True statement, Pop
But there has been drugs of one kind or another in MLB since the '70's. And with the salaries the way they are, players will do anything to get an edge, unfortunately.

You'll shoot your eye out!

We have one of these, somewhere around the office. It is eye safe. Flies are pretty safe too.

Did you guys happen to catch the new Top Gear episode this week? Was about the competition between the big three for the next cop car. They had Ford, based on the Tauras, GM based on a Caprice, and Dodge based on the Charger. Then they did their typical stupid competition by the hosts. But it was a pretty good look at the next gen squad cars.

Okay, no spoilers. But will say I'm impressed with Tanner Foust, who drives for Ford sometimes.

I'm still wondering how they got San Pedro to shut down for filming, and permission to do 140mph over the Vincent St Thomas bridge!

Yes, he is actually a knowledgeable person, experienced racer, and does seem to lean toward Ford.

They let him drive the $200,000 Fiesta last season.

Saying $200,000, and Fiesta, in the same sentence just doesn't come out right.

I think they had it on the show more than once, but that was one of them. I seem to recall them driving the course that the celebs drive, too. And some kind of off-road course. The Fiesta is all-wheel drive.

Steve,

How deep did you investigate Bug-A-Salt?

If you go to their Videos section, here:
BUG-A-SALT: The Original Salt Gun
be SURE to play the video in the lower left! A HOOT!

Sick sense of humor coming out of those guys.....
