Apparently Smith Point has a 3-mile long extension cord (note the breaker box and outlets on the wall) and so the availablilty of power has drawn in higher bids. But who pays the light bill?

it would be great to experience living there,but I guess after a while it gets kinda inconvenient..

I Think i'll pass on that , Thank you Verry Much !!!!

well, they've been there since '94 -- 1894. The worst dangers have been from ice jams and ships gone adrift.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-04-2005, 01:24 AM

Uh....yeah, but they've been deteriorating since 1894 too.

i took one of those test (and i swear i am not making this up, god how i wish i was) and it gave me two careers: coal miner & telephone repair specialist.

so i chose philosphy and pre law...

i saw a thing on tv (yeah, a thing!) about how this guy bought up all of these old military missle silos (sp? shilos? oh well you know what i mean) and renevated them for residential use. personally, i would love to live in one (if anyone ever dumped 4 mil into my checking out). think about it...

hi, jstbuch!

welcome

dar512 · 11-21-2005, 07:49 PM

Well it'd be perfect for Bruce, but I don't think it would work out so well for me. I'd never get rid of anything. I'd just have to go farther and farther to put it down.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-21-2005, 07:58 PM

WTF, dar512? Are casting aspersions? Impugning my character? How dare you imply I ever throw anything away. I demand satisfaction.
Oh, I forgot.....Mick told me I can't get no.......
