In Sweden, Turkey and a few other countries your wife gets locked up with 
you if your caught DWI, in England you cannot use your cell phone while
the 
car is in motion and in most all of Europe a kid under the age of 15 MUST 
sit in the back seat. Now I am not saying we adopt things word for word 
because you can still be beheaded for cheating on your spouse in Turkey,
yet 
in Holland prostitution is legal and so is smoking pot and ha****sh and
using 
Heroine does not get you life, nor does murder. but an open mind for the 
good of everyone, right now only a few benefit from oil prices being what 
they are. BTW That "fish story" you sent me never made the news, I live
and 
fish Lake Conroe every chance, my son keeps his boat there. The Houston
got 
it's first light rail and down here it the HEAT 99 degrees and higher and 
rains that will flood a area in a 1/2 hour! but rider ****p is at full 
capacity on the bus and "Light Rail".

There are two stories circulating around here about LC,

1. The Army Corps of Engineers hires divers to inspect the dam every two 
years, the diver comes up shaken and scared, sell his diving equipment and

never goes back into the water again, because he sees under water a
catfish 
so big it could swallow him whole.

2. A water skier falls and does so face first into a "nest" of Water 
Moccasins and dies instantly!

Neither of which happened, btw catfish feed on the bottom and s****s lay 
eggs on land........

Now having told you the last "story" I myself and family did run over a 
water Moccasin so big the when I held it up I had two feet of s**** above
my 
hand and it's head had about three feet on the ground still and it's body 
measured a good four inches around. When I first saw it I thought someone 
had stretched a black fire / pump hose across the street. it's head was as

big as my hand spread open. (like a good medium size Anaconda). But it
dead 
now a .44 to the head fixed that.

Remember the bus rider strike back in the 60's in Birmimham Ala? The owner

begged the Govt to step in, blacks had to ride in the back of the bus and 
give up seats to white riders when the bus got full? Most route here have
a 
bus every ten mins except when it rains and streets flood.
