I've had a PO BOX for years. Our local postmaster (perhaps other places do it also) Allows Box holders
to use the post office physical address, then I add a line says "Unit 123" (my box #) . The value of this is that it
solves the problem of many shippers who do not deliver to PO boxes. FedX and UPS just drop boxes
off at the PO address...
Another bonus is the PO installed a large number of keyed package Boxes. So, you get a key in your
small PO Box and without standing inline, can receive your package, even when the front desk is closed
after hours. A great system! Certified & things to sign for are still a line wait. However, the folks working
at my PO win a "BEAR FOOT" award every year for their super service. 99611 Kenai, Alaska :)

Interesting BUT! If electric cars are so efficient, so exhaust clean, so cheap to maintain, so cheap to operate.....then why are they being subsidized by both the US and many State governments? The deeper look is.....a majority are bought and owned by people who have $$$$. While the rest of us provide the cash through taxes for the subsidies. Start by removing ALL the government cash rebates, and the electric Co rate reductions......then observe the real economic picture. Some short concerns. 1) Quiet? yes so quiet the vision handicapped cannot tell an electric car is passing thru a PEX crossing. 2) Fuel tax for roads? Last time I drove there were at least 50x more lite cars vs big trucks. Why not charge MORE for electric power to the electric car users to help pay for the road upkeep? 3)Winter? when the temps are down and the daylight is short....part of the battery is used to keep you WARM and HEADLIGHTS...MPKw effect? 3) Vehicle Maintenance? I own two cars one with 150,000 miles the other with 120,000 miles. When the usage for you new electric car reach those numbers we can compare maintenance bills. 4) Emissions? The EPA just slapped the hands of VW for NOx emissions for their diesel cars (42+MPG). What is the largest source of NOx? Power plants. Just because the pollution is not at your personal tail pipe...you are still guilty. 5) Major power interruptions? rain, snow, sleet, earth quakes, tornados, hurricanes, mudslides stop electric power supplies (many times for weeks) at your home...try filling up your electric car. Bottom line.....the technology should not be forced. Electric cars along with subsidized solar panels along with bird killing wind generators will have their day when the technology makes economic sense. To try & force it before that happens is poor use of anyone's limited cash resources.

download just fine....great contrast and cloud shadow a added shade :) of interest

jerry,

I am voting on you having your own section in UHH

You posted 7 of 9 today I opened two of the nine...
zero of yours.

must feel like your own Pokemon game.

You have an alternative.....it's called Facebook.

If not your own section at least start your postings with "Jerry here"
so I can avoid clicking.

No disrespect, just speaking.

Uncle Bill....I ran across Merle in Mexico years ago. a little place called El Retio (sp?) I was staying a beach Cabana....Merle dropped by and spent a nite of music and beer.....always has been my favorite C&W artist. missed by all.......

SAD!!!! 1) each working HH is paying to the $7,000 Subsidy and often subsidizing their cost of KWs!!!!! 2) on the cold days and the hot days your 200mi/charge drops... oh and it drops at night also......it's called battery power. So be comfortable and see the road and stop to charge more often. A rich person's toy.... sucking on the the welfare t_t. Popular Bad economics for the country.

to Ken from the show me state....

the group is all warmed up


SHOW US your best work....and let's
get all the real critics to rip on your "art"

I'm going to guess they will be kind, however,
not sold that represent the BEST.......

OK a 6 year old and 4year old????


what if you found out a wonderful photo
was made by a 5 years old?

(Maybe not too difficult given the equipment of today.)

We can solve all this please only submit prints
made from 8x10 B&W negatives...and only of landscapes.

And forget that variety is the SPICE of life......

Wait minute!

this is the NON-photograph chit-chat.

Want call a foul on ART?

Then get people to stop writing about computers
Then get people to stop sending jokes
Then get people to stop sharing life view

Then get ready for a whole bunch of US TO LEAVE....

I like it! I'm a lover of all creativity, in any form. What does not move me....I walk on....quietly.....

This is creative in a powerful way....keep at it...it moved me.

That would be C&W Haggard & Willie & other outlaws :)

Thanks hogs
the leads & advise is welcome.
I think my knowledge base is inflated a little
more and I will now start on the task.
I'm attaching two fotos 1 B&W & one color
it is gratifying that Kodak produced products
that, when well cared for, help us see history.

I scanned some 50 year old 35mm transparent slides of commercial fishing and my home village Egegik in Alaska. Our Native Corp is starting to work on a history book. I'm not skilled at doctoring dust/flaws in the jpeg files. Anyone have a good experience with companies who touch-up digital images? Your input for a firm nor too pricy with quality work..appreciate it.

Let's see

GM cheated knowingly and KILLED people

how much was that fine? and how many
GM people went JAIL?

Opps I forgot GM was an OBAMA company

I use an iPhone not to look cool, but to have access to copy all contacts and calendar appointments for my array of Apple computers. If you can live w/o WiFi and not take the on-line web on the phone I get by with ATT Go-Fone program for $100/year. Sure does work for me. (250min every 90 days @ 10 cents/min.
