Free Republic

Way back when, when I belonged to one of those record clubs I was sent “The Three Tenors” CD by mistake and was told to keep it. I must have had it for years before I decided to give it a shot while I was remodeling my basement. Needless to say, I was hooked from the start and have since purchased many of his CD’s as well as Bocelli, Domingo, and others. I was actually listening to Luciano on my way home from work yesterday. RIP my friend, and thanks for opening my eyes to the world of opera!

Early reports confirm they’re somewhere on Earth.

“Do they have a way out of the Iraqi crisis...”

We don’t have to get out if we bomb from the air.

Look at all those galaxies, we are not alone.

I for one believe they deserve whatever they get.

Love my 2004 Tundra Limited!

Someone out there has to be wondering why the hot dog didn't wind up in Rose's casket.

Love my Tundra!

Dee dee dee!

I grieve for the State of Virginia.

If it was up to me they'd have them already!

Just another episode of "How Low Will-Ya Go".

Ohhhh...TRucking student.

We’ve been seeing tyrannosaur fossils for many years but have only recently found examples in fine shale deposits of China showing feathered examples. Again, conditions were right to show such an adaptation.

I personally don't put much stock in evolution because if all there is was created by random mutation, the fossil record should be crammed full of things that did not make it, and it isn't. That's my two cents.


First of all, you need to understand the process of fossilization and understand the extreme conditions it takes to fossilize an animal. If a carcass isn't fully eaten and scattered across a large area it then has to be in the right place at the right time for fossilization to take place. I'm sure there are an untold number of species we'll never know about.

Why not grant him total consciousness on his deathbed and leave it at that? At least he'd have that going for him, which is nice.

Did I say Boston...I meant New York. From what I remember, Washington was already on the retreat and Nathan was suspected of starting a fire that took out a large section of British occupied NY.

Captured by the British in Boston and hanged as a spy.

Bet it won't get as many hits as the Starbucks guy!

I'm not a big fan but sure some of that will change when the "Smart Car" comes to America. I know I'll be getting one.
