To the ignorant (like me), I was shocked to learn what "bath salts" are... having assumed it was something the ladies used to create bubbles or similar. Nope. Not even Epsom salts. Check this out:

For us on the west-coast, the first time you see fireflies it's just astonishing! Never saw them until visiting the east coast for the first time (many years ago).

Yup, and right down the road from us is the home of the Synchronous Fireflies. Each year they put on a show that requires advance reservations, and only a select few get to see up close and personal - no kidding. Check this out, especially the picture gallery:

That couple in Pa just goes to show how dumb this next gen is becoming. Way back in the day here in Pa them things were just called Lightening Bugs. We used to catch them by the handfuls and put them in jars. If you got enough of them it was like carrying a lantern around.

Mark- you are welcome to sit on my deck and gaze into my backyard and you'll see tons of fireflies all night long. The younger kids chase and catch them... they are harmless.

Hi pd, what space aliens you been playing with lately? Oh I don't want to steal this thread but I got to tell you. Had to put one odd front tire on my wife's Nissan Rogue (all wheel drive). It's been about a month, now gobs of grease on the garage floor and the left front inner CV joint is trashed. Hmm, coincidence or what?
Was there a big difference between the front tires? If not, I don't think it's likely that a new tire could cause damage. On the Subarus, its the center differential that will eventually fail if one tire is way different - but it takes many miles from what I was told. Your Nissan may have hit a curb or pothole to cause damage. I would check with the dealer or go online to check out the damage.

Yes, I guess this could fit the mandate of this forum. Unless you are the guy spending the money. :wink-new:
I talked to him a few weeks ago. He didn't tell me about Sebring but did say the car has a propensity to just shut itself off once in awhile. :rolleye: Well, it seems that he is always game for new things, this is just another one of his adventures.
