Can I be arrested in my home state for breaking a law in a different state? Hello, Recently I went on a canoeing trip in Missouri on the Current River. It is a well traveled tourist spot, mostly college students partying along the river while canoeing. Recently I was ticketed for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. I was told I have a court date in the court of the very small Missouri town many miles away from my home in Illinois. I have a few questions about the situation someone may be able to answer or direct me to a resource for the answers. Will Missouri state mail me anything or inform any government offices in Illinois of the incident? Would I be able to be arrested in Illinois if I missed the court date in Missouri? (i.e. I just dont show up and they dont bother finding me) Do the river conservation officers have the same authority as a real police officer? (College security, for instance can give drinking tickets, but they hold little or no meaning if unpaid)

Why does my summer feel stale? So I was very excited for this summer, I made a lot of plans for stuff to do. It started with a week long canoe trip to Missouri, which was amazing, probably the best camping trip I've ever been on. However, since I got back, I just can't feel it. I've been doing most of the things I've planned, but I just feel like something's missing. At night I always am in this depressed mood for no reason. I don't think stuff like "I wish I was with friends." I just feel depressed. Before my trip, there was all this raw energy. When I got back, it just died. It's been pretty rainy where I live near Chicago, leaving me inside a lot. However, whenever I listen to certain songs, that raw energy just all comes back, should I listen to them every morning? What should I do? Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Is this why foreign cars (Owners) are beating the pants off Ford, General Motors Etc..? A TALE OF TWO COMPANIES A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, While the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a Consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens and a certificate of completion for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower (a reduction in workforce) for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment. The Money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was "out-sourced" to India . Sadly, the End. However, sad, but oh so true! Here's something else to think about: Ford Has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, Claiming they can't make money paying American wages. Toyota has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US The last quarter's results: Toyota makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.

Is this true? I dont honestly know But just in case it is, What is wrong here, Personally I have no problem with ford going down the gurgler A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.

It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rowers. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The pension program was trimmed to 'equal the competition' and some of the resultant savings were channeled into morale boosting programs and teamwork posters. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid-off one rower, halted development of a new canoe, sold all the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses. The next year, try as he might, the lone designated rower was unable to even finish the race (having no paddles,) so he was laid off for unacceptable performance, all canoe equipment was sold and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India . Sadly, the End. Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US , claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US . The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses. IF THIS WEREN'T SO TRUE IT MIGHT BE FUNNY Yep I am very patriotic, BUT I am not an American Mrs H As usual an intelligent, real life answer

Sadly, the End. Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US , claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US . The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses... and now wants the Government to 'bail them out'. IF THIS WEREN'T SO TRUE IT MIGHT BE FUNNY

What aquatic critter would make a buzzing noise underwater? More details...? Does anyone have any ideas- We were canoeing last weekend on a still quiet day, and here and there in the water we could hear what was like a cell phone on vibrate or like a sump pump. It wasn't a steady humm, and there were different pitches. You could hear it ahead of you, and when you floated above it, it was very noticable. No bubbles, and we couldn't see anything. It gave me goosebumps, but the guys were fascinated. The little river we were on is a tributary of the Missouri. I'm the first to say I'm not a fisherman, so I'm curious what it was. The guys were wondering if it might be catfish. If so, why are they doing this? Thanks for your time clueing me in! I've caught a few catfish, and I've heard the noises they make on shore. The river is now flooded with all the rain we got this past week. Fisherman-We thought it was a pump of some sort too at first. This is a rural area, and I know my neighbors. People either have rural water or wells. Nobody pumps out of the river, it gets quite shallow in the summer. It's too early for irrigation, and the only activity on it is there is a crew replacing a bridge about 6 miles upstream. They had pumps going a couple of weeks ago so they could do the "footings" (sorry, I'm bridge illieterate!) but that wasn't what we heard. fastrmastrblastr-I did have my digital camera along on Saturday, got some great shots. The wind was blowing that day, and we didn't hear anything. Sunday we had a "first time canoer" along and I didn't want my camera to get wet, you know! That is the day we heard it. Wish I would have had it along now though. The canoes were aluminum, and you could feel the vibration in them.

A friend sent this. What do you think? I thought it was sad but true.? A Modern Parable A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford Motor) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India. Sadly, The End. Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.

Float Trips in Northern/northeastern Oklahoma? I'm looking to go on a float trip in Oklahoma this summer. We always go to southern Missouri, up the Niangua, but we thought we'd try something newer (and closer to Kansas) this year. Anyone know of any good spots? I'm looking for a campground that allows tent camping, outdoor fires, and alcohol to be consumed. Also, I'd like the float trip to be around 6-9 miles, in canoes, with alcohol also allowed. Price would need to be around $5-15 per person, per night, with the canoe rental being around $25-35 per day. If you ever have floated up the Niangua River near Bennett Springs, MO through one of the outfitters there, like Red Beard, Ho-Humm, NRO, etc., you'll know what I'm looking for. I want the exact same thing, only in Oklahoma.
