Totally fair judgement, I think it fits the album perfectly but it wouldn't be in my "Best Of" compilation.

Still re-listening, now I remember that Path To Arcady is quite good too. Another I'd put in the next-best category. Adulruna Rediviva also has its moments but wears out its welcome a bit due to length.

Just because it's been inactive for five days doesn't mean it's dead. Besides I was under an impression that it was meant to be more of an on-demand room rather than a continuously active one.

And this is one really big thing. People should say something if they want others in there. Just checking it randomly won't help.

I mean, why should I sit there waiting if someone happens to stumble over, when I can be in another room where there actually are others around. And yes I know, I haven't been exactly the most vocal about it either so yeah :p

Nope - bobcats aren't even that big, but hitting anything at that speed will do a lot of damage. In my case, $6000 of damage... plus a sore neck and cut on my shoulder. Actually not sure it was a bobcat since I never actually saw the animal (it was dark and raining), but that's what the tow truck guy thought it was based on the bloody fur on my crumpled bumper :meh: Pretty metal, eh?

One night i hit a dude's escaped prize steer at 80mph. Thank god it wasn't my truck, and thank Testament for the plow. Let's just say that i have no idea how i only walked away with cuts from glass shards and my entire chest bruised from the impact. As for the steer? let's just say that there would have been less blood if you threw it into a blender.

The accident wasn't my fault. I had both sets of lights on, it was night time, aaaaaand the steer was solid black. You couldn't see it until it was too late.

Only accident for us was a slow 5 MPH crash at an intersection during a thunderstorm in Maine (In our car we probably had for only a few months at that time). Guy turned when he wasn't supposed to and we crashed into the side of him.

Still cost nearly $1000 in repairs.

Literally the only accident our dad has ever got into in his life. And he's nearing 50-ish.

Have had various vehicle problems, though. I know our vans been tempted to die on us a few times, IN said Maine (We lived there for a year 1/5), the $600 car we got just shut off on us once on the highway (leading us to get that other van) and was totaled by merely the engine dying. And our truck we use right now (Which is OLD but has low miles) decided not to even try to start at a parking lot a while back, which seemed to be due to a wire falling loose, and then the battery seemed to die as well.

So nothing major, really...
