I think the weird part of the movie was when they showed the apes with
clubs jumping up and down and flailing the ground with them. Right in
front of that black column...

 RW>> I havn't either. But I am particular.

 RN> Is it the smile that gets your attention?

That and watching the eyes; do hers flutter and look away or does she meet
my eyes full on. The ones who don't look away are more attractive.

Can't dance and chew gum at the same time, eh...

 RN> Where are you going to start?

First to see if there is power to the antenna motor when you turn on the
radio. If so, then the motor ground and if needed, the motor itself.

Yeup. And his notice can't be, because I lost faith in his work. BO has to
show incompetence or a failure to do his job.

 RW>> The reason this particular IG was under O'bama's scrutiney was
 RW>> because this guy was investigating the Mayor of Sacramento and his

 RW>> major is a friend of his, a former NBA star, Kevin Johnson. Since
 RW>> the IG is white, it'll probably come out as racist. BTW, Walpin is a

 RN> That figures.

BTW, Walpin is your age...he doesn't need this job, he just responded to
the call when GW asked him to come back to work last year.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
