Ferrari Mailing List: Was: 10 Best Drives, now Ink Cost

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

Some time ago, someone posted the the cost of printing ink was a major  
factor in the recent rash of newspaper closings. Although some special  
commercial 
inks are sold by the pound, and are far superior in many ways,  newspaper ink 
is sold by the ton and delivered by big tanker trucks, cheaply so  to speak.
 
Ingredients are used motor oil, graphite, and other bonding agents. Believe  
me, in the overall modern metro newspaper production budget, ink is in the mid 
 to low single digit category.
 
In the old days, and sometimes even now, when you read the paper in the  
morning with your coffee, did your hands get all inky? That's before a bonding  
agent called QuickDry was put on the market. That's pretty much solved the  
problem, or kept the complaints to a minimum. At the Her-Ex, I was responsible  
for answering all the complaints that came in to the publisher concerning ink  
transferring from the page to the reader's hands.
 
That really put my (almost <g>) journalism degree to the test. I made  up all 
kinds of excuses, none of the blame went to us of course, instead,  I put the 
blame squarely on the (dirty, ink stained) hands of the  lummox who must have 
been raised in a barn and was getting ink all over her  nice new white 
tablecloth. I politely suggested that the offender use better  table hygiene. 
Sometimes I even scolded the writer for letting her husband, son,  or whoever, 
read 
the paper at the table instead of engaging in polite  conversation.
 
Funny thing, I never heard back on any of them. Go figure . . .
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Ever  hear of 'Deliverance'?  Bubba's lucky he keeps to the house as much  as
he does, heck, he could get reamed easy around them parts.  Hey  Willi, ever
get a cost estimate on printing ink?  Maybe Bobbie's lying  to us to make
payments on his Maserati Quattroporte.

1000s or more Great Drives out there and most are kept a secret so  the
crowds don't ruin it. ;-)

>   Hey Larry: If you are impressed  with the Stelvio, I would recommend
Catalina Hwy. from Tucson to the top.  22 miles, with a vertical elevation
gain of over 6,000 ft. Best taken about  5-6 am on a Sunday morning. Tom
Reynolds can verify, I  think.

Bismarck to Hot Springs, AR. At over 20 miles,  it winds up and down thru
pine forests and fields, it's not unlike the old  Nurburgring. The only thing
missing is the castle ruins and the ghost of  Peter Collins who died at the
Pflanzgarten in the1958 German GP while  driving his Dino 246 for the Old
Man.

the day.  Damn fine all weather tires back then.
