(Seriously, they're very creepy). I am a christian who attends lots of biblestudies, I know for a fact that they misinterpret every scripture they use.

When I told my friend who had been a bike messenger about he told me warned me about this reaction. He said something about how after an accident you're so full of adrenaline & also so happy that you don't have some kind of major injury like a bone poking out of your leg or something that your first response is that you're OK. He said that you really need to take your time be very _very_ wary of your own assessment of the situation & _always_ call the cops if car has hit you. It's just too easy for the excitement & adrenaline to mask some kind of injury and once the driver has left the scene there is no way to get them back or file much of a police report. I trusted his opinion quite a bit as he's been hit by cars several times.

Living in Cologne, I have studied a semester in Bamberg some 15 years ago. I just wondered what makes someone from Seattle going to stay some time in Bayreuth and Oberfranken? You took a picture of the "Bamberger Reiter" in Bamberg cathedral. Yesterday I bought a book on this sculpture. I had a realy good time this summer, long ago in Bamberg. If you would like to report me something on your time living in Germany, I would be intereseted in your memories of the citys and landscape of Franken. All the Best, Matthew Dear Jeff,

I'm surprised fire let him go on his way, he probably should have at least had an evaluation in the ER. Closed head injuries are not something to mess around with!

It's hard to pay $112/mo for 6000/768 when Comcast offers 12000/2000 for half the price. I don't use torrents or other applications which require lots of data though. It was really just the price.
