Rome, NY to Sacramento CA (2750 miles) Kissed my girlfriend goodbye at 9:30 am on a Friday and arrived in Sacramento around 3pm on Sunday. That is about 54 hours running for an average speed around 50 miles per hour. I did this in a '69 corvette which got about 11 miles per gallon. I stopped...

Yes, these are all legal(borrowing a CD, listening to Pandora and watching youtube videos). It is comical reading the self-righteous comments from people who would NEVER do such awful things.

What is the tire pressure in each of the front tires?

With regard to the study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1783563/ This study does not show what you have stated above. Rather, it is an observational study that compares people's fasting blood panel(s) to their self-reported dietary intake. If you have access to a glucose meter...

""Fruit upsets the blood sugar level and causes insulin release." that's patently false, as measured by people who've actually measured the response to fruit. Many fruits are actually relatively low-glycemic. "Taste" is not an indicator. Beef can raise insulin response more than raw sugar...

"little world of mainstream, pill pushing MDs." Yes, the US medical system has problems; however, if you explore how effective his advice would be with respect to the entire US population, it would NOT work. The amount of carbohydrate consumed in the form of grains FAR exceeds that of fresh...

He states: "This section incorporates our own research findings and that of many others who have worked with many fruitarians and others who eat or have eaten a lot of fruit for a period of some years, in most cases." So, he is observing people who are eating very high carbohydrate diets...

$3k per month doesn't even buy an assisted living facility around here (and this is a low cost area). Typical care for an Alzheimer's patient would be over $5k in a group setting. It sounds like they are trying to do too much with too little.

"large hypertrophic deficiency" what do you mean? (and why is it obvious)

Assuming she hasn't driven the car and her coolant reservoir had something in it when she started, little or no washer fluid made its way into the radiator; so, draining the reservoir and refilling with coolant would work ok. Can you estimate how much washer fluid made its way into the cooling...
