OT: Just leased a real office

Thanks.

None of it's obsolete, just well-aged. I just got a Mantis microscope ($1300, but cheaper than new eyeballs). I do have a few broken things if you want to take them and fix them up. ;)

Here's my current lab equipment list--I had to update it to send to the insurance human today.

LOL If every tree would blow over or get struck by lightning there wouldn't be any trees left! Trees simply need maintenance like cutting away old branches and they need replacing after a few decades. And trees can be useful. I have a big tree in my front garden to block the sun in the summer in order to keep the house cool.

T intersections? Why???

-- Joe

When we first moved to this house we had to take down a huge tree a year or two later that had been mortally wounded by the builders. It cost enough money that I got p*ssed off and, for a while, counted each tree as a four digit liability, not to mention the gooey crap that they drop on cars and tons of leaves every fall, and big branches that break and damage things during windstorms etc... but integrated over time it's really not that bad and it's really nice on a warm summer day to have leafy deciduous trees overhead with birds and cicadas chirping and buzzing away. I don't think I'd like living in a new development with just shrubs and saplings. Had to take a couple small ~6-8" trunk ones down last year (too close to the house), and trim some big branches that the $#($#$ racoons were using to get onto the roof, but I did that myself.

All the qi will leak out.

More seriously, do you really want car headlights in your windows all the time, and perhaps visiting if they have a brake failure? As a kid I had a friend who lived at a T intersection where a concession road intersected with a more major road, and downhill from a quarry. The gravel trucks were often very poorly maintained in those days (regulation was nowhere near as strict as now) and after a few 'visits' by trucks with brake failures the town installed a rather substantial crash barrier that is still there)

I guess I didn't remember that area as well as I'd thought (it's been almost

20 years since we left NY). ;-)

On a sunny day (Sat, 21 May 2011 07:54:57 -0400) it happened Spehro Pefhany wrote in :

LOL, Many years ago I lived in Amsterdam (Bijlmer) top floor. In the evening I had *plane* headlines shining into the kitchen every now and then, approach path to Schiphol airport.

I one day discussed with someone how much time it would take to leave the place if they came in too low, we concluded it was impossible to get away. I moved house, and a few years later an Israeli cargo 747 flew into one of the flats in that area. :-) Killed a lot of people, and same after symptoms for those people for depleted uranium (1) that burned as in the twin towers.

So, what is a few cars in your living room.... :-)

Trees have a life-cycle, and getting blown over or struck by lightning is one of the ways that they depart this life. New saplings are growing up all the time to replace them - and removing unwanted saplings one of those it chores that tree-tenders have to attend to.

9A is Saw Mill River Road, not to be confused with the Saw Mill Parkway. Pay attention, now. ;)

Seriously, in a place where all our roads are named after rivers, why are we always surprised when there's flooding?

Anywhere in Long Island is in the "you can't get there from here" category, at least at rush hour or on summer weekends.

And you get honked at if you aren't doing at least 85mph on the LIE. I saw a guy blow past a police cruiser at a lot more than that. Cop wasn't fussed by that at all and didn't speed up for the pursuit.

On I10W just east of El Paso, where all those dips in the road are, I topped a rise and passed a TX highway patrolman at 120. He just smiled... knowing full-well that my heart had stopped ;-) ...Jim Thompson

The airports are on Long Island too, so it isn't as bad as all that. Get a GPS with traffic info--it'll save your tail.
