's fishin'. Not as good as what you would have in Gra-ham County.

Will be in Mass tomorrow and in the hospital Dec 8 for hip replacement.
Next summer I'll have the right one done, then I won't need old geezer

O.k., I KNOW what you're going to think about this idea.......but you
should just go ahead and build it yourself.

Seriously. It's been done by lamer asses than yours. :)

Leave the serious foundation work to professionals.....unless you plan
to build the whole thing on stilts (for whatever reason), this you
really can do yourself. Also, building codes in most of America these
days require that licensed professional plumbers and electricians at
least sign off on their respective areas of exptertise, but most of
the work can be done by the home handyman. Yeah, I know, you are the
prototypical "un"handyman.....but there are many excellent books and
online references available these days, not to mention an awesome
array of individuals willing to help at least so far as to give free
advice.....some of which, to be sure, is worth what you pay for
it.....but you'll be amazed at how fast you learn to smell bad
smells.. And the great thing about building your own is that it is
inherently a slow process.....plenty of time to learn as you go. The
cardinal rule is research, research, research; then set a realisitic
time frame (well within the lifespan of the typical do-it-yourself
newby), then double that (still eminently doable), and then go on the
shopping spree of a lifetime at the local equivalent of The Home
Depot, Lowes, or what have you.

Not an unwarranted reaction, counselor. And one is pleased and
relieved to see that the handwriting on the wall is not necessarily
and always mistaken for the random scrawlings of some deranged
gasoline huffing teenaged delinquent graffitist.

Nevertheless, having spent some time in the company of the accused
offender, I can attest that he can be taught (if he does not already
know) which end of a rifle to hold against his shoulder prior to
discharging the weapon (assuming no self-inflicted wound is
desired).....and what is a nail but a projectile weapon writ small,
ainna?

Besides, as aforementioned, there are numerous and often enough
exquisite texts available to guide the neophyte through the
labarynthine nuances of home construction, and one assumes that even
in the great state of Nawth Cackalacky the local bar association
grants basic literacy to be one of the sterling characteristics
posessed (in spades, if you will) by all of its members.....of which
the defendant is (at least as far as we have been led to believe or
could determine on our own hook) but an upstanding (if not necessarily
outstanding.....we have no professional opinion justifiable to
erstwhile critics.....) member.

Hence, while no endeavor known to (or invented by) man (or woman, for
that matter) is inherently, inevitably, and incontestibly inmmune to
some level of risk (however minimal or dismissible, by whatever
bull**** standard one cares to apply), we remain steadfast in our

actually, i've been considering some type of participatory venture with
more experienced (quite a large collection of folks at this moment)
craftsmen. problem has been mainly, or completely, geographical
distance, excessive cost estimates given by the "locals", and my own sloth.

despite economy and financial uncertainty, including my own, it's past
time to do something. i figure i'll begin slow on snowbird with the
1-bedroom, leaving the acres at england branch for my second effort, and
having the first go on the snowbird lot. have to build something with a
bit of architectural interest, just for my own aesthetic, but, as i said
earlier, small. i've got the susanka small house ideal in mind...get
the snowbird lot cleared for a 30 or 40 x 40 foundation, get septic tank
and well permitted and installed, find a good foundation guy, build
foundation - cement block. that's 2011. whew, i'm tired already.
that'll give me a year to practice with those pointy things and hammers
before starting the frame. raise high the roofbeams, it's a perfect day
for bananafish!!

and when construction begins, safety and proper building will require
wayno to remain east of the catawba. i'll give due notice.

Sloth is easy enough to maintain under any circumstances, at least by
those of us with decades of practice. Recollecting the distances
involved in your case, I'd be inclined to remain reclined. :)

despite economy and financial uncertainty, including my own, it's past
time to do something. i figure i'll begin slow on snowbird with the
1-bedroom, leaving the acres at england branch for my second effort, and
having the first go on the snowbird lot. *have to build something with a

Was unfamiliar with "susanka." Googled. Interesting ideas. I was
particularly struck by: "Not So Big doesn't mean small. It means not
as big as you thought you needed. But as a rule of thumb, a Not So Big
House is approximately a third smaller than your original goal but
about the same price as your original budget." Not exactly the sort
of language I'd use to convey the idea of a good deal. Generally,
smaller should be cheaper, no? Even

that's 2011. whew, i'm tired already.


It'll get easier with experience. There will be all sorts of
aggravations, to be sure, but eventually you'll be working with a
broader and more refined knowledge base. Makes a world of
difference. Meanwhile, thus far, you've got somebody else doing the
heavy work.

Exactly! However, as fine, necessary and useful a tool as a hammer
is, I'd recommend getting electricity in as soon as possible (or
investing in a gasoline run generator), and purchasing a good sized
compressor and a couple of pneumatic nail guns. HUGE time and labor
saver. But be SURE to get some expert guidance and lots of practice
with the nailers BEFORE starting on the house; dangling from a rafter
is a truly bad way to begin the learning process.

One suspects that compliance will not be terribly difficult to
enforce. :)

One is tempted to suggest that remuneration in keeping with the
enormity of contribution would require at least a feather bed.....and
breakfast in it. :)

Debatable. 45 mph on hairpin curves CLEARLY labeled as safe at no more
than 35.....on hairpin curves.....in coulee country.....in the
dark.....on ice covered roads.....in an unfamiliar vehicle.....with an
unfamiliar driver.....in the dark.....has got to come close. :(

the good news is that no chainsaws were involved. if you've never
been there, trust me.....that is GOOD news indeed.
