Now now.  Lets be nice.  You are accusing Les of lying.  I know for a fact
that Les does write, a lot.  I have in fact sent two angry letters to our
beloved Gov and got a reply after the second one.  I'm not supprised that you
get an answer every time.  They probably get a lot less "I love you" mail
than they do angry mail.

Yes, he is frantically trying to make up for all the damage he did during
the first two years of his dictatorship.

Actually if you take the current law to the letter Les is right. 
Banning BB guns
was not the intent of the law but it illustrates how poor the law is.  I
doubt if
the Gov actually cares about stuff like this.  His intent was to appear to have
done something about crime at the cost of stepping on the rights of a
small special
interest group.  Now all he cares about is throwing eggs at the NRA and visa
versa.  The end result is poor gun legislation.

2 p.m.?  The President's term expired at high noon (EST).  Clinton was sworn

I can see that you've bought the propaganda of the Governor's office
hook, line and sinker.  Do you enjoy listening to his TV and radio
spots promoting himself, paid for with *our* tax money?  "Coming to
the people?"  Give me a break.  He's never responded to my letters or
phone calls.

Florio, realizing that this is an election year and that he has an
approval rating of only 33% (very low for an incumbent governor) and
still faced with all of the problems that he wasn't able to improve
(deficit, unemployment, auto insurance etc.) is pandering for votes as
usual - he's just changing his tactics.  I'm not fooled.

He says his number-one achievment was the "assault firearms" ban that
made it a class 3 felony to possess a legally-purchased Daisy Red
Ryder carbine BB gun.  Does this impress you?

Oh, I see.  It's OK to cut spending when it's near an election, but
"affluent suburban communities" WHOA!  Don't cut anything from them!

The new Senate is WORSE than the old one.  They knew they could push
the anti-Florio sentiment to get in, and now they are doing what they
planned on anyway.

I hope you're as enthusiastically keeping track of the lies told by the

If not, don't worry because I am.

By the way, if you think the tax increase was so terrible, why do you suppose
the Republicans voted against repealing it?

Wrongo.  The people that ran on the "We'll undo the Florio taxes"
didn't even make an effort to the property taxes (the sales tax was
NOTHING compared to what everyone is charged in in property taxes).
The entire "Get rid of your incumbents" campaign was a lark to get rid
of Democrats (the majority) and put in a new slate of Republicans.  It
worked, and now the new people aren't keeping their promises.

It's interesting that the following year all the states that hadn't
raised taxes when Florio did were forced into raising taxes because
they were having ECONOMIC CRISISES.  It looks like Florio knew what he
was doing by raising taxes a little and forestalling problems.

Heaven forbid that government should be pro-active.

I'd MUCH rather pay state taxes which generally get pumped into
services that I see being used, than federal taxes that go to
pork-barrel projects in OTHER states, paying debts (NJ has none),
and paying for million dollar toilets in the military.

Heck, if the federal government we really wanted to save money they'd
ban heterosexuals AND homosexuals from the military!

Hi!

My wife and I are going to use the benefits of frequent flying,
and will take a trip to Germany, Austria, and Praque.

We will rent a car and drive for at least some of the trip, and
maybe "train" some.  

Here is the question:  
We need a VERY experienced GERMANY Travel Agent for hotels/inns/etc., 
special events, Opera Tickets, etc.  Someone who knows the innkeepers,
and can talk to them.  Also someone who will wash their hands of
us when we are on the trip.  (It has happened on two previous trips,
the travel agent had no interest as they had our money.)

Names, agencies, phone numbers, etc. very much appreciated.

Please send to tsterkel\@attmail.com.  If there is a stated interest,
I will compile and post in 2 weeks.

thanks,

I have no idea since I don't own a BMW.  Most
gas stations near my house have nearly the same prices.

On the Rt 168 in Mt Ephraim there is a station selling 87 Octane for
$.975 a gallon ( a no-name place ).

This isn't just in South Jersey, either.  I used to commute from
S.J. to Livingston (ack!) and I found the prices to be comparable.

I am not sure if your antenna is fixed or not, but there is such a thing
as a fixed antenna.  A fixed antenna can be removed by unscrewing it at 
it's base.  I have an Omni with a fixed antenna and I never take it off
to go through a car wash.  It just whips around on the car.  Even if it
broke it is cheap and easy to replace.  The same can't be said about the 
other types of antenna.

Try spraying it for a few days with WD40 and letting it soak in.  It 
probably got dirt or rust stuck somewhere inside he antenna.  If this
doesn't free it, you'll probably have to replace it.

   What makes you think that it is supposed to go down?  It might just
   unscrew.

   I haven't seen a retractable non-power antenna in many years.

They're all over the place, especially on later model cars. Often they'll
be in either the left or right windshield column.

Many car antennas are not designed to push down at all, and instead are
designed to be very flexible should it encounter an object.  This may
be your problem, or then again, it may just be stuck, in which case
a bit of Liquid Wrench or WD-40 may help.
