I am not a trumpet player. I was bugler back in Boy Scouts. I picked up Taps on the first day. I have hardly met a person who couldn't work out how to play taps in under an hour of playing. The problem is a lack of effort. Reveille is the call that requires a range and some skill. Any idiot could learn how to play Taps with a little bit of effort.
Taxing those who drive SUVs doesn't help anyone. There is still a significant portion of the population who need to drive those vehicles. Instituting an environmental tax is essentially equivalent to taxing people based on profession or location.
Driving a civic in the snow covered mountains during the winter becomes walking to and from work. And they don't hold ladders or lumber very well.
Taxing doesn't solve environmental problems, it just creates unnecessary financial hardships.
I play tuba. I was a server admin in high school. I thought I should use a name the implied power and no one else would use. I worked.
Other nicknames:
Sneil = from boy scouts. Some of my friends decided it was appropriate because I tended to hike in the back of the line. Snail + Neil => Sneil
Little Egypt = Scoutmaster thought may name was spelled wrong. Neil -> Niel -> Nial -> Nile -> Little Egypt.

I too have read that the previous name was "Duck." It was called this because it turned water, like a duck's feathers.

Great action flick with normal guys as heroes. Bikes, bombs, and bullets, what more could you want?
I agree. My favorite band. Rocco is an awesome bass player.
