OT When will people learn

Those of you old enough will remember the Excedrin scare of twenty years or so ago. (Someone was putting poison in Excedrin bottles in some sort of "hold-up" scheme.) Instead of keeping it quiet,.Excedron whipped the bottles off the shelf and went very public. They won all sorts of praise and I think that there is some sort of prize still given out for organizatons winning over potentially dangerous PR disastors through honesty named after them.

Well, the city of Sa Diego has been secretly watching the land well beneath several very expensive homes (La Jolla) slip away, with only a few telltale signs visable.

Anyhow, the shithithtefan yesterday and some of the megabuck homes fell into the sinkhole which "suddenly" appeared. For some reason, no one was killed or seriously injured.

OK, I own property in SD, but don't live there. I doubt that I would feel better if I did, but at least I could have a choice between idiots.

Any other municipal nightmares out there efffecting members?

Yup. Here in Cheshire CT, there are old barite mines. There is one house that has a huge sink hole in the back yard. The owner didn't know about it when he bought the house. He is suing the previous owner, the realtor, and the town.

Wasn't that TYLENOL?

The 1982 Tylenol tamperings were in the Chicago area. There was a famously poorly-executed copycat murder in Seattle, involving a dead husband and Excedrin. Some people can't get anything right.

"Infrastructure" is probably the oldest scandal in the history of (mis)government. We could fix all the bridges, if we weren't in Iraq (Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Atlanta). If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we fix the sewer. Let's make the trains run on time. If elected, I will...

"Does this message concern Sudebakers?

Does this message concern SDC?

Does this message concern a member of SDC?

Does this concern cars?

Does this concern car clubs or meets?

Does it concern engineering of use with cars?

Is this a funny joke?

Is it likely to help usn with our work?

Will it make readers feel better?

Why is this here?

(I rather see an ad for an oil designed for cars of the 1950/60s.)"

I was in summer school, making up for flunking English in my sophmore year of HS, and had a spelling test. I missed 30 of the 3 words! The number of words in that test, obviously selected for easy scoring, was more interesting to me that the spelling results was!

In GB, I was talking to someone in the dyslexia group there and he said that I could hang that tag on me, but my success in life despite it was more significant.

Of course, he didn't get to read my un-edited writing like you do!

Fair quesion, you two guys, but more importantly, is if it was likely to upset people.
