   actually, the first time I ever heard of anyone doing the indoor   
   carbon monoxide poisoning thingy was in Raleigh NC back in 1996   
   right after hurricane Fran blew past.  I shook my head in total   
   disbelief.  those dumb southern city people took their charcoal   
   grills inside.  to make matters even worse, it was not even that   
   cold since it was september.  then a few years later Raleigh NC   
   did it again when an ice storm turned off the electricity.   
   double duh!

   two out west friends of mine, one is a Country Boy who lives in   
   what I call the Oregon OutBack.  the other, a digit head in Seattle.   
   I thought I'd split a rib LOL the night Oregon got pissed at   
   Washington and said "hell you'd not even have a state had it not   
   been for Oregon carving off a small piece of itself and giving it   
   to ya, it was the Oregon territory YA KNOW!"  lot of campfire   
   stories with those two.

   Google Earth, cool nifty toy.  I still LOL at how one in this group   
   denied how Google had managed to obtain that much bandwidth on the   
   SatNet. yep a pure insinuation leaning towards the implication of   
   how I had not an inkling of what I was speaking about and just short   
   of clear innuendo making an attempt at saying I was lying.  she never   
   did apologize, but then I did not really expect an apology.

   thank goodness, it's not walmart flannel.  I rather dislike that   
   cheap inferior foreign imitation flannel.

   you have a nice day.  I'm having a nice day and should   
   not be the only one to have a nice.
