hahah this reminds me of a section from "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" (written by Jane Wagner & performed by Lily Tomlin) which is said by Agnes Angst, a character who is a "rebellious" teenager who sometimes lives with her grandparents:
On the radio, I hear the weatherman say, "The air today is unacceptable. People with breathing problems should not go out."
I wanted to shout, "What's unacceptable is that the *air* is unacceptable!"
I think: Wow, breathing is a bio-hazard.
If we don't take in air every few minutes, we die, but the air we are taking in is killing us.
I rush to my Behavior Modification Center, hoping they can help me cut down on my habit of *breathing.*
In the cubicle next to mine I hear: "Do you want to stop *drinking*?"
"No."
"Do you want to stop *smoking*?"
"No."
"Do you want to stop *overeating*?"
"No. I want to stop caring that I eat and drink and smoke too much!"

Sadly, our church has closed it's doors. Its been an honor and and a privilige to bring Christs' message to the West Dubuque community for all these years.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always, dear friends.

back in the 80s i worked as an assistant at defensive driving school, and amongst the videos the students had to watch as part of their education was one that i think should be re-done for the current era. (i think it was probably made in the very late 70s or very early 80s)
basically it was a highway patrol-supervised driving test. i want to say it was done in california. there was a flat course that had to be driven by the participants a few times - first while stone cold sober. then following a certain amount of alcohol, then again with more alcohol. each person was filmed in conversation before and after each run, and a highway patrol member was in the passenger side of the car with similar controls that a driving instructor would have. the course looked similar to the large areas the mythbusters use for most of their experiments with moving vehicles.
as soon as 502 made it onto the ballot and i have been watching the multitude of discussions about the pros and cons of the DUI part of the initiative cum law i had a dream that the stranger would partner with the washington state patrol in running a similar test but with the subjects smoking/vaping and/or eating cannabis. heck if possible the test could span two days - first day test them sober, then after some alcohol. second day test them (sober again? then) on cannabis. film it all, measure what can be measured, get it on film, and let people watch for themselves.
i have been trying to locate the name of the original video from the 80s online to no avail. i found one link to a study that was done in israel a few years ago that was completed in a simulator: http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2009-…
anyone else interested in seeing something like that done here now that 502 has passed?

@2 - you missed the brief appearance of the mom in the train pulling her kid with a balloon away from the strange man with all the paper planes attached to him. WAHOO FOR TWO SECONDS MORE of XX!
i saw more impressive animated shorts at couchfest a few months back.
also for the other shorts junkies out there the screenings of the oscar nominated shorts WILL be taking place this year - in the landmark theatres world the programs have been switched from the varsity to the harvard exit (only live action and animation being screened there) and it appears that SIFF will have ALL 3 programs (including documentary! HUZZAH!) at the uptown -- all in early feb: http://theoscarshorts.shorts.tv/location…
(is anyone else ASTOUNDED that CAMAS is getting screenings of the shorts??? CAMAS!!??!!??)

that wouldn't be pine being smelled...more than likely it would be a fir (Abies) or doug fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii - not a true fir) - without a more detailed photo i would guess the latter.
pines do not make good xmas trees.
