Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put out in KP.
CA property taxes are under Prop 13. Essentially, your taxes are fixed at 1% of purchase price (or 1975 assessed value, if you owned the property in 1978). They can increase at 2% per annum.

So if I use Chandler, the Wraith will come and suck out my life force?
We're supposed to rebuild a civilization out of the ashes from THAT?

I can vouch for this model as well. It's a good buy.
Wouldn't this be the right place for one of those The Moon: A Ridiculous Liberal Myth trolls?
Just what we need... Kirk with a BAH-stin accent.
Kirk grew up in Iowa, FFS!

Yeah, and public libraries shouldn't stock fiction, such as trashy romance novels either.
Unfortunately, until the new CLV is created, we're stuck with the Shuttle.
The Saturn V was the most reliable heavy-lift vehicle ever built with the largest payload capacity. Too bad they scrapped it.

I'd argue that the lunar EVAs weren't "spacewalks", but rather "moonwalks" (and "moondrives" :-P).

What freeways are you driving? I want to stay away from them. Please tell me it isn't the 101 or the 118!
