If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Got to love CO, but the mountains gotta make ya wonder. What is so deep and how can it push up the grounds so high to make the mountains...
If you draw a line down the center of Washington, Oregon and California all the area along the coast is primarily democrat and the Eastern portion is Republican...........see where I am going with this.........
The one thing I know is the estimate for causalities if it is anywhere near what we estimate for the bay area, when it is hit by "the big one", is a load of crap. We figure when the big one comes to the SF Bay Area the low estimate is 35,000 and this would be dwarfed by what they are talking about.
