    Yeah. That's what really sucks. When they pretend it wasn't presented. Argue with it, disagree with, or refute it, but at least acknowledge it was frickin' posted.

    I noticed that. You and I have our disagreements about things, but one thing I've always respected is your research. It's a shame when it get's ignored.

    Not sure how far back you went in the thread, but I laid out some serious shizznit and he just over looks it all and pretends it doesn't exist and then misrepresents what I have said and props up strawmen. I don't think he even reads some of my longer posts, because he just kept saying the same things which I had already addressed.

    hahahaha. You have no idea. I try my best to remain calm and collect and continue to make well reasoned arguments backed by solid evidence. But it is everything I have to not just go crazy on the guy and start attacking him personally! My forehead is flat from all the banging.

    Good gracious! I just spent a few minutes strolling through that argument you are having with Catawba. You've got to be tired of banging your head against that wall...

    Gah! Here it is warming up to around 40 degrees. About a week ago the temp was around -15 with a windchill of about -25. :( I am so ready for warm weather. Almost all the snow has melted though.. so that's good. :)

    What's the temp out there? It has indeed been nice and warm around here for awhile now. My front door is east facing so when I open it in the morning I always get a blast of warm air off the driveway. I still have tomatoes growing in the garden. The clouds started to move in today, though. There is supposed to be a storm moving in sometime soon.

    Hehe. I swear every time I look at somebody's page there's your name. I was beginning to think you were the resident PI. The private eye. . .gor.

    I can't think of any books right off to recommend, but I'll think about and mention some if I think you may be interested in them.
    ScummyD
    Thanks. I'll check them out. Funny you mention Santa Barbara. That's where I'm from.

    Fiasco: The American Military Adventure by Thomas E. Ricks

    Haven't read Ricks' newer book The Gamble yet but did bother to watch Ricks' whole lecture about the book in Santa Barbara.

    Haha, do you have any good book suggestions I might be interested in?

    It started to get a little infected. I went to the doctor yesterday and got a script for a stronger antibiotic. It doesn't hurt or anything, just a major inconvenience. No more pictures, hehe.
