Puddleboy, I am more of the impression that someone never quite left childhood. ;-)

Bill, my friend, I pity you. What a mess! 8`-)

I was just looking back at one of the sites I referenced earlier:

You'll notice that it says that the emesis basins they sell are "autoclavable." That's the autoclave that Motts shows in some of his other pix:

The idea being that rather than having to replace your equipment after it is used, you can save money by purchasing items that can be sterilized and re-sterilized via an autoclave. Obviously, if your autoclave is not working well it cannot properly sterilize your equipment. The initial cost of the autoclaves, the fact that they use energy, the fact that you have to take time to sterilize the equipment (with its concomitant paperwork to assure you have done this correctly for infection control issues), etc., etc., sometimes makes it more economical to purchase plastic and paper items that can be easily thrown away when you are finished using them. And, of course, no one ever even thinks that their own personal shiny stainless steel sterile-looking emesis pan may have been used by someone else previously. ;-)

We do, indeed, love you, our friend Ed from Oregon! :-)

I heard that they were making the area a reservoir, so the state bought all the houses. but as you can see, no reservoir.

My German teacher in high school (early 80's) used to show us films that went with the record too. Always just a second or two out of synch as well.

Scratch 'n' sniff!

This is the "Ed" we all know and love, the "Ed" posting above me is someone different ;-) - Ed from Oregon

you know how to shoot them good job. I would love to be there in person. I love that kind of stuff.

wow I am new but you take good pics

Now this shot is impressive.

Thanks awyper, I'm learning!

Thanks Motts, I'm not a camera techie at all, as you can tell. I love the way you use different lenses and angles to make your shots so much more interesting.

Thank you Ed. :o)

Awyper, that's too cool! What department? I was in Auto Club until they integrated last year, now I'm in Member Services, or "Association Services". :o)

Hopefully it won't ever be torn down Rebecca!
