These films have different refractive indices and result in reflection, transmission, and absorptive characteristics throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Previous to that I owned a carpet and upholstery cleaning company for 15 years (sold it).

    Remember, I'm 53 so I've done other things. I was a semiconductor process engineer for a while. Also did some sales.
    I consider all those things old-timey.

    Carry on.

    A semiconductor process engineer is 'oldtimey'?

    Who can take the sunshine
    Wrap it in a sigh
    Cover it in sugar and make a strawberry lemon pie
    The semiconductor process engineer can

    Yeah, I bet all those old-time penny candy stores used to sell semiconductors too.

    You know, so when a kid was done with his licorice stick, he could build a nuclear missle launch control pad.

    Old-timey! Yeah, that's me. I saw The Clash in 1978. It was at The Opheum (sp) in Boston. The Undertones and Sam &Dave opened. I've also owned 43 motorcycles. I raced (road race, trials, and motocross).

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    I'm 23.

    Those things are old-timey to me.

    So is your car, because it uses "roll down" windows.

    Got it now?

    Speaking of concerts, is anyone else going to see Bob Dylan at McCoy in July? I'm stoked.

    I can't believe someone your age is into Bob Dylan! I saw him in Louisville in the early 60's.
    THAT"S old-timey.

    I've seen hundreds of bands. I saw The Ramones 4 times. My ears have not been the same since.

    Web Gems on ESPN just showed Damon's drop of Papi's fly ball. It's even better with music!
