He and I spent several hours on a photo shoot, prowling the city where I work. And he's not at all the way you describe him. As I recall, Bowser worked his way through college as a photographer. He was a regular contributor to the Shoot-In and served a couple of terms running it. Have we ever seen any of your work? Bob |

Well, yes, except I've read that the phrase "without mass carnage" didn't always apply on the Autobahns. Bob |

KPH or MPH? 140 KPH = 87 MPH 140 MPH = 225 KPH On the unrestricted Autobahn there is only a recommended limit of 130 KPH. However, there are no prosecutions for exceeding that recommendation, unless other negligent driving is cited. On urban roads the limit is 50 KPH (31 MPH), and rural non-autobahns the limit is 100 KPH (62 MPH). http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...eichen_393.svg -- Regards, Savageduck |

They had no speed limits and the Federal government, of course, had to stick their nose in it and give them a choice - enact a speed limit or no highway funding. So, they did enact a speed limit along with a fine of $5.00 and no points. |

So, they did enact a speed limit along with a fine of $5.00 and no points. You cannot have it both ways. The State had a choice, and made its decision. I give money to the Salvation Army because I believe they do a lot of good for a lot of people. I also give to other organizations, because I want to help encourage their activities. If somehow the Tea Party changed its views, I certainly would help them financially. I have not taken a survey, but I think there are hundreds of thousands of moderates who would give the Tea Party money, if they changed their views. BTW: I do not understand how you can support a political party that advocates invasion of privacy. Condoning video taping an opposing candidate's wife in a hospice is nothing short of obscene. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/05/22/two-more-arrests-in-cochran-photo-probe-in-mississippi/ -- PeterN |
