Who do you think has the fireplace in their condos?

Thinking they may have a NG fireplace not wood. These new yuppies do not want to deal with wood heat

Half the engineering dept at my company heats with wood. Same with our IT dept. Mostly white collar college grads with salaries right around 2x our local median salary. Like many geeks, they just like doing things the hard way and being frugal. Many also drive manual trans cars.

I'm one of these wealthy white collar techies of which you speak, but I'm not so young or urban, so don't call me a yuppie.

...this would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Apparently you missed that Mythbusters episode! Turns out, shooting fish in a barrel was not very easy!

I find the 1000$ fine offensive. Far too high and does not match the crime. You can speed through a school zone and only get a fraction of the penalty.

What's so bad about speeding through a school zone? With any luck you could get rid of some of those spoiled little punk bastards running around!

I'm with you! But, you can call me anything you want, just don't call me to early in the morning!

And don't forget to call me to dinner.
