Shipping cost vs reliability

Posted By Darian Rachal

Bill, I've gotten very good service shipping items USPS over the years. The only time I've used another service is when USPS was more expensive.

Texas Goes To 85MPH Speed Limit

Posted By Darian Rachal

Rod Kaufman said:

Texas has raised its speed limit in some areas to 85MPH. That will increase road safety, increase gas mileage and decrease wear and tear on their cars as well as teach their young'uns a thing or two about the rules of the road, don't you think?
Not only that, but now they can have more buffalo burgers with all that livestock they're going to peel off the windshields. Beef, er ah I mean road kill, it's what's for dinner!
Rod, Don't know if you've driven out in W. Texas very much, but some of those areas along I 10 are pretty desolate. 85 seems pretty reasonable out there, maybe not through Houston.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011 to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas."

from an official proclamation. The prayers went unanswered.
Robert, That's no more absurd than the garbage you'll hear coming out of the mouth of the 'Idiot in Chief' tommorrow night. sad

Glad to see Auburn get beat. They should have lost to UT State.

Musical Conferences

Posted By Darian Rachal

Lee, I guess unless something starts really affecting the SEC, I don't give the matter much thought. I know there are "other" conferences out there wink , but teams outside the SEC are just teams that may or may not have some relevance to the national title. What conference they happen to be in is irrelevant, from my perspective.

my computer or astro mart site??

John, Yesterday I typed a fairly lengthy response to someone on the Forums. When I attempted to post it I got "web page cannot be found" message. That was the only time that has happened to me, but I didn't feel like retyping the response. Maybe I'll get around to it today.
