    Palomas and made from scratch enchiladas are an awesome combination

    Suggestions sir? I just really despise the whole Apple business plan. Jealous of it for sure, but nonetheless I don't subscribe to any of it. The nickel and dime me over time shit I just can't handle. That and having something that starts out slow already so that bloatware doesn't catch up to it is not an advantage. If you have to rip your shit clean periodically to "turbo" it that's fine. After I posted that last comment I actually stepped into the Apple store and played with a phone. The interface is nearly as slow as my nearly dead POS droid 2. If you test drive a 4g phone running the latest Droid software ANY of them will feel super snappy in comparison. I also truly think the Apple email program blows fucking goats. The Droid's isn't super slick either, but kills the Apple. I'd say the same about the internet experience also, but that is much closer to being a wash other than the Iphone just seems slow. Add to that the piss poor voice recognition as well and I actually don't understand why anyone would want one, applesuckers aside. Have no idea as a music or video server as I don't really use either. I'd bet its music interface is better, but I'd bet the opposite on the video experience just judging from its speed. May be the same or better though, I have no idea and don't use my phone for either. Priorities for me are: 1) Email 2) Phone 3) Internet 4) Anything else Android is the way to go. Especially if rooted and loaded with custom aftermarket firmware. Jailbroken iPhone could work also, but I wouldn't piss on Apple if they were on fire.

    Also, Audible.com is a fucking joke

    Simon & Schuster's eighteen CD audiobook version of Stephen King's Duma Key easily fits on two CD-R's with no perceptible loss in audio quality, in case anyone is curious.

    Being the overachiever I'm already finished; barring something showing up on the background investigation I'm golden.

    Some of the other new hires spent all day yesterday answering just the MMPI. I'm wondering how they'll get through general employment training if they're having that much difficulty already.

    Sorry, I calculated one way, not round trip. Round trip is ~1000 bucks wear and tear, so figure around 650 per for 2 and 325 per for 4.

    Do you mean learning or traveling? I was referring to travelling. I need to fly to Colorado this summer and its looking like the most reasonable and cheapest is about $433 round trip per person. It would be at least 2 of us and possibly 4. Driving we could split gas and be out $160 per for 2 and $80 per for 4. Tack on about 500 bucks for wear and tear but yeah you're still looking at 400 per for 2, 200 per for 4. ~2000 miles round trip split between 2-4 people is cake.

    Mine is connected to the Natural Gas...but of course, if it were only a propane tank I could burn through one in something like 5 hours. lol How do you like the natural gas in comparison to propane? I have cooked (some) and eaten food cooked off both, but have never done a fair comparison. J Not worrying about filling tanks is a major plus

    Pending psych evaluation, background investigation, and general employement testing I'm now a temporary general laborer for a contracting company out at the plant. Getting red badge clearance will really help with job seeking.
