they make it sound like it is imminent, scare tactics, sure is beautiful there.

Life has many risks, can't hide from all of them.
I lived just outside Orting for ten years, there is nothing fun about being woken up in the middle of the night by the Lahar sirens, it happened twice in the last two years I lived there. Nice town beautiful view of the mountain. I moved to the ridge of the valley a year ago for peace of mind.

All of a sudden this guy stopped his car on the temporary ramp of the LIE, climbs down into the cut we were making.. and takes off his clothes..

NYPD an EMT came , the EMT's took him away.. but left his clothes

Am in London right now and its the same if not worse. Every few minutes a nice Ferarri, Porsche, Bently or the like drives past. Its just a car lovers paradise.

Later this afternoon its on to Berlin. There is where the fun begins! Nothing like the autobahn!

Will drive a few klicks on it in your honor! We all need to get in a 911 and spend an hour or so on the 'bahn every year or two. Call it a tune up of sorts.
