Hey Wise Guy Seth,
 
Up until a few weeks ago I would have fired back about how at least we  
don't have to worry about EARTHQUAKES.  But, as you well know, we recently  got 
hit with one over a wide expanse of the east coast.  I was sitting in a  
hard wood chair in the kitchen with no padding (other than the "naturally  
occurring" kind) and felt the chair shake just like somebody was driving 
pilings  to erect a new house nearby.  But there was NO sound!  Then a brief  
respite and another shake, much larger this time.  I expected to hear a  loud 
noise from an explosion outside but it was absolutely QUIET, except for the  
clock falling off the top of the TV set.  I immediately turned on the TV  and 
discovered you west-coasters had somehow sent one of YOUR quakes to  
disturb our eastern tranquility.  Just you wait until I figure  out how to send 
some snow and frozen rain to your tropical  paradise!!!!!<GGGGG>

Incidentally, a disadvantage of installing the  transponder  on top of 
the front license plate is that at that location it is   susceptible to 
being 
coated with frozen sleet/rain which can result in  a  inability to transmit 
a clear signal to the toll pickup  "readers".  I got a  message to have my 
transponder replaced  caused by the ice buildup  covering it. 
 
What is this "ice"(sleet?) of which you speak? Did it fall out of  your 
Iced Tea?
