Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Test post because "message body left empty" warning when message body field was not in fact empty.

Happening to me too. Rather odd.

Why would you want to?

Considering that I'd probably be under the care of Sherrif Joe shortly after I appear, "want" may not come into it.

Seriously, I doubt I could last 30 days in AZ without jail being on the cards given how I usually behave.

And what the fuck is this empty field shit? getting that too.

It turns out you can run the entire utility plant from a smartphone.

Which is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of.  A triumph of technology over brains.

When I tried to reply to the message string that I originally experienced the problem with it happened again. Weird as fuck.

Right without all those sweaty plebian activities like walking and opening access hatches, or taking readings and manually PUSHING BUTTONS. The advanced primate has no need for such base concerns.   

Point of order:  If there's only one guy present, he should in fact rely on automatics.

Sheriff Joe is gone.  He got chased out of town a month ago.

And in Tucson, English behavior only stands out a mild bit.  We're crawling in Brits, actually, they've even taken to the Mexican soccer leagues.
