Okay, I'm off on a little trip that will take me to Paris (Thanks Christine!) and later to Germany. I'll be with my family and along the way will have the chance to catch up with my friend Uwe Hornung in Frankfurt, for those of you not familiar with the name, it is he that owns almost all of the basses in our Bible, The Gibson Bass book. I'll be checking in and posting as WiFi allows, but I'd appreciate it greatly if one of you fine folks could keep track of any new member requests until I get back. You're own your own good behavior.

Meantime, Thunderbirds are GO!

it depends on the power of the lamp, the yellowing begins to be visible after 2 hours, taking the time to move the lamp often enough, it took me several days. Once again, I went very gradually. i think with a neon, it would go much faster.

How about putting it into one of these?

Italy is an amazing country, one of those places that oozes style from everywhere and anywhere. Hoping to go there next year for a couple of months, the clothes shops will bankrupt me :)

And the people are great.
About the only good thing working for Delta was the travel benefits. Would go to Italy twice a month with some of the other gang who had family there.
I really miss that.

Yeah but when you say "life threatening" you discredit the "when your time is up" philosophy...
My point is; today, you can get hurricane status days in advance. With a quake, you can be in your car under a bridge and have the bridge fall on you in 2 seconds with no warning at all like in 89...

Yep, when your times up, it's up. A once in a lifetime freak event could be the one that kills you. But statistically speaking, where I was living in Kentucky offered at least 25 times more increased opportunities per year to be physically or financially impacted than where I live now. Those are odds I'll take. Also do a quick comparison of the number of deaths in the USA over the last 100 years due to earthquakes vs hurricanes and associated flooding. One is a fraction of the other.

And keep in mind I'm speaking from my perspective and about where I live in Ventura county, just not a lot of issues here vs the Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley/Los Gatos homes in the hills. Fires, land slides, mud slides, earthquakes, fog, snow and ice could all be much more of a risk there than here.

As for advanced warning, 2 seconds before death is just fine with me. Two days advance warning of death or destruction from a hurricane, or two hours warning for a Tornado, or 2 minutes warning for a mudslide are all more time than I really want to think about my impending death or financial ruin. YMMV
