  1. Had the day off yesterday and some business to take care
    of. So I hop on the 3 speed and off into the streets I go. 1st stop ATM
    machine. Next post office to send off these Brook saddles that I traded
    for Sram X Generation front derailleur, Sram PC 58 chain,Sram 5.0
    cassette,and a Selle Stratos saddle. Those Brooks (2) were too plush for
    me. And now I get going faster no spring Brook saddles to bonce around
    on. More power to the pedals and fast. Well speed kills and thats what
    happened to that old type set up seat post. Hitting every bump the seat
    took a dive pot hole city that New London is. The bracket that goes over
    the seat post got twisted up and the seat too a dive to the left. So I
    stopped and got off to take a look and the saddle came off in my hands.
    So out came the hammer,adjustable wrench,and other tools and held
    hammered the backet into shape. The saddle back on the post I pedaded
    the 2 miles home. After the mailman notified al that I ride all over and
    can fix it.

    That was one painful paragraph to read.

    Hey Crazy, what's going on in your home town? Are they going to
    demolish your house too?

    The only way a government official would hand the deed for my house to a
    developer would be to pry it from my bloody, dead hands. What the hell has
    happened to this country??

    It is absolutely horrible. I'd read about the case a couple of weeks ago
    and thought for sure the Supreme Court would actually come through with
    justice for the homeowners. I guess that thought came during a temporary
    lack of cynicism on my part. What was I thinking? An individual winning
    against an corporation these days?

    Note which justices voted which way. Rather bizarre.

    Did the conservatives opine for or against?

    "The city has carefully formulated an economic development that it
    believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community, including
    -- but by no means limited to -- new jobs and increased tax revenue,"
    Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority.

    He was joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader
    Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer.

  11. What they said was their leaving it up to each and every
    state if they want to take land and home. But the just don't really take
    it they offer you market value. And you say no way Jose. Then they
    take and your out of luck Anyone in this USA could be next.

  12. NO I'm a apartment living soul. No house no car that
    mean no tax. The taxes I do wage and sales. Thats allso why I never end
    up on jury duty. You have to live here to see what really happen to
    that area. They did it to another area of th city a few long blocks from
    this the one their talking and working on now. That was about 15 years
    ago.
