Perfume: The Story of a MurdererPosted By Darian Rachal |
Anybody see this 2.5 hour French made movie? It started yesterday at a local theater. Quite unusual.

French trainPosted By Darian Rachal |
I've often wondered why nothing like this exists in the US? Any thoughts or facts?

Utility Costs?Posted By Darian Rachal |
I am curious about what various people around the US pay for electricity. About 15 years ago I lived in a small town called Pineville, LA and paid about $.06-$.07/kwh, if I recall correctly.
Presently, I live across the river, in Alexandria, and the cost is approx. $.12/kwh.
My guess is that this is higher than the national average. I'll like to know what some of you pay.
Thank you,

Look what I saw while walking this evening.Posted By Darian Rachal |

It was circling low over the apartment complex and caught the attention of a small boy, as well. At first I thought it was a sea gull, but I'm probably 150 miles from the coast. I've never seen one of these before and it was quite a treat.

Astronomy Technology Today May issue?Posted By Darian Rachal |
Just curious as to whether anyone has received the May issue? I've been hoping it would show up in the mail this week. All I got was an Orion catalog today.

Ratings as reference?Posted By Darian Rachal |
I know someone has to register to read the Forums, but do they have to register to see our ratings?
The reason I am asking is that I am considering sending someone here to check my transactions as a reference.
It's just a no longer produced rocket kit, I mentioned on a rocket forum site, that he is interested in buying.

Interesting TSP PersonalitiesPosted By Darian Rachal |
It's been awhile since I've attended TSP, but one of the most memorable individuals I met out there was a fellow by the name of Roy, from Hobbs, New Mexico. His last name may have been Frasier. He used to set up a radio telescope, pretty much in the same location each year, not too far from the horse stables.
One thing that sticks in my mind was that he always wore one of those plastic pocket protectors, and he must hold the Guinness record for the number of pens crammed into that thing. It was a sight to behold. 8O
