Tasmania is arguably the worst for road kill. Outback/inland Australia has loads of Kangaroos and is a real problem, but Tasmania is on another level when it comes to road kill. Tassie is still mostly natural bush, forestry and agricultural, with windy rural roads. Possums, deer, wombats, quolls, Tassie devils, wallabies and kangaroos are everywhere at night. Sometimes it is impossible to avoid them without risking an accident. I've even slowed down, passed a kangaroo, only to have it catch up with me and then throw itself into the side of my vehicle... <roll eyes>. |

The Tasmanian right-wing is busy chopping it all down, selling it to China and buying it back as toilet paper. |

Don't know. It depends on the insurance policy. Coverage for hit and run drivers usually falls under collision because that's the only reason you ever encounter a hit & run driver. They wouldn't "run" if they hadn't done damage. Stands to reason they're uninsured (or driving a stolen car or committing a criminal act if they "run".) The onus is on the owner of the car to have insurance adequate to cover their own liability as well as collisions - except for John. He'd rather pay $4100 than a couple hundred more a year for full coverage. > to the left rather than straight forward like it should be. > Even cover up the damaged body part and that wheel still > doesn't look aligned correctly.

I was amazed at how many scofflaws are on > the road. FWIW There are about 8.5 million licensed drivers in Ontario and the province suspends close to 90,000 licenses every year. That means than more than 1% of drivers are getting suspended each year. Some of those may be short term suspensions for relatively minor offenses, but others are longer term penalties and many are for unpaid fines. The latter often accumulate multiple convictions and might owe thousands of dollars in fines that they have no intention of paying. |

I watched an episode of Judge Judy this afternoon. She said to the defendant who had been driving without insurance, "You committed a crime just by getting behind the wheel." She says it all the time. People claim they didn't realize it lapsed or they were going to pay it but something came up. Or the dog ate my homework. I've always made sure I had full coverage because I cannot count on anyone else who is driving to have insurance. John is a fool who thinks it is somehow noble to pay $4100 out of pocket rather than purchase sufficient insurance from those evil companies. I'm also betting he's never bothered to read an insurance policy (the DEC pages lay it all out pretty simply) in his life. Jill |

It is consistent with his account of an incident in his driveway. The damage in that picture is too low for a hit and run. |

The word of the day is . . . Antagonize cause (someone) to become hostile. Used in a sentence: I have a couple of synonyms for it but to post the names would be to antagonize. |

Same here. I generally keep my cars for many years and I don't want to drive a rattle trap that looks like it's been in a rodeo. > I'm also betting he's never bothered to read an insurance policy (the > DEC pages lay it all out pretty simply) in his life. > Jill Since he only carries liability I wonder what an uninsured rider on his policy would cost per year? A L.O.T. less than the $4100 to get that jelly bean repaired. But I'm wondering if there were other things he had done that he's not sharing with us? That's hard to imagine as he's shared everything but bank and credit account numbers. |

You know better than that. :) The hawk was resting in the shade. It's been *very* hot here. It's rare for me to see a hawk on the ground, especially that close to the house. The last time that happened was in 2008 when my mother was still alive. That one was a full-grown hawk with an astounding wingspan when it took off. We looked at it together out the window. Oddly, that bird and this one were sitting in nearly in the same spot. Are you paying any attention to Tropical Storm Isaias? It looks like it might be the first this season to maybe get stronger and head up the east coast of Florida. Jill |

I'm late to the thread and can't view the first of it without a hassle, but Olivia was Joan Fontaine's sister if it hasn't been posted previously. They're the only two siblings who ever won Best Actress/Actor Oscars. Of course, I googled. When her name came up on TV, I assumed that she had been dead for thirty years, but I was wrong. Joan lived a long life too. leo |

| Ed Pawlowski <esp@snet.xxx>: Jul 30 10:07PM -0400 The Science channel has a series called Super Factories. The particular episode I'm watching has a segment on the Heinz factory in the UK. They do canned beans there. They make 4500 cans per minute, about 4 million cans a day. 1200 tons of dried beans are shipped in every week. Each bean is inspected by lasers and split beans or pebbles are rejected but not wasted. They become fertilizer. Tomato paste comes from Spain, Italy, California Same spices since 1892 are added. Beans are cooked in the can using rotary steam cookers. If you are looking for it on cable, it is episode 3 and will repeat or be available on demand. The title is NASA Rocket Factory. |
