now if you'll excuse me, there's a beach chair calling for me... Have a good weekend, kids.

Well a liter of Cruzan rum is $6 at the airport, and you can bring back 6 liters with you (gotta go thru customs when departing the USVI). A beer at the hotel bar here is $4 or $4.50, and that's on the high side. Where are you staying on St. Thomas?

Well you're missing the Rolex Regatta this weekend in St. Thomas. And "cheap" is a relative term here, almost everything is more expensive than on the mainland, even at the non-tourist traps. Well, except rum. 8) What dates are you here? I'm going home for Easter weekend, but I'll be back ...

I'm leaving for St. Thomas tomorrow morning, pretty much living there until the end of June for w#%k (coming home every other weekend). I'll be hitting all 3 of the big islands (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix), I'm working on a project for the territory's Dept. of Education. Was there a month ago, ...

I write MAYBE 2 or 3 checks a year, usually for taxes or to the DMV.

Hey at least you didn't drink green beer. I remember after one particular St. Patty's day a few years ago I learned that drinking too much green beer has an...uhm...effect on the output the next morning.

W#%k is sending me back to St. Thomas in a week or two, I can bring back another 6 liters when I come back home in April...

Oh well. Since my odds of celebrating S&BJD are slim-to-none, I might as well have some pie.

Not exactly the kind of "pie" I had in mind...er, wait, I think we covered that in the "steak and bj day" thread...

I LOVE the trolleys. Sometimes I take the Amtrak from Milwaukee for a day, there's a trolley stop right by Union Station and it goes to all the areas I usually visit.

I would agree. The media should just blow them off, and they might go away. Bad publicity is still better than no publicity at all.

Well I'm with you on the sentiment that people like that are what drove me away from organized religion. What really grinds my gears is that these people are essentially spitting on the graves of soldiers who have fought and died to guarantee their right to protest in the first place. At least they ...

Now if we can just get Hussein and that idiot in N. Korea to finish the trifecta....

The Uape Indians, who live in the Amazon, mix the ashes of their recently cremated relatives with alcohol, then all members of the family drink the mix with fond memories of the deceased.

I gotta write that one into my will....

My car is a 2002, had 12 miles on it when I bought it, now has 24k. My work van is just over a year old and has 31k on it.
