Dave,
The sad part is that Angus King started out as a good
governor for Maine. He was asked to give an interview
on Larry King show and turned it down stating "The
people of Maine don't pay me to give interviews." That
floored me when I first heard it. Since then, he has
signed bills such as the scrappage thing and we
(Maine) now have two mountains without a name (Big
Squaw and Little Squaw mountain) because the "Native
Americans" decided that a word they came up with and
used to refer to their females is now suddenly
offensive. Part of the charm and character of Maine is
the indian names for the many counties, lakes, rivers,
mountains, cities, etc.
Oh well...sorry for taking up the bandwidth with
non-LBC stuff.
Obligatory LBC Content-- I'm using a combination of
rubber undercoating, heat reflective paint, and the
foil padding under the carpet. Sound deadening is not
one sided. If you can baffle both sides of the metal,
it's less likely to resonate sound. Just my two cents.
