Jimshaw member Registered: 10/22/03 Posts: 3956 Loc: Bend, Oregon	Somehow this one also belongs in the almost over the hill category, a different hill, but a hill none the less, with its own pipeline even: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2HZJ80mUFI&feature=related _________________________ These are my own opinions based on wisdom earned through many wrong decisions.

Jimshaw member Registered: 10/22/03 Posts: 3956 Loc: Bend, Oregon	I'm just sure whether I'd rather be hiking along see a tyranosaur coming down a steep hill at me, or a run away 50,000 pound dozer. _________________________ These are my own opinions based on wisdom earned through many wrong decisions.
