Let's see them do that in Utah like in the film Outrageous Fortune.

If I were in their country's insurance industry, I would be taking names to check against new policies, for later coverage refusal of joint replacement and other orthopedic remedies as being due to pre-existing conditions.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

The insurance gurus around here can correct me on this one, or maybe you are one, but I think it's not a pre-existing condition unless you received treatment for it in the past year. In other words, the notes won't do them any good unless they get treatment in the year preceding their application for insurance. All that assuming that pre-existing conditions exclusions can apply in other countries too...

That's wonderful, Evel, but can you jump a full sized brownhound?

Let me know when you want to come over and try and I'll set up the ramps and brownhound.....

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Duh, no...look at the picture again. I can fly better than a chicken with or without the bike.

I just gotta check the Amtrak schedule, and I'll be on the next train, provided I don't slip under the wheels again.
