Declining Standards

LOOK AT THIS !! I knew it would happen some day !

Who let a bloody Oz-tralian in here ???????

Welcome ollie4kate.

With forum members scattered around the world, I often wonder what time it is where various members are posting. When it's 1:26 in the morning here in Phoenix, here's what time it is for some of you.

In Seattle where Jeff lives, and in Vancouver where John Kidder lives, it's 1:26.

In Michigan where Dred lives, in Texas where West lives, in Louisiana where Smithfield lives, and in Alabama where Mr. P. lives lives, it's 3:26.

In Pennsylvania where HoBoKen lives, in Maryland where Cypress lives, and in New York where Squawk lives, it's 4:26.

In Belgium where Walter lives, in Holland where Hans lives, and in Sweden where Abalone lives, it's 10:26.

In Israel where Joshua lives, it's 11:26.

In Thailand where krispood lives, it's 15:26.

In Chatham Island, New Zealand, it's 21:11.

GET IT? NEW ZEALAND IS OUT OF STEP WITH THE WORLD! THAT'S FUNNY, DANG IT! Well, ok, I guess not.

On the contrary Darryl.

New Zealand is indisputably AHEAD of the world !

Whatever the status is of New Zealand, remember one thing: New York minutes are shorter than anywhere else. That's why it's so easy for me to go there so often.

NYC is also such an exciting place that I swear there must be some mineral in the ground that stimulates the thyroid or something.

It's either that or the need to be alert because you're afraid someone will lift your wallet if you're not paying attention.

As they say - New York: where "trust" is just a name on a bank...

D,

The same mineral exists in many of the suburbs here. I think studies have shown it comes from just a few Mt. Tributary streams. Trophy steelhead trout are common in these streams.
