Driving cross country with expired tags - how to avoid police?

... Steve wrote: You're right about the Prelude's speeds - he's wondering whether you went that fast, and while I've seen racers do about 110 on I-91 in Connecticut, 140 sounds above any speed I've ever witnessed on any highway, so I'm also skeptical. I've done 145 mph (where my car's limiter kicks in), but I was only able to sustain that speed for about 30 seconds. Even so, it was fun, wasn't it? :-) KM -- (-:alohacyberian:-) At my website there are 3600 live cameras or visit NASA, the Vatican, the Smithsonian, the Louvre, CIA, FBI or CNN, NBA, the White House, Academy Awards & 150 foreign languages Visit Hawaii, Israel and mo http://keith.martin.home.att.net/ |

KM You have pretty good recall, amigo. I didn't expect there to be too many people left around these days who would even know who Pete Seeger was. Just can't get away with anything in this group. sigh Actually, the lyrics to "Blowing in the Wind" were more a propos to my post, but I liked the title of "..Flowers.." better, even though it was an anti-war song. Sometimes you just have to fudge a little. LOL! There were a lot of anti-war songs that were my favorites. If they were good music, I liked them. After I posted my remarks, I went online and listened to Pete Seeger's rendition of "Where Have all the Flowers Gone?" (and a few other versions) and decided that I like the Peter, Paul and Mary version the best. I have all their albums, since the folk music of the 60s is my second favorite form of music. Those who aren't aware of the folk music of the 60s don't know what they're missing! ;-) KM -- (-:alohacyberian:-) At my website there are 3600 live cameras or visit NASA, the Vatican, the Smithsonian, the Louvre, CIA, FBI or CNN, NBA, the White House, Academy Awards & 150 foreign languages Visit Hawaii, Israel and mo http://keith.martin.home.att.net/ |

I'm not your lackey and suggest you do your own homework. Got Google? KM You're the one making the assertion. You clearly have no proof. This is the Usenet, I'm not interested in "proof". OK then, you're wrong. In no state is there a distinction drawn. I assert that. -- Steve Alpert MIT - B.S. (Eng.) '05, M.S. (Transp.) '06 http://web.mit.edu/smalpert/www/roads |

You're right. When he posted about having been to Toronto twice, arriving once in winter when the temperature was several degrees colder than the record cold, and then in the summer on a day when the temperature was several degrees warmer than the record high. What an amazing coincidence that each trip was not only a record setter, but exceeded current records. Then when he boasts about his highway speed I am reminded of the credibility gap. Then again, who knows if your assertions are true? Your M.O. has always been to ignore the point and pounce on some sideline trivia in order to derail the conversation into your desire to make personal attacks and get away from the issues under discussion. KM I pounced on sideline trivia??? LOL. You were the one who claimed to have landed in Toronto on a day when it was so extremely cold that it exceeded the record cold for the city, as confirmed by a site with record high and low temperatures. Then the next time you arrived it was so hot that it it exceeded the city's record high. What an incredible coincidence that on two visits to Toronto you happened to have been there to see new record high and low temperatures set, but not recorded. Perhaps if you object to personal attacks you might try to keep your stories believable. |

you seem to be vague... The lives camears sites you provide is no more than a novelty with not much real use to it. And what, pray tell, are "lives camears"? |

i guess you might be from New-York and you voted for Bush. When the Bush's are in power the price of gazolines hits record high. It will cost a lot in fuel cost to drive to Louisiana. Are you speaking to anyone in particular, or the whole world. And what are "gazolines"? |

"Alone" is not something that I've *ever* felt on that part of I-15.

Driving cross country with expired tags - how to avoid police?
It seems to me I heard somewhere that Hatunen wrote in article
: On Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:32:09 -0400, Dave Smith wrote: sechumlib wrote: Wrong, wrong, wrong. Even YOU should be able to perceive that "wreckless", if such a word existed, would signify "without a wreck". "Reckless", to the direct contrary, signifies careless actions that COULD lead to a wreck, in the worst case. Thus, the two "words" are near-antonyms, rather than having nearly the same meaning.\ Around here, the charge is Careless Driving. Hm. There's a difference between reckless and careless; the former connotes a willful disregard of the consequences. I reckon that about covers it. BTW, "wreckless" has been around for many years, dictionaries or no. -- Don Kirkman |
