    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Used to be Boston, now out in San Diego. Weather is better in San Diego, but fewer coin shows. So it's a toss up.

    As of a about 1 year ago there was a Bob's on Main street in Medford. I've never gone in, but my wife has and she said they made a good Italian sub.

    many years ago a forum member who's ID escapes me created a "Location Map" thread of all forum members. if you gave him your City or zipcode he'd enter it onto the map and a red dot would mark the location. some areas, such as larger cities were one big, red blob, other places looked really scattered. I think you could hover your mouse pointer on a dot to see the forum member.

    does anyone have access to that?? I think the member may have been Lanlord.

    Lived there (Harvey actually) for two years, mid 1969 to mid 1971. I gained 30 pounds eating beignets, oysters and shrimp and drinking Dixie beer. I think I went to 23 Mardi Gras parades in a 10 day period in 1970.

    School taxes in Ga. are not applied evenly. Much are paid by property owners. I would wager most Ga. property owners pay enough school tax in their lifetime to send a platoon of kids to school. So you like being taxed into the grave? Only a California liberal could make a statement like that! >:)

    All GA counties don't work that way but when your county officials are fiscal conservatives and don't through money to the wind they don't need the tax money from those of us whose children have been out of school for over thirty years.

    Actually, there was a gold panning championship in a town just north of me in early august. I was swamped with work and unable to attend, unfortunately. I would love to give it a shot.

    I was in Northern Cali this summer at a placer gold mine for a week. Just awesome!

    As a midwesterner, our geology and the effects of the glaciers don't offer much in the way of placer gold. I would have to drive a couple of hundred miles to get to the first places that offer even tiny amounts.

    But in CA, don't you mostly gave to "pay to pan"? Or belong to the GPAA or some club? It's difficult to believe that most of the realistically good spots aren't already claimed?

    Sorry for your loss. I hope he recovers quickly and insurance allows him to quickly rebuild. I hope no one was hurt.

    @cameonut2011 - nobody hurt, thank God, but that tree torpedo that went through my father's bedroom wall shattered the bookcase next to his nightstand, only three or four feet from where he was sleeping! 'Twas a close shave indeed.

    Thanks for the geography lesson. I always thought northern Maine stuck upwards just a teeny bit more. Did not know that about WA. I have never been to the Pacific NW, but judging from photos and some stuff I've read, it seems like my kinda place. I'd love to see it someday. I like misty, woodsy kinda places* where it's cooler, even if the sun shines less. Despite having been born and raised in Florida, I'm not a sun worshiper.

    (*- Yes, I do realize that some of the Pacific NW is urban and not all of it is "misty, woodsy" as I imagine it.)
