Got some rabid excitement on this topic in the other Thread.I believe it is unfair to carry on this discussion under the previous nefarious label.Not that I take anything back but I genuinely hope good things for USC and their program except when they play Florida.They are Good ! That stated,I would like to encourage us Palm/College Football Nuts to have ongoing discussions on this Thread.I would encourage politeness but no problem discussing the virtues of your Alma Mater's prowess.I would also urge that we respond to each well thought out Post even if it involves team's we do not know alot about.I truly do not know much about the teams in the Pac-10 but am interested…

We get a fair amount of wildlife in the garden here, including Wallabies And Kangaroos, plus many other native animals, birds and reptiles. This little Wallaby was happily munching on the Singapore Daisy this afternoon. Even though wet from the rain, his fur is much darker than that of the usual wallabies we get around here. Daryl

Each evening after work (when it's not raining) I try to get some exercise, so I go for a walk. I walk along the intercoastal waterway (in south Florida) for first half of the walk and along the ocean for the last half. The views are tough to take. Anyway, all of a sudden I started noticing these incredible sunsets so I started taking pictures with my cell phone. Here are a few...

On popular demand (thank you Kim!! ), I'm beginning a new Big Island thread since we lost the old one in connection with the Palapa execution... A sudden decision this morning had me heading over to the Kona side with my wife, a 2.5 hour drive from Leilani Estates. From Hilo to Kailua-Kona there are 3 choices: Highway 11 around the southern part of the island (the longest way) Highway 19 around the northern part of the island and thru Waimea (well, close to the northern part anyway) Highway 200 - but always referred to as the Saddle Road - the shortest way, but also the most dangerous. Since I like a challenge, taking the Saddle Road was a "no brainer"...! The Sa…

This development is slightly disturbing. It may mean nothing, or it may mean the end of gardening in Leilani Estates. The future is unknowable. Past performance does not necessarily predict future performance when it comes to volcanoes. USGS is tracking movement daily with flyovers and aerial photographs. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/ n I'm having lots of inner debates. Do nothing. Pack up a trailer and move all house contents to a storage facility in Hilo. Do nothing. Buy a boat for ocean access in case the highway is cut off. Do nothing. Lift the entire house off the pier foundations and move it to a safe location. Do nothing. What will I feel if the house…

Just giving a new opportunity to talk about whats on your mind, whether it be BUY BUY BUY or SELL SELL SELL, or something more exciting. I'm currently picking on some extremely over sold CEF (closed end funds). There are positives and negatives regarding this game. The positive is they have low volume so they get very oversold at times when people want to get out. The negative is they are low volume so it's hard to get out when you want to and sometimes hard to get in.

Gas prices are falling fast here in central ca. I just paid $2.64 a gal.... Sure takes the edge off when you drive a 4x4 that gets 10mpg in the city. Based on the crash in world oil prices today. Can sub $2 a gal be far?

Howdyall: While in Florida, I was forced to get a new camera, since memory cards for my old one were no longer to be found. Went to Best Buy, with the following criteria: (1) had to have a zoom lense, the zoomier the better; (2) had to fit into a shirt pocket when not in use; and (3) had to take a standard, as opposed to proprietary battery. I found it! A Canon SX100 IS. All of the above. For just under 300 clams, literally $299.99 including tax. Plus another 14 for a 2 Gig memory card. Oh! Scream, etc. If you're into drive-by pornography, like me, this camera works great. Ahem. Here's a shot a long ways off.

I posted a thread on this before and got a bunch of negative feedback. A lot of people accused me of making this a bigger incident/issue than it really was. Well, one of my main points was this incident would be worse than the Chernobyl disaster, when it is all said and done... but when will it all be said and done? That's the issue--Japan will not be safe for a very long time and the ground water contamination combined with the leaks flowing into the ocean make this a serious issue with no end in site. I live less than 4 miles from a Nuclear power plant and the thought of losing my house due to an accident is very frightening! Japan has now turned off all of their Nuclea…

Yeah, yeah, yeah (ode to the Fab 4) another music post. This time let's hear what you consider to lines from a tune that have withstood the test of time (and the 90's an 00's). Has to be a line that makes a song instantly recognizable; such as... "Snot running down his nose.........." (for all palmophiles) "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" "She's filing her nails while they're draggin' the lake" "The fury of the hour, anger can be power, you know that you can use it" (only for original punks here) Xtra bonus points and a free home version of Jeopardy if you give me the song titles above. Let's go!

Dear Friends Sorry for the delay in posting these Wedding Album stills,since at that time the Off Topic Sub Forum did not exist,during that period,so their was no hurry for me to procure the photo_Cd from my wife Anitha's Family.. And another bottle neck i had was the uploading speeds,though i have a broadband ADSL connection of 512Kpbs,that speed is only for downloads,while my uploading speeds was no more than just 120Kpbs,when asked i was told that for domestic connection this is how it is.. And first off all i must sinserely thank Mr.Bo Goran & the present committe & Our modulator for trying to bring in some kind of off topic sub forum.. And iam doi…

So the pohon and I are planning our much anticipated, second-long distance, PRA adventure, this time to Florida. Anyone got any travel advice? What to see? Who to visit? Where to crash? Cheap hotels in the area? What areas to stay in? What time of year? Were looking to escape the frigid CA Winter and will probably be traveling sometime between December '09 and Feb '10. Let's hear some ideas!!!!!!!!!

New places to retire, other than Hawaii 1 2 3 4
by Gtlevine- 156 replies
- 12.3k views
I was thinking that when I retire I would like to possibly move to a better palm climate and less expensive place than California. My wife is bored in Hawaii unless it's Honolulu, so I am researching other options. I'm in love with Australia but it is too far away from my family, so I am considering Mexico. I have two friends who moved to a place called San Miguel de Allende. Incredible climate, beautiful city and lots of culture and fun, 40% American and European, completely safe because it is protected by the Mexican Government. Always rated among the best Cities in Mexico and the world to live. Located in central Mexico, easy flight back to San Diego. It looks fanta…
