    They have already modified bovine diets to cut methane emissions - no beans for you! Gas-X, it's not just a good idea - it's the law!

    As I've said any times, they should, but again, two (or more) wrongs never make a right.

    Ryan, could you please explain your reasoning that a driver in such a situation bears no responsibility? Thanks.

    You asked how hit and run applies to Sloppy. It doesn't.

    I was responding to this illogical statement from Stephan:

    "And as Drake put it, because you know that this is a possibility, you value driving on the freeway more than you value life."

    If one were to value their freeway driving more than life, then that would be someone who would be liable to commit hit and run, were they to hit and kill someone.

    That would be someone with very different values than you or I.

    Maybe this "UN Agenda 21" stuff I'm seeing referenced has some validity. It IS far easier to manage people in cities, rather than rural areas, isn't it?

    I see more and more obstacles to people building in rural areas, accessing public lands.

    I remember riding in CA in the late 60's, today isn't even a shadow...

    One of the crazier policies to me is not allowing motorized/mechanized fire-fighting equipment in designated "wilderness" areas, even if the fire started outside the wilderness boundary, will destroy natural habitat, and threatens firefighters' lives.

    Insane.

    BG, there's lots of mountain homes/land in foreclosure or up for taxes in Prescott, Williams and Flagstaff if you want to escape BB and the desert heat. You sure are welcome!

    BTW, when Mom and Dad were married in BB, he was running the since-razed Army R&R camp.

    Great post on the "Mex, next AG" thread..
  9. Drake- I hear you on what to wear in the heat. As far as breaks, for some reason, when I post on one computer, it eliminates my paragraphs and just runs the piece as one giant paragraph. Other computer doesn't, and thsi also happens on another site I post on, so it must have something to do with the version of base programming I use and how it is interpretted. Anyway, I just wanted folks to see some real world truth and ideas on how to be safe without having to pony up for the latest zoot suit that really will only by them 2 more seconds for the extra 300 bucks. You have to approach this with best bang for the buck, in my opinion. Most off road racers are budegt racers, not members of the McMillions or Herbst trusts.

    I never wear anything but cotton on airplanes, and a good pair of shoes. 'Course livin' in the Sonoran, I don't own much poly - too hot!

    Hope you didn't mind my editing when I re-posted your excellent fire post. If you don't know where to put in paragraph breaks, just trow some in, its hard to read big blocks of copy.
