Sure, but there's life out there too. Consult a reputable online galactic travel guide to help you pack appropriately for the planet of your choice, and bring plenty of charged batteries because charging stations can be mighty scarce in some locations.

Sounds like you're speaking from personal experience there, Bells. ;) I was kinda hoping that I'd run across some new power technology that would negate the need for our antiquated power cell method. :(

I read that one on Yahoo news this morning - amazing...

I thought so, too. :) I'll have to try to remember to take note of the morning show's stories each morning... I could share my "morning feel good stories" with the rest of y'all!

    Happy Fourth Vaperversary, Debadoo!

    And a towel. The most reputable galactic travel guide there is clearly states that towels are vital pieces of equipment.
    "Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."

    I don't know anything about Mr Duck

    In my mind's eye you were about 10
    I think I was 14. When I was 10 I got caught by the only town cop for putting gas in a neighbors car.

    Quite a harrowing experience...
    Lucky, so glad you made it through without anything else happening.

    Today I am 4 years smoke free!!!!
    Congrats Deb, 4 years is a wonderful accomplishment. Party on!!!

    Not a bad thing, Deb, and not a very believable story, either. The same equipment for putting gas in can be used to take gas out.

    We used to put gas in our pastor's Isetta untill he started to wonder why he was getting over 80 mpg.

    Then for the next couple weeks we'd siphon some out... :lol:

    and that was a bad thing???
    I grew up in the thriving metropolis of Picher, Oklahoma. The town had two pharmacies, Osborn's and Koronis's. The Koronis drug store was owned by two brothers, Manual Koronis lived next door to us and Jim Koronis lived 4 houses down from us. Jim and his wife Patsy were down at our house on almost a daily basis. Jim and my dad were talking about a Volkswagen Bug that he had just bought for making deliveries of drugs around town. He was bragging about how good the gas mileage he got and how it was a good investment as a business vehicle. For the next week, I went down and siphoned a gallon of gas out of his Bug. Jim was down again and talking with my dad saying he didn't understand what had happened. His gas mileage was really horrible, only like 9 to 10 MPG.

    Starting that night I snuck down and started putting a gallon of gas back in his VW Bug. A few days later Jim was back talking to dad and was really confused. His VW was getting 75 - 80 MPG. Well, that night I was returning the last gallon of gas to his VW and I heard gravel crunching behind me. I looked back and there was Fuzzy Morgan, the town cop! Fuzzy looked at me and ask me what I was doing? I told him I was putting gas in Mr. Koronis's car. He cocked his head, looked at me and ask if Mr. Koronis knew I was putting gas in his car. I guess that my dad wasn't the only person that Mr. Koronis had talked to about his fluctuating gas mileage.

    So yes, the only time I was ever brought home by the cops was when I was caught putting gas in a car.

    Dang, I don't remember that ever happening to moi. I've been deprived! Then again, I went nearly 65 years without ever hearing about MR DUCKS... how did I ever survive to this point? LIB!
    Consider yourself lucky. Been there, done that and it ain't fun. Same thing, stealing watermelons. Taught me not to get caught! Great melons though. :lol:

    Hahaha! That would probably be pretty good... if I liked cottage cheese at all. ;)
    I like both honey and cottage cheese but, never have like the combination of sweet and savory. I don't even like my baked potatoes to be slightly sweet. Don't like sweet taters at all. :):rolleyes:
