You share a birthday with Bill Clinton. Depending on who you are, that can be good or bad! cspec!

JIF chunky/crunchy...(is there such a thing as bad peanut butter?) Dropped all the good stuff except for a buffet 1 or 2x a week and lost 20 lbs. and my cholesterol returned to normal range without meds. Gotten away from PB lately. Used to do the English muffin with PB/strawberry jelly every morning. No longer.

No, I've usually ordered halibut, salmon and red snapper. I will look for it. Snapper is often on the daily special menu at a lot of places. Vegas is a food lover's paradise. For buffets, the best price/quality relationship is at The Mirage (and cheaper if you show up before 3 or 4 when it changes to dinner pricing), according to a friend who has been living there for 5 years now.

Can't blame you for the kick. One reads the nutritionals and figures out that (non-shell) fish has it all. I hate clams, mussels, calamari and all that stuff. OTOH, I can't get enough of the fish that serves up like a slab of steak. In the 80s and 90s, there was a chain in SoCal called "The Seafood Broiler" - reasonably priced, fresh, tasty and it seemed to always have a decent amount of people in there - don't know why it bellied up.

As it should be. Yesterday, it was a friend of mine's b-day and he works a few blocks from me, so I bought him lunch at a non-chain fern bar/microbrewery. I ordered the cod and chips for $12.99. The beer-batter sucked and it interfered with the taste of the fish. I also think that cod should be chalk white. It was white in some fillets and a little darker in others. This place is only good for their tri-tip or chicken sands, and not much else. The $6.99 dive I patronize serves WAY better fish and chips. Still, cod is the way to go...but halibut chips can be decent, too.

One rental alone from JAX out to the end of the Panhandle (Pensacola) to Atlanta and back down to JAX was about 1,500 to 2,000 miles. I liked the car just fine. It was easy to live with for that week.

He might be. Very high standards...Westchester County, NY... I've put about 10,000 miles on 10 to 20 04-08 Grand Prix rentals. They have their demerits (some cheap interior bits), but it's a competent car. Its powertrain will last for 300,000 miles, if minimally taken care of - something that most other American cars in that price range can't do. For a large car that can be had for $20K, it handles mountain roads, such as the ones up to Lake Tahoe, fairly well.

Thank you. I've had all 4 as rentals. Nissan Sentra - developed a nasty exhaust groan in the 106 summer heat in LV for which I returned it Toyota Yaris - sounds like a lawn mower, but sips fuel like one, too, so not so bad Hyandui Sonata - competent but really boring Chevy Aveo - well, at $9999, it's a throw away, plus the 37 mpg is not good for that small of a car I wanted to add the Chrysler Sebring convertible. Ergonomics and fit/finish in a new rental were inexcusable. The engine/trans calibration also sucked.

Right, it will need one helluva production run to make counter these delays and make it pay off. Theoretically, they should sell a lot of them because of the versatility of this plane. It's sort of a the same niche that a reasonably sized mid-size sport sedan occupies.

Yes, the composite material is the one I've scratched my head about... Fly-by-wire less so, since it's already been done, even if it isn't them...the Airbus 340 (4 engines) debuted in 1995...a long time ago
