I might be completely wrong, but wasn't there a lot of discussion not too long ago about the lack of reliability of some of the PF heads?
One of the early runs of the PF500 apparently had an issue.
I bought my 350 used about 3 years ago and it’s served well for my daughter and I. My guitar player also has one at his house and I haven’t heard of any problems.

I remember when they were an issue. I had one later and it was a pretty nice little amp! (More eq and tone stuff on it than my TE Elf... but I dig my Elf a little more, for the purpose.)
 
And people! Waaaaaaaaaay too many people.
Not as bad as you may think......it's a huge chunk of land..

A good part of which is owned/controlled by the Feds or the State. It’s a bit of a two edged sword. If it wasn’t for that, we’d see development jammed up and down the entire coast. But we’re also taking thousands of acres of valuable farmland and turning it into suburbs.

Something I really love about that. The coastline is virtually undisturbed. Most of the coastline is still farms!!
I grew up in FLA and today you can be a block away from the beach and not see the water. Real shame what they've done there...the whole state used to be a sanctuary...don't get me wrong, I'm not a tree hugger of any sort but over development is not something easily undone..

Warwick, RI is a sprawling 'burb set on top of the best topsoil in the region. At least it won't get farmed to death...
 
That’s why I try avoid Toronto at all costs.

But I’m sure there’s a number of people in LA that do not partake in the census. Especially people that own more than one house, and claim residence elsewhere.
Yeah but that happens everywhere...from the numbers, my take is, more people want to live in California than in Canada..

An interesting tidbit when talking about over population of the USA is to realize that if every man woman and child in the entire country were given their very own half acre lot to live on you could fit the entire population inside the state of Texas.:woot:

As a country, we're not even close to being over populated. Unfortunately, we do have some serious population density issues in specific cities like D.C., LA, NY etc. There are numerous reasons that range from convenience to economics and even politics - the US doesn't have the market cornered on the issue. Even countries with ultra low populations struggle with population density in some of their large metropolitan areas. :meh:

Such is the world we live in today. Pick a spot to plant your roots and make the best of it.:thumbsup:
 
That whole area is. Most of the land is privately owned. My home town of Newport RI looks the way it did 50 years ago..
The waterfront has moved it up a notch, but all those old houses, the residential areas are pretty much what they were I suppose, yes. I like Newport, when the masses of elite wanna-bees leave for the winter!

Winters in NP are the best! Totally with you on that. Population goes back down from over a million to 17000.
Miss the America Cup but then...I kinda don't...
