Certainly you should be able to find something better to do with your time?

Does PA pay you some special "stir things up" fee when things get a little quiet around here?
Shhhhhhh...what the hell do you think that envelope is for that arrives with your name on it every few months, Vic?

Damm. I always just assumed it had Anthrax in it.

Actually a lot of us know as it happens when you deal with horses. You run or move out of way if possible. You can also hold out or wave your arms or otherwise make yourself something the horse tries to swerve to avoid, but that's something you learn to do because it can go against the instinct to run/move. The very last reaction would be to kneel in front of them.

Maybe. It's too bizarre to believe the story at face value. Maybe they were trying to protect his privacy if he's really in trouble (like an addiction or suicidal).

No dude, you are the one who is stretching reality here.

My explanation makes a heck of a lot more sense than yours.

And by the way, if a field of horses is running at me, I am sure as heck going to get out of the way...as would anyone else with an ounce of self preservation.

You guys are complete loons IMO. The story given was completely plausible and in fact true. Believe what you want.

And wind speed and direction (at SFO airport) and RH%.

Oh and my algorithm says the guy in question weighs 79 pounds.

What city might that be? You live in one of the wealthiest counties in America... "wonderfully diverse melting pot" from your side of the bay....not the side I live on.

Ok.

Are you suggesting I move so you can feel better about my posts and opinions?

Or are you simply auditioning for a spot in PA's tri monthly "stir it up" stipends?

Not everyone living in Cali has a substance abuse problem that's something those living elsewhere have been spreading since the 60's.
