RW> Actually, watching a movie with no dialogue and very little action is
RW> kinda boring for me. My mind wonders off to other things and I miss the
RW> movie anyway.
 
Things picked up considerably after "The Dawn of Man" sequence. 
I was fascinated by the ship Dr Floyd was on as it approached docking with
the space station and wondered to myself 'how are they going to do that?'
when the answer popped into my head.  Rotate the ship in sync with the
wheel.
 
RW> I havn't either. But I am particular.
 
Is it the smile that gets your attention?
 
RW> I always thought that music should be in the back ground, unless all I'm
RW> doing is listening to it. OTH, I can follow a good talk show while
RW> driving. OTH, when Nancy and I drove from SD to Phoenix, across the
RW> desert, we had Led Zepplin playing at full volume part of the way. She
RW> enjoys that more than I do.
 
I omitted the part where I have to turn the radio/CD player off when
backing up.  (-:  I especially had to do that to cut down on distractions
when I was backing up my 19' boat, which sat on a 21' trailer into the
driveway to park it on a slab I had made for it.  I no longer have that
boat.
 
RW> That reminds me. I need to take a look at Nancy's beemer. Her antenna
RW> doesn't do that anymore.
 
Where are you going to start?
 
RW> Oh, it isn't bad news, per se'...it's interesting because O'bama needs
RW> the permission of Congress to fire any IG...they're protected from such
RW> political manuevers in order to keep them from being intimidated. O'bama
RW> must give Congress a 'good' reason for wanting to fire him and Congress
RW> decides on whether or not the IG will be let go or not.
 
The way I understand the tiny portions I've read is that BO must give
Congress 30 days notice before doing something like that.
 
RW> The reason this particular IG was under O'bama's scrutiney was because
RW> this guy was investigating the Mayor of Sacramento and his misuse of
RW> election funds, etc.. O'bama got into it because that major is a friend
RW> of his, a former NBA star, Kevin Johnson. Since the IG is white, it'll
RW> probably come out as racist. BTW, Walpin is a former US Attorney who has
RW> prosecuted a lot of cases such as this.
 
That figures.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
