So... I guess I'd have to join the Corps in order to get that price, too? I might actually consider it, but I can't do pushups and smoke at the same time. And as for people maybe shooting at me... well, that's just out. I was Air Force, man - we sent our officers out to get shot at.
Man, I don't know what I'm going to do for bed wood. The yard I was at today was supposed to have okay prices, but I sure as hell didn't see any. I have a couple messages out to craigslist people; have to see what comes back. Other than that, I'm beginning to wonder if I need to drive to another state... or country, just to buy 8 stinking pieces of wood without taking out a mortgage?
As for the greeny types, I catch hell from 'em too for my non-smogged, gas chuggin' behemoth. I'd point out to them that a well maintained 40 year old vehicle is 1000x more "eco-friendly" than some piece of crap, rolling lithium leak that you have to replace every five years... but they'd never be able to do the math - the incense fumes have got to their brains.
