Default Sidewalk Astronomy

In another message thread, I replyed about setting up a scope for sidewalk
astronomy, the guy who started it has one of those sun viewing scopes. One
poster, who has been in my killfile for a long time, got all bent out of
shape after I listed just what he would need to set up on a sidewalk and
charge a fee for views of the sun, to bad he didn't take the time to find
out the facts are as I stated, I used to sell on the street when I was a
teen, down in San Diego, greeting cards,etc. and I learned about what I
needed to do that and what I needed to sell door to door.

Personaly, if he can do it, more power to him, but if he's not gotten
insrance,etc. I'd not care to be in his shoes the first time some scammer
firgured they'd make a fast buck off of him.

I was set up last night, and as I don't charge, I can do so Freely, and I'm
known enough now that even the cops and firemen wave at me as they pass the
corner. He also made the statment about car parts, heck I'd not said
anything this year at all, I'll be heading to the junkyard in a short time,
got a message they got my replacement wiper motor for this car, haven't have
wipers for 8 months now, no driving in the rain for me, and I've got plans
to operate on the cars roof to vent the exhust gas out the roof. I wish the
car designers had kept the old style vent windows in the cars.

Hay, I just might by a Lotto ticket today, Ca. lotto is up to over 100 mil,
I'd settle for a grand or two on my ticket ;}

But hay, the old Mad Max V0.5 car keeps on going and that's what counts.

In the meantime Doink stays in the old Cyber Black Hole, and Sunseeker had
better not quit his day job.

"Free" doesn't release you from liability.
