I have to admit that I have succeeded with my ultimate handgun when I purchased my Full House Devel. As to Richards' other unfulfilled drams, they do not pertain to me as I am not a motorcyclist, nor a pilot, et al.

tracker: okay, I'll bite, what is meant by "the three Fs of economics"(?)

That feeling of want brings to mind something few folks have ever heard of but you may know of it, the BUGATTI  VEYRON.

Talk about economics!

ACP,

The rules of the three Fs of economics is that if it flies, f_ _ _ _ _ ,
or floats it is much cheaper to rent it than to own it; kind of like the two happiest days--buying it and selling it.

Given Tracker's rules, and although I really prefer the "Red Cars," have you got one I could rent?  8)

It does fly, but only on the ground, and I might have a red one in stock.  I will check.  Oh, but not to rent!   ;D    ;D

Why, yes, there's one in stock!

Yep.  He had dropped his cell phone and was reaching for it.

Was very calm about it, though.  Said, things like this happen.

Initially, he said a Crane flew across his windshield and he pulled a "Sullenberger."

Until reality set in.  He had to tell the truth.

The video was part of the reality check. It is hard to have any fun anymore.

I'm surprised he was just crusing at a slow pace.

The feeder on the Gulf Freeway in LaPorte is not exactly the Indy 500.

True.  I'm still surprised at his speed.

Maybe your cell phone comment explains it. I have noticed that people stay in place at a stop sign, stay stopped at a green light, or just drive slowly when they are talking on a cell phone at the wheel. 99% of people simply cannot multitask safely and effectively. A headset doesn't solve the problem because the brain is still distracted and divided from the tactile senses.

That's exactly right.  I see it all the time.  And now texting.  What's next?  I don't really want to go there.  

But back to the .45.....
