Re: "Gas Crisis"
With $4+ gas coming our way will anyone be changing their day to day driving habits? Does anyone else consider it a "crisis"? I only fill up every ~2.5 weeks so I am not too worried about it. I should also be biking/walking/taking the bus more often as the weather gets better so I am ho...

(as in, why should I be pressured to move out of the left lane to enable a speeder to zoom through when I am safely and legally traveling at the speed limit?).

Just saying, there are unwritten rules to the road, and people should follow them. Actually, there aren't. Plain and simple.

He wants a BCS school and he wants to go into engineering, take your pick. Creighton has neither. He listed Creighton for the same reason he lists unl, he likes the local attention.

And the BCS has what to do with basketball? Nothing, I suppose, other than the outrageous sums of money it funnels into those schools' athletic coffers, which then get spent on things like basketball.

In contrast I have not seen any other ballparks that look remotely close to TDAP. You can say that it may not have much character but don't call it generic. It looks a helluva lot like a pre-renovation Kaufmann minus the upper deck and the fountains. Frankly, you can take any of the 1960's era bal...
