When I come across a site that requires compulsory registration, I
always try http://www.bugmenot.com to see if they have any
login/passwords on file for the site.
Came up with this for the NY Times site:
http://www.bugmenot.com/view/nytimes.com
There are a number of good combinations here.

I still prefer to do an end run around their silly "registration" scheme
by using Bugmenot. (Besides, it helps satisfy my requirement for doing
at least one illegal or at least frowned-upon thing daily.)

Izzat right? According to this discussion thread, there are (or at least
were as of 1999) places to buy kerosene in SoCal:
http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000rZH
I'm guessing at least *some* of these places still sell it.
(Here in NoCal the number of places that sell kerosene has dropped
significantly. The cheapest place around here is the Rotten Robbie's
over to Hayward, a fur piece from here.)

Where I live, don't have any bugs.
Bugs need water.
Water is in short supply.
Thus no bugs but also no song birds to eat them.

There still are/were some spots like that in Michigan for instance.
Have sailed into Harrisville, MI a few times which is in the L/P north
of Saginaw Bay on the Lake Huron side.
Harrisville is the county seat and has or had one traffic light.
Last time I was there was 20 years ago, things may have changed.
Where I grew up, 50 miles south of Cleveland, nearest neighbor was 1/4
mile away.
Today, they have cut a road thru the field next door, some of the most
productive farm land in the USA, and built a development.
250 million people at the end of WWII, over 300 million today.
We either reduce breeding or accept that things are going to be more
crowded.

Pretty much what I do. My tablesaw lives in the garage of a friend and at
the beginning of the summer every year when I go over for the first time, I
take WD-40 and some 0000 grit steel wool. Touches it up very nicely.

Other than the occasional cook stove and a lamp now and then, can't

The sources shown in that list are by and large commercial fueling

Have never seen a kero pump at any of them.

Here in SoCal you have a thing called SCAQMD, South Coast Air Quality
Management District, which supports itself by collecting fines it
assesses.
They have made sure that cero is gone except for a gallon or so from
places like Home Depot.
Good grief, they even went after charcoal lighter fluid a few years
ago.
That attempt died, but you get the idea.

WD40 has one major function that puts it above more pedestrian lubricants.
It displaces water. I had a distributor cap full of condensation and the car
just would not start. One blast of WD40 and she fired right up. OTOH, WD40
is not really a very good lubricant. Better than a poke in the eye, but I
wouldn't use it for anything that requires long lasting lubrication.
As for unique, no. LPS1 is a direct knockoff of WD40 and in my experience,
a superior product in every way. There's even different grades, LPS3 being
a thicker, higher viscosity, version. The one advantage to WD40, you can
buy it almost anywhere. I've even seen it in mini-marts.

It's not just HD that's charging these prices. A well known farmer's supply
chain is charging $10 gal in 2.5 gal jugs. Kerosene is so pricey, now,
it's practically killed off the kerosene appliance industry. I had a 28K
BTU kerosene heater, almost brand new. I couldn't even give it away, in CO,
in Winter! Who can afford to feed it? I just tossed it.
If you can still find a Chevron/Standard station with a garage, they'll
probably have bulk kerosene. Problem is, I haven't seen one in 10 yrs.

If you took all the people on earth and stacked them up like cordwood, they

At population density of Hong Kong, everybody on earth would fit in the

Unless you live in SoCal, you may not realize there are 4 seasons,
just like everybody else.
Unlike back over the hill, SoCal seldom sees temps below 40F.
Still rememmber my last trip back to Ohio in January when I was
reintroduced to -5F overnight temps and why I left in the first place.

Thanks to the efforts of organizations such as SCAQMD, smoggy
afternoons are few and far between these days.
As far as people, you just learn to live with it.
The traffic can be a pain, especially during morning/afternoon commute
if you work an 8-5 job.
I refer to the L/A basin as a paved dessert.
Trying to grow grass like an English garden is a total waste of time,
money, and water, especially water.

Kerosine is a popular moderator (slows the burn down) in the burn
between pure hydrogen and oxygen. Popular amongst rocket engines.
When pulling a charge of air into an air-rifle, a squirt of WD 40
turns it into a whole new experience. The fumes will 'diesel' the
pellet with increased velocity, and a 'flame' is actually visible.

I frankly don't give a rat's patootie whether you can or can't buy
whatever at your corner 7-11; a 5-second look indicated it's not
kerosene is not pure unobtanium even in LA metro...I don't think it

serving as a lubricant instead of dry scrubbing.
In fact, I would far prefer wet/dry paper and water for the specific

Get out the phone book and call gas stations until you find one with a
kerosene pump. There may not be many but there should be a few. Try
marinas too.
http://www.magicyellow.com/category/Kerosene/Cities.html has a list of
distributors--most of them want you to buy 50 gallons or more to get it
directly from them, but they should be able to tell you what retailers they
supply.
If you're using it for a solvent then paying Home Depot's ludicrous price
for a gallon can is not all that unreasonable, but I'd be damned if I'd buy
it there to burn.

Geez, if you're using so much of it that filling up a 5 gallon can becomes a
burden then call a distributer and have them deliver you a drum.

Haven't tried that; don't have the air rifle, just use the .22 short
instead...sounds like fun, however. :)
In a pinch I've applied it to rusted up stuff that needed torch heat to
break loose--it sputters and burns half-assedly rather than steadily as
does kerosene itself. I assume that's the effect of the other trace
additives.
I've looked up the MSDS previously for it; it's a slightly lighter
fraction than K-1; there's a trade/generic name for the base solvent
that escapes me just now and I'm not motivated enough to look it up.... :)
Somebody once me sent an urban legend about how the stuff is made in
individual batches by these specially-trained gurus who know "the secret
formula" and are essentially brew masters. The "passer-on" was
apparently nearly mortally offended when I pointed out they make the
stuff in tank-car quantities from commercially produced and available
standard industrial chemicals and add a few proprietary ingredients.
What a load of hooey has arisen over a mostly so-so product that has
served them well in marketing.

This was long ago; moved on to other areas after DOE finally pulled the
plug on the enrichment centrifuge fiasco so never paid any attention to
what became of AirResearch. Did run into a couple of the guys over the
years in various places and kept in touch w/ BBN fella that used to
drive down from Ventura weekly for quite a while but they were all even
older than I and retired years and years ago now--I only "years ago"
when returned to family farm in SW KS. Oh, and got to know the Delta
LAX/ATL/TYS flight crews to the point of exchanging cards w/ some until
both sets of kids were thru school. That's a clue you've been traveling

I was able to read it without registering or logging in -- I know I don't
have any cookies stored because I clean those out pretty much daily in my
