    No, I appreciate it as a form of art, and consider my self as an artist...
    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

    And we sue to collect if our fee isn't paid in 60 days. Then we report you to the major credit bureaus!

    Crank away!

    I think "regular" is the optimum phrase. Being an irregular Don Juan is pretty miserable. Nearly as bad as an irregular meat sprocket.

    Pay Phone? That hobby will get real expensive real quick.

    Cell Phone? Damn! It'll take my P.I. an extra 30 seconds to get the subscriber information on that.

    Anonymous Pre-paid Cell Phone? Don't make any calls from your home, or we'll find you before bedtime. Call more than once, and we'll just block your number. Of course, you can always keep buying new Anonymous Pre-paid Cell Phones. However, that hobby will also get real expensive real quick.

    Many of the best P.I.s are former federal agents. They're worth every penny of the fees they charge!

    Of course, you could use your test set and just clip on your neighbor's line and make the calls. You can aggravate Ken and your neighbor at the same time.

    Neighbor as cops drag him away in handcuffs: "But I didn't call anyone. I swear. It wasn't me."

    Cop: "Sure buddy, Caller ID. Every hear of it?"

    If you have to ask him for his number, you will be caught for sure.

    Well this winter I am going to build a computer desk with hutch, a bench with storage for by the door, and a catch-all table to put the mail, keys etc. on. Then the normal snow shoveling and ice removal from the driveway and patio. Not to mention picking up the dog's crap in the yard, and catching up on plenty of sleep before the baby comes next Spring. So I'll be pretty busy this winter.
