Driving cross country with expired tags - how to avoid police?
Once had a guy that had a green 64 Chevy and a blue 64 Chevy (same models).
Bought one set of registration plates each year for the green Chevy (back when Maryland issued metal plates each renewal.) Put one plate on the rear of the green Chevy and the other on the back of the blue Chevy. He screwed a friend and the friend told me. Waited to find him driving the blue Chevy. He went to jail for that one plus a big fine (unregistered, uninsured, fraudulent use of registration and other offenses.) Paybacks can sure be hell (the lesson here is don't screw with your friends.) No the lesson here is that one can take advantage of one's connections to retaliate against one's friends (not even enemies). That's what real friendship is all about |

Santa Fe is good for that, too. And a nicer town. SF is pretty, but the handicrafts (and restaurants) will be more expensive there than in Albuquerque's Old Town. But, don't you get what you pay for? I'm willing to pay a little more for better quality. KM The thing is, as long as you buy genuine Indian made jewelry (the stuff sold in NM and AZ anyway, where the fake stuff is not allowed to be marketed as Indian Made) you will probably be getting the same product from the same craftspeople in Abq., SF, or Taos (and in AZ shops as well). SF shops (and to a lesser degree, Taos shops) have to charge more than Abq., because land and shop rents are more expensive there than in Abq. Shops that have particularly high quality goods but aren't in Old Town include Bien Mur at I-25 and Tramway, Maisel's on Central Ave. Downtown, and Gertrude Zachary on Lomas a short way east of Old Town. The Santo Domingo Trading Post in Old Town sells a lot of "old pawn" jewelry with a lot of age and character. Some SF restaurants are very nice indeed, but there are also good places to eat in Abq. and Taos, and in some small towns you've never heard of like Chimayo and Espanola. It helps to know a local to scout the good stuff out of course. Well, if I'm to choose an eatery or a place to shop, I'll pick Santa Fe and Taos any day over Albuquerque, if only for the ambience! :-) Visiting big cities just doesn't cut it compared to the alternative! KM Just remember you'll be paying extra for ambience--anywhere. Incidentally, the reason to visit SF foodwise is the local variations on New Mexican food; the Vietnamese and other Asian restaurants in Abq are better than those in SF. Hint: assuming it's not raining (it's the monsoon season in NM right now through sometime in September), the rooftop bar and restaurant at Coyote Cafe in SF has a lot more atmosphere than the inside restaurant, and the food costs a bit less. Corn on the cob with red chile powder is very good. Check this site out for reviews of New Mexico restaurants, including Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque and other towns: http://www.nmia.com/~thriller/ Gil doesn't drink alcohol, so doesn't review margaritas, beers and other drinks. -- Pat O'Connell [note munged EMail address] Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but footprints, Kill nothing but vandals... |

There are busibodies everywhere... Messing with one's friends or not
doing so does not guarantee whether or not someone will be ****ed off to retaliate.

I've been told that the damage that did occur was directly the result of Edmonton. KM Banner Headline in the New Orleans News, Page B1. Edmonton Cops invade New Orleans and taser I-10. The road was TORTURED for 10 hours!!!! THOSE *******S ! ! ! ! |

"Steve" wrote in message skeptical. Anyway, Toronto does NOT get "much warmer" in the summer than it does in Hawaii. A few days may have highs into the 90's, but Hawaii is consistently warmer (and more humid, to boot). complex to freeways entering greater San Francisco. To digress, Hawaii is definitely not more humid than Toronto or any other city near the Great Lakes. The only time you'll find high humidity in Hawaii is on a hot day right after it rains. The tradewinds blow humidity from the islands out to sea. In the summer, humidity in any city near the Great Lakes can be oppressive even at four in the morning. Heavy humidity in Hawaii might last an hour at most. Ask anyone you know who has visited Hawaii if they felt the humidity was oppressive. Even people from arid places like southern California and Arizona look puzzled and say, "No, not compared to New Orleans!" KM I'll vouch for that. Hawaii is much easier to take than Northwest Ohio in the summer. Marsha/Ohio |

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 Have you listened to Bruce Springteen's tribute to Pete Seeger? Excellent music. Marsha/Ohio |

I agree, but I'm not one of them. Just reinforcing what I had said earlier
in the post in reference to driving without proper registration. "Sapphyre" wrote in message oups.com... There are busibodies everywhere...
