don't you want to drop something over to see how long it takes to hit, there are no suicide screens.

in my hometown, a big city, people have found a way to open and strip the copper from a certain type of alum power pole.
they would truck these.

Leg Braces

rick

if your legs are insensate they can cause terrible bone deep pressure sores which becoming infected can cause amputation and can take your life.

Body Brace

rick

i know exactly how that brace feels. it supports the back by placing a tiresome pressure on the front. i know the leg braces are jointed at the knee and have a spring loaded latch you feel for through your slacks to release when you sit. i know they make tiny holes in your pants that are really frustrating to look at. i know for some morbid reason you never throw an old brace away. i know.

Utensils

rick

like in a restaurant i wonder how many users.
i spend way too much time on this site. i think the photographer and i must share a similar facet, but i would have taken a four place setting. does this make me like a cemetary thief? (there are people who take ornaments.)
they appear to be totally discarded and one day to be swept away. whats the moral objection?

Overgrown

Rick

twisteddman...I'm near Salem, Oregon now. Can you give me any more details? I did see an Enchanted Forest Theme Park on the east side of hwy 5 while I was north bound. But it was like an amusement park. There is another one just south of Seattle also just off hwy 5 on the east. Again it is an amusement park. Anyway, I'll ask around also.....

Projectors

Rick

The Simplex XL projector heads are worth some bucks because they can be used in today's automated theatres. However, the sound heads would require modification to new red LED readers. The carbon arc lamps used copper coated rods that burned about an hour but required adjusting each time a new reel was threaded. The lamps are worthless for use in modern theatres.
