Hey Rick, please explain your comments about me being a "book burner"? Don't know what that means and never did it, and a "Ray Bradberry" fan? I don't know who he is so I can't be much of a fan....I've been called many thing but these are new.....thanks.

ray bradbury writes science fiction. he wrote a book called "fahrenheit 451, the temperature at which books burn." it is a story about the destruction caused by people who burn books for political, religious, or any other reasons. i did not attempt to say anything mean about you, i thought you knew the reference and had chosen it.

Bud451 is from my father. Bud was his nic name and 451 was his badge number when he was a police officer (early 60s). My father passed 2 years ago and I started using this name then. It makes me think of him. Anyway...thanks for the explanation and I did not take it as an insult, I was just courious. BTW, I am not very political and certainly open minded and would NEVER burn a book. Thanks again Rick.

I once burned a cuban book, but I think it was fake. Smelled like a egg fart.

Thanks to bud for the why 451? To be honest I thought it might have some reference to Ray Bradbury! No, I have not burned any books, have read some that probably shouldn't have been published, but never burned one!

Thanks JJ, but might as well explain that it is a secret code for selling submarine seats and spy plane passes.........no, actually it is just a lucky number I have used for passcodes, since my wife's birthday is May 3 and most codes require four numbers........5-3-5-3! That's it! Or lucky numbers 53 times two! Charlie

Submarine seats. That's a classic Charlie! You must be a conservative who actually earned his income last year. How dare you...
