Possum

Posted By Paul Gustafson

They are pretty scroungy animals up close. Big teeth. And I've never seen one "play possum" -- they snarl and show their teeth instead.

Mexican Coca Colas better?

Posted By Paul Gustafson

First they took the narcotic out, then the sugar, now the caffeine. sad

I have an old cola bottle that lists as an ingredient "coca leaves (de-cocaineized)."

Have the results been accurately measured with something like PemPro?

I bet Michigan fans are asking...

Posted By Paul Gustafson

It's interesting. The fan base and the blogs are very positive, even at 1-2 with 6 turnovers last week. The fans can see a dramatic improvement week to week. Despite the loss to ND in a very winnable game, UM had nearly 400 yds in offense, the qb is starting to get it, and it looks like they have a pretty good freshman running back. It'll be an ugly year, but with the excellent recruiting class RichRod has coming in next year tailored to his offense things are definitely looking up.

Ohio State fans, OTOH, are in meltdown mode after a poor performance against OU and a humiliating defeat at the hands of USC. Life is sweet! smile

And WVa fans, well...

Nagler 22 versus Nagler 20

Posted By Paul Gustafson

I have both and don't see a difference in the view that can't be explained by the difference in fl alone. I would make my decision based on ergonomics and focal length. I don't wear glasses to observe and still find the 22 more comfortable to use, but YMMV.
