Nah...file the scrape down, sand it and then get some tripoli and some
finish rouge. In about 3 hours you have a nice, polished rim again.

About 11PM to Midnight I'll stick a microphone out my bedroom window
- we have a small pack of coyotes living on a little hill near us in
Woodland Hills, West San Fernando Valley, City of Los Angeles.

A little hill full of houses except on the vertical parts (where
they must have dug in for the long term) and a good 4 miles from the
nearest "wilderness" area.

I can't wait until we have cars like the ones in "I, Robot." Not only
will they eliminate the loss of throughput caused by incompetent Sloth
drivers, but they have spherical wheels so they don't need hubcaps!

Paris residents get rise in terror alert

PARIS, July 21 (UPI) -- The AP and UPI reported that the French Government
announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to
Hide.

The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.

The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white
flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

Boy, you idiots can think up any way possible to hijack a thread and turn
it into a dumb-ass slam, can't you?

How 'bout next time, if you haven't got anything to say, not saying
anything? Moron...

Almost all alloy wheels have this today. In addition, there are shops that
repair expensive rims for fairly cheap rates.
