Exit Zero, I thought the author meant "...an ancestry devoted to leisurely..." as sarcasm.
Thanks for the heads-up on this old book. I read the chapter on the USVI. Absolutely fascinating!
I love tourists and I want them all to fall in love with the VI. I want them to come back. I want them to tell their friends what a great place this...
Found one of the suppliers I used: I think they mailed the samples directly to me. When I placed the full order I had it sent to Miami Tropi...
FL Barrier Islander-- we must've been typing at the same time. the Floor Factory is in Sub Base, near WAPA.
Floor Factory carries some of the Bisazza tile line, or they did a year or two ago when I last looked. I recently remodeled and installed a few h...
Hmmm, looks like Home Click is not doing well. I just browsed their site and there's hardly any content when you click on categories. They used to h...

It was a 4.6
I felt a little somethin' on the north side but haven't checked the USGS yet-- usually takes a half hour or so for the stats to appear. From my house...

Holy cow. Really? Looks like that news blurb was posted today as a USN's press release. Wonder when it happened?
Rotor, that's an excellent question. Here's something else that annoys me, tangentially related. Ornate, grandiose, exorbitantly expensive churc...
A hookah bar with plain ol' tobacco? Agree with dntw8up. That business plan was surely conceived while stoned. Even as a gimmick it will flop. ...
$5000 is probably not enough. Use search function for more details. Will you have graduated when you move here? Do you plan to work here? If s...
$55, $130 for a Sleep Number bed? Un freakin believable! I just got a quote to ship a little laptop computer from the states, UPS > $210. I gue...
