How is this any different than any other mortgage? If you can't pay the nut, 10% or 20% isn't going to make a lot of difference! Who the hell are you to tell others what sort of contract that they can enter into? -- Keith

The City of Burlington has it's own wood-chip fired power plant and distribution. Bad plan, but it's called Moscow on Champlaign for good reason. -- Keith

With those pop tops, it is now impossible. > > Are these 'pop tops' the ones where the lids tears off ? Yes. The original "pop-tops" came on soda cans and detached. They tended to find their way into people's feet at beaches and such. Sometime in the '80s (IIRC) these were banned and the "ring" stayed with the can. Soup cans, and such, have the entire lid come off, but the "pop-top" stays with the lid. > > > > I don't throw away a milligram of food. > > You'd be lucky to avoid losing the very last milligram but the concept is sound.

One of the cans was useful the other day when I was looking for something to use to paint "sealer" on some marble I'm using for a mantle. -- Keith
