    Endangered Hemlocks

    The Hemlock is my absolute favorite Tree. I have many memories of hiking in the cool runs along streams in Northern PA wandering amongst these quiet giants and feeling the 10 -15 degree temperature difference as their massive coverage blocks out even the hottest of the suns rays. Sadly...

    $349 for gas

    How do you like the Passat? This is my 3rd TDI(an '05). The newer Pump Dusse Engines have more horsepower and get a bit less fuel economy than the A3's/B4's or A4's, which is what I think you have. The newer restyled Jettas have even less economy. However, That's 44 MPG when driving 80-85 on...

    $349 for gas

    What'r you driving? a Liberty CRD? I have a VW Golf TDI and usually get about 44 MPG. 'Course, as you said DSL is now over $4 and I can still get RUL here in NJ for about $2.95. Hurts to pay a dollar more, but then again, driving a Diesel is a blast.

    Who's got the flu?

    Might I kindly point out that being sick for a week or so might not exactly inlfluenza. Influenza will take you down - in bed - easily for 3-7 days - Like what Kevcon was describing. There are distinct differences between a cold and influenza: Odds are if you have sneezing, runny nose and a...
