The raiding party had AK47 and three motorized rubber boats.

Perhaps sailboats should be equipped with 50-cal Barrets? Are those legal in Washington?

SFWoman,

I believe she was in Dunster or Dudley (I remember it's something starting with D), whichever one that is located at the riverbank.

Peter, you don’t really need the 50-cal guns. Shotguns and M-16 should suffice, as long as you have gone through extensive practice (or better, training) and are mentally prepared for firefight.

But the Barret can sink their rubber boats (without harming the people) before they even get within range of their AK47s. :) See, no firefights.

Are you sure that you can hit a fast moving target with a rifle that has strong recoil?

I am sure I cannot hit anything.

Perhaps Boeing should market a laser for civilians to deflate pirate rubber boats. :)

A lot of gun owners, so I heard, weren’t emotionally prepared to pull the trigger. Some of them had their guns seized by the intruders and were killed by their own guns.

This is why a non-lethal weapon can be more effective. It is easier to pull the trigger. And if it is seized, it cannot be used to kill you.

My wife grew up in the valley when it was still full of orchards and horses, went to Los Altos High, and to her, Los Altos homes should never cost more than $1M, because she was used to going to her friend's modest homes on acreage in today's most revered parts of the western foothill, thinking to herself, this is a nice rural, ranch property and nothing more. She will absolutely castrate me if I dare to pay this kind of sky high price for any homes in this area.

Even when we bought more than 10 years ago, she was worried that we paid too much, but she was ok with the multiples to income in general. I think she puts me in perspective of what the evolution of the silicon valley was like throughout the last 3 decades or so. She actually comented that the Silicon Valley as it is known today was a much nicer, friendlier and hopeful place than today. People were not showy about their money, almost all families regardless of their financial situation sent their kids to local public high schools, where teachers were more competent.

She is one of the most pro-burst persons I know, wishing the bay area housing and funny money to crash hard to restore balance.

FAB,

I think all men prefer tits on sticks. If we don't get the sticks, then please deliver tits.

However, between Kate Moss and Kate Winslet, I would venture to guess that most guys prefer Winslet, I do. I like Angelina Jolie too, she is NOT thin. But she is definitely tits. A woman needs to look fertile, but not fertile to the extent that you think she has already had a dozen kids.

No guys I know want a fat wife, period. I would classify 5'5" 150 as fat. 5'5" 130 is acceptable, 115 is ideal. The ideal BMI that a guy wants in his mate is around 19-21, not 24 as the p.c crowds would like you to believe.

I also have no problems with gold diggers, as long as they have something to offer. Certain gold diggers know their own strength and weaknesses very well, and work hard at achievable target, that is admirable, and I want that genes for my kids. But I can't stand diggers that are demanding, bitchy, and offers nothing in return except for her fake tits.

George,

it is a VERY bad idea to buy in FL right now, the fall just started, you really have no idea how bad it can be until the next big hurricane hit. You guys have been lucky this year, but hey, weatherman says the worst year is going to be ahead of us.

If you do have to cave into the pressure and buy, buy the smallest house with the lowest absolute amount you can, in a good area, so it can't fall that much. Plan on trading up later.

Good luck

If I ever tick some people’s nerves by being myself, allow me to apologize for my insensitivity towards their emotonal needs. There is nothing personal here.

It's all good. I'll leave this latest IP unbanned, that is up until the point where you digress into holocaust denial, pedophilia, or both again.

I am sure I tick enough people's nerves too.
