A wife says to her husband one weekend morning, "We've got such a clever dog. He brings in the daily newspapers every morning." Her husband replies, "Well, lots of dogs can do that." The wife responded, "But we've never subscribed to any!"

Sun and fun

I can't recall the name of the restaurant, but it's downtown, kinda right in the middle of everything. At the time it was the only cuban spot in Asheville that I was aware of anyway...If I remember correctly it was on a corner....Very small but always packed. You are right about the selection of places to eat though....sooo many to choose from.
It's just across from The Grove Arcade with the Dragon Gargoyle statues out front

I hear that brotha
Another thing made me happy today, I pre-ordered the TSRTS Vinyl set hope I'm one of the lucky 100
I will get those too. After all this CD crap I'm returning to vinyl. These CDs really aren't sturdy or sound as good as the old vinyl master discs. Why do I feel ripped off?
Good luck on the white wax's dzl...

You better bring your guns with you! Or the injuns will get you! LOL
Errr, I would look pretty odd with my gun back then. What's say you try it first. I will take cash and buy a new S&W or Colt .45
<edit>
Correction, I better convert the moolah to gold and take the gold.

Many reasons.
The equation for bending stress is Mc/I, where M is the bending moment, c is the distance from the neutral axis of bending to the outermost surface of the material, and I is the area moment of inertia.
Because the diameter of wire that paperclips are made of is so small, the area moment of inertia (I) will be very small. Since this very small number is on the bottom of the fraction of the equation, the resulting internal stresses will no doubt be very high, eventually causing it to break.
You could fix this by using larger diameter wire, but then it would be heavy, and would not bend at all when you tried to paperclip a larger stack of papers together.
Another reason they fail due to fatigue is the cheap metal that paperclips are made of. Generally, the cheaper the material, the lower the yield strength.
A material will yield whenever the internal stress in a part (Mc/I) is greater than the material's yield strength.
Edited to add: You very well could design a paperclip with infinite fatigue life, but they would no longer be cheap, easy to produce, disposable, or economical.
I would rather forcus my efforts on something with a little more meaning
Makes sense to me. I used to bend them up just to feel the heat in them.

So far very nice. I loved the waterfalls yesterday and we gotta go back so i can get under it!!! Okay let's get going, i wanna try that Cuban cafe for lunch. Downtown Asheville is a great place! I'm trying to get Speed to post a pic of us...
Awww. Thank you ~tangerine~. Hope you enjoyed the guys at The Lobster Trap playing Led Zeps Tangerine for you. I know I sure did and the fresh lobster. Three cheers for 18hr Maine Lobster
:cheer: Tomorrow will be Ghost Town and then Biltmore House. Today was Cherokee, Nantahala Gorge, Fontana Dam, Fontana Village and lake.....

Three cheers for new friends B)
Thanks Dzl

Well, time to show my new friend more of our gorgeous city and tons of cool sites.
Never underestimate the power of the zeppelin.
Enjoy your day

If I had a time machine I would be in the wild west. Somewhere about the time railroads were getting popular.

I met "~tangerine~" from our board and she's a lovely easy going person.

CNN Sunday. They are on about some woman cutting another open at the uterus to steal her baby. For some reason I don't think she's mommy material...

Well, there's a lot:
1. I'd like to check out some dinosaurs.
2. I'd like to see the great pyramids of Giza being constructed, and the final product.
3. I'd like to visit ancient Greece and Rome. Maybe catch the murder of Julius Caesar.
4. I'd like to be around the time of Jesus. Maybe witness one of his miracles, and find out how close he and Mary Magdalene really were.
5. I'd like to visit some of my ancestors, because there is a big debate about the genealogy on my father's father side back around the 1750's.
6. I'd like to be there on the grassy knoll the day Kennedy was shot (not to see him die, but to maybe gather some new info).
7. I'd like to go back in time and make some investments in the stock market.
8. There are a bunch of Zeppelin concerts I would like to go to, starting with the first. Of course I would have to take today's recording technology, so we would have a few more bootlegs.
9. I'd like to go back and ignore the girl who became my wife.
As much as I would like to see Bonzo and some other rock stars not come to an early end to their lives, I wouldn't want to change anything that affects other people (except #9).
How about if I just tag along

Miss
Well then, cheers luv...

Thanks, Speed Racer!
Your welcome sir/ms

Hey,
I like that book smiley
Get well fast. -
Somone asked me about Chim Chim. I told them he was on writers strike. Actually I felt bad about selling him to Suburban Auto several years back.
Chim Chims new job
Rumor has it with the decline in auto sales Chim Chim will return to me and Trixie very soon.
Thank you for asking.
I hear that brotha
