I guess I was eluding to the frequency of incidents that we've been
seeing lately, and strayed from the focus of Rancho Murietta. If it's close enough for a $100 hamburger, than it's too close to home! ;-) Todd |

oups.com... I guess I was eluding to the frequency of incidents that we've been seeing lately, and strayed from the focus of Rancho Murietta. Frequency? I just saw a comercial on TV from some insurance company that claims there is an automobile accident every 5 seconds in the US. How's that for frequency... 0.2Hz -- Geoff the sea hawk at wow way d0t com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail Spell checking is left as an excercise for the reader. |

At least according to this link: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/mor_fal_inv_bed Another good reason not to get out of bed in the morning! And it seems more people die falling out of bed (1616) than in aircraft accidents (1553): http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/...cau_inj_to_occ ;-) |

It's a good thing every car or siesta accident doesn't get reported on
our local news! ;-) Can you imagine? "Joe Dirt died this morning while falling from his pillow-top queen... It was a text-book fall, as you can see while I'm panning out...... hang on a second...... this just in....... we have another apparent sleeping accident up-town.... it is unclear as to whether there are any fatalities, but we will bring you details, as they become....... hang on a second..... folks.... we have another one................." Cheers! Todd |

They always automatically report it's a queen. It was, in fact, a full size bed ...reporters! Next they're going to tell me it was a Serta mattress, when it was clearly a Sealy Posturepedic ....reporters! Montblack |
