Your brain is faulty wiring
the reason for tiring
Keep treating the curse,
Imagine the worst
Systematic, sympathetic
Quite pathetic, apologetic, paramedic
Your heart is prosthetic

Faulty logic? You work here, so you must be trustworthy with the bottle. ;o)

Taken with a Sigma 100-300 EX lens, too bad it turned out to be faulty, as did the other TWO I tried in store... hence the folder of pics about/from a Canon 300mm f/4 prime!
Think I'll steer clear of Sigma in the future.

Faulty injector from cylinder #3 with 138,000 km.
Fair bit of crap on the tip of the injector which may have contributed to the misfiring, only way to know is to clean it up and put it back in, but not going to bother. There was stuff covering the outer part of the tip to the white section, protective cap that I put on removed most of that sooty stuff.

Winchester Star, August 8, 1981
By IRVIN SHENDOW
Recently I have become disturbed by the faulty thinking and misinformation in The Star's letters to the editor and Open Forum columns. Like most people, I when I read misinformation, I would rather chuckle and shake my head in utter dismay than take the time to write and question the writer.
A very important issue is in front of City Council: Should the special tax paid by landlords fronting the Loudoun Street Mall be continued, and should the landlords on adjacent streets be expected to support the central core through a tax of approximately one half that on the Mall landlords? Before I give my position on these two questions, let me give some information about who I am and where I've been.
I HAVE BEEN in a family-owned business on the Loudoun Street Mall since 1958. My brother and I own the business, which is located in three separate but adjacent buildings. One we own. Therefore, we are both tenants and landlords. Our business also has branches in four other cities, all in regional shopping malls. Therefore, I have a good understanding of the cost of doing business in regional shopping centers.
I served as chairman of the Downtown Development Committee from 1970 to 1976. These were the years of conception and construction of the Loudoun Street Mall. I mention this not to place myself as an authority but to state that I have been involved in operating a business and that I have a knowledge of shopping centers and the economic climate and progress of our downtown since 1958.
IT DISTURBED ME when I read one opinion that the special tax paid by the landlords would force downtown tenants to raise their prices, making them less competitive with the new Apple Blossom Mall.
It's obvious to me that this writer didn't realize that regional shopping centers have merchant association dues. These are approximately three to five times greater than the special tax being considered for the downtown core.
For example, a typical 3,000-square-foot store on the Loudoun Street Mall would be enclosed in a building assessed at approximately $70,000. At the tax rate of 49 cents per $100 levied on Mall landlords, the tax would be $343 per year. A building with the same valuation on an adjacent street in the downtown core, taxed at the proposed 25 cent per $100 rate, would cost the landlord $175 per year.
Merchant association fees in regional shopping centers vary, but they are in the 30- to 40-cent per square foot range. Even at the 30-cent figure, the shopping center tenant would pay $900 on a 3,000-square-foot space — approximately three to five times more than the downtown merchant. Also, when you consider that the total rent for the shopping center tenant is in the range of $12 to $15 per square foot, versus the $2 to $4 per square foot for downtown tenants, the idea of losing the competitive pricing edge to shopping center tenants is ridiculous.
SEVERAL writers to The Star have made the statement that the Loudoun Street Mall idea is a failure and has been
a failure from its inception. I wonder what statistical date[sic] they researched. In 1973 retail sales on Loudoun Street from Piccadilly to Cork were $17 million. In 1980 sales were $28 million.
Also, in early 1974 prior to Mall construction, there were eight store vacancies. From 1975 through 1980, the Mall has averaged from 1 to 3 vacancies per year.
Prior to the Mall construction, how many landlords gave a face-lift to their buildings? Not many. Since 1975 over a dozen buildings have been spruced up. Prior to the Mall, how many restaurants were located downtown? I would venture to say that we now have three times as many. I believe this helps discredit those who say the Mall is a failure.
I FEEL every citizen in Winchester is directly and indirectly involved in the vitality of downtown Winchester. Approximately 25 percent of the city's business is derived from in the downtown core. The sales tax collected on this business activity, along with merchant license fees, constitutes a large contribution to the city's tax base, money that helps alleviate higher taxes on all Winchester taxpayers. Shopkeepers and their landlords have a very keen interest in the vitality of our downtown core. Also, what about the people they employ? Our business, for example, employees[sic] 30 full-timers and a few part-timers.
The majority of store square footage on the Mall is owned by landlords in favor of a mandatory tax which will be used to promote the downtown shopping core. As property owners, my brother and I share in this concept.
I feel that all businesses and services, on the Mall and on streets adjacent to it, have a sizable financial stake based on the vitality of the downtown core. The accountant, lawyer, dry cleaner, insurance agent, and so on (especially those who also own their buildings) don't want their customers and clients to walk through a deteriorating downtown core to get to their places of business.
It's my belief and hope that City Council views the Loudoun Street Mall and adjacent shopping district as an integral business complex. I hope Council provides the 25-cent property tax on adjacent-street business properties to help fund the DDC's goal — keeping people coming into our downtown.
You don't have vandalism and deterioration of buildings and loss of tax base when you have vitality in an area. Businesses that locate on streets adjacent to the Mall do so for one reason —location and its benefits. For shop owners, it's the foot traffic. Without customers, cash registers don't ring.
If any store keepers not on the Mall think the foot traffic brought downtown by Loudoun Mall merchants is not to their benefit, why don't they move and pay lower rents five to six blocks away? The answer is simple: The shopkeepers want exposure.
THE LANDLORDS of business tenants in the adjacent area should be obligated in doing their share of promoting the downtown business core. They should be accessed the 25 cents property tax. It's my hope that Council provides this means of funding and bases its decision on what's best for the city at large.
