    I'm getting to really HATE all the news videos. Really annoying. Rather read news articles. I just back out before they can load.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Not like the yard knows it was stolen, There are a few bad apples like there are a few bad scrappers, but for the most part scrap yards do not like stolen goods....don't want them to inbreed that they start to take from your pile.

    Yeah, not everyone can have smart kids like us!

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
