It’s been that kind of week:
How was your week? What are planning this weekend? It looks like it will be a nice one outside…
For your weekend reading pleasure, here are a couple of reading suggestions:
Two Historical Documents from Two World Wars: A Grandson posts documents his Grandfather had from WWI and WWII. A wonderful testiment to a beloved Grandfather and a remarkable man.
Gold Star Families Take Secret Trip to Iraq: A really nice piece on how several families that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom, went to Iraq. They wanted to demonstrate that things are better than being reported. They are the anti-CindySheehan.
The “virtual border watch” is online. I registered and took a look. I’m not impressed.
Have a great weekend!!!
P.S.: I just have to post this picture again because it is just too cool:

It has indeed been that kind of a week!
I’ll be busy hanging door-tags in a continued effort to defeat the NHMCCD bond referendum and to encourage voting for the trustee candidates, Holsey, Crowder, and Blanton!
Have a great weekend yourself!
If you did not vote early, you need to prepare for an onslaught on Tuesday. We should declare Tuesday a holiday. Do you think we could convince Congress to do that?
Looks like HAL .is beter today-8:11 AM.
If you’re ever in La Habra Heights, Calif. and…
1) See someone drowning… DO NOT RESCUE.
2) See someone in cardiac arrest… DO NO CPR
3) See a car on fire… DO NOT EXTINGUISH
or else you’ll get a letter from the city atty in effect stating, “We write to remind you of the prohibition on unauthorized rescue/medical/firefighting activities within the city and to demand that you cease and desist from conducting these operations within the city limits of La Habra Heights”
#3 is he? le’t just see, I haven’t been able to post comments since yesterday at noon. consider this a test.
Jackpot, HAL is BACK.
Data Banks:
Bought a tire and the kid hands a card and says to fill it out.
“What’s this?” ‘It’s your registration, we send it to the DOT.
“Oh.”
The Texas Data Bank er Texas Border Watch, citizens have to register
to use a system they paid for. “Huh?” If the purpose for the website is to attract viewers why to they want to send me an email?
There is no way to filter unwanted emails, the only way to keep your box clean is not to register, there are other ways to verify traffic numbers.
First picture–witch has inelastic collision with tree–would be analagous to Mr. Kerry’s foot down throat episode.

RE the top picture. Pelosi has been found.
I’m trying to post but I believe my submission is being rerouted to some blog center in India. (testing 1, 2, 3)
Now let’s try this one…
If you’re ever in La Habra Heights, Calif. and…
1) See someone drowning… DO NOT RESCUE.
2) See someone in cardiac arrest… DO NO CPR
3) See a car on fire… DO NOT EXTINGUISH

Ever put on a jacket the first time of the season, reach into the pocket and discover a piece of candy, gum, or chapstick from last year? Are you tempted chew, eat or use it? All I can say without going into too much explanation is… DON’T! It’s nasty! Trust me on this one.
Your sage advice holds true for condoms as well. (Using, not chewing)

Stay away from last year’s ham samich also.
Not to mention last years Easter eggs
Hillary’s practice campaign outing reveals a couple of flaws.
#7 Nat the DOT tire registration is to track the tire in case of recalls or defects. Remember Firestone?
Okay, HAL, have I received a reprieve?
Outstanding, HAL. I take back what I said about you yesterday. Most of it anyway.

Finding $20 is much more fun.
#24 - how about finding a $2 bill? My husband did find one yesterday (he gets them from the bank and gives them away as tips).
The Photo
I was wondering what happened to my second ex-wife. In fact, the broom handle is right where I put it when I threw her out the door.
R-Cee I agree. The picture quality leaves a LOT to be desired. With what this is probably costing us, the state should have set up cameras with real lenses and not the ones that were recycled from their old ViewMasters.
Hopefully it will come together eventually, because it is listed as a TEST.

I don’t think these cameras will do the trick. They are a waste of time and effort. Good thing we are only spending $5 million tax dollars on this project.
As you go to vote Tuesday, keep this in mind -
The reality in today’s America:
For the most part, politicians, lawyers, government employees and officers, and judges, do not really care what the law says. Read that sentence again and then burn it into your memory; it will save you a lot of angry days and sleepless nights.
There is a vast difference between what the law says and “how the system works”. Here is something else for you to burn into your memory - the system has been hijacked from The People and it now functions for four primary purposes:
1. Government control of persons and property.
2. The receipt of revenue, either by lawful action or extortionate conduct.
3. The protection of the system that provides for points 1 and 2.
4. The protection of persons who facilitate points 1, 2, and 3.
If you are one of the uninitiated, the statement made above may seem somewhat reactionary to you. However, all one need do to learn that these statements are true is to stand your ground when the government accosts you and they are legally in the wrong. If you are a person of integrity and good faith, you will expect your government to sit down with you, read the law, and cease their unlawful actions against you. What you will not be prepared for is the attack that will be made upon you by your government in retaliation for your audacity! On the other hand, if your government is not accosting you, but you notice that it is acting in a manner that is contrary to the written law, if you bring that fact to the government’s attention, the government will fall completely silent and never respond (with anything substantive) to your comments, observations, or requests for correction.

Ok lets see if I can post again…
The PTO I am co-chair of got a notice on House Bill 3 which states in part, “From information we have gathered, it appears this business may be considered a taxable entity and subject to franchise tax under the revised tax provisions.”
WHAT!!??! Did they miss PTO in the dba? Did they miss the non-profit documentation?!?! Did they miss that slew of data I had to send in LAST YEAR to prove we were a charitable organization???
If you haven’t already voted, VOTE EARLY ON TUESDAY. I think the lines will be long, especially in CD-22.
This is frigging unbelievable! Let’s fund what our services need.

We and we alone are responsible for bad Govt by voting straight party line ticket.
Govt should represent majority.
Since one party cannot satisfy the majority , people in Govt should be from different parties representing varied issues to varied voters.
Then and then only our rant will subside.
Hello? tap tap tap…ahem…™
May I have your attention please?
Has anybody been to the virtual border website? I refuse to give them my e-mail address, so I gave a fake one. It came back immediately that my address was invalid. Dang it! First of all, what in the heck is a virtual fence gonna accomplish? Don’t you think that most American’s have better things to do than watch and report “activity”? I think if Mr. Perry would install a semi-auto matic weapon, along with the camera, and when we see “illegal” activity, we can use the space bar and enter to shoot the weapon. I think this would have a better participation output….just a thought
I have been to the virtual border and it was disturbing to say the least. My flabber was gasted.
In fact I worte about it here.
Is Squawk trying to worte again? At least Hal has put down the pipe for a while…
Here is a bit of trivia….anyone know why they named the computer “HAL” in the movie?
O.K. Mr Hal is on Crack…..Jimb: Still got strawberry preserves and BB pickles, and a Kinky sign and bumper sticker with your name on it!!!/Loading my gun right now…
Y’all need to quit changing your names. You should hafta pay a 25$ penalty fee for misuse of LST!!!
Ha!™ I haven’t changed my moniker in a long time! I need to get out there to pick that stuff up! Maybe I’ll take Friday off or something…
geez - I have heard that one before. I don’t remember. I’ll have to see what Google tells me…
Ahhh, That’s it. The official line is that HAL stood for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.
The other theory, rejected by the author, is that HAL was a one-letter shift from IBM.
jimb: Hafta leave by 3pm on Friday to pick up my twins from school..If I’m not there, Cindy will know it’s for you. (note to self…clean dust offa lids!
)
Squawk: excuse me for being ignorant, but was the arrow where the actual website showed and you had to ZOOOOOOOOOM, to get the photo? And were those people showing (butt) crack? CRACK KILLS!!! Old, free computer, sorry!
jimb
So Al Gore invented HAL? Wiki is your friend! p.s. what is “heuisterically” and what is “algorithmic?” Dumb blondes want to know!

Dang Neo: I’m gonna call you butter ’cause you’re on a ROLL~
I am sorely disappointed with the virtual fence…sigh…. DJ…I’ve bought more ammo! Will y’all let me tag-a-long with my 22 year old “good shot” son? PU-LEEEZE? I promise I will speak intelligently for the news video…..
My best friends husband has an alternative to the border issue regarding the “Rio Grande”. He suggests that we tap into Mexico’s oil, put a pipeline to the Rio Grande, and at random, hit a button to Flame the River…you gotta 50/50 chance!
A flaming border WOULD be much cheaper than a fence, don’t cha know!

As my grandma used to say, “Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit!”
I “signed up” for the virtual fence thingy and have my “password” at work (forgot to write it down). Thank goodness it is only a “test” since it falls short of being any kind of successful program. Stop throwing money at this crap and train more border patrol! Spend the money with the Sheriffs’ departments and get the freaking job done! I am sofa king irritated at this.
There’s a lot of sofa kings out there, no?
Geez, Neo; can we call you an IRON Fist in a VELVET Glove now?
THAT, my friend is what you are! (I need to take notes)
Jim
Hee hee! I saw an advertisement for Sofa King in New York! Too funny, IMHO!
Southerntragedy
You definitely don’t need to take notes from such as me! I get into trouble allthatime! You do very, very well on your own! When are we getting together to put up stuff? Apple butter sure sounds good, but it is a 12-hour labor of love, and worth it! I scraped the last of your jam out of the jar last weekend! Soooooo good! The pickles were gone in 1 day! Thank goodness I didn’t have to share them with anyone!
Neo: Gimme back my freakin’ jars and you can have more! (or we can save them for the apple butta!) Pssssst! Fresh cow! Whatcha want? Roast? Ribeye’s, Sirloin? NancyDrew hasta come though!
My garden has pretty much drowned..The only thing I have left are the celebrity tomatoes,(dang, I love this breed!) and the corn is looking iffy…Radishes are skinny, but am nursing them and will re-seed with the lettuce….(Please “lettuce” pray I will score this season!)

I have PLENTY of jars — may need to buy a few lids, but lots of jars! This was always my concern when I gave stuff away. I cannot believe people actually throw those jars away! Gotta inspect those lids though - don’t want any gaps in the “rubber” around the rims.
We call ours HAL, because it stands for:
Heck! Another post Lost.
Wino….I look forward to ALL of your posts….good or bad!
I understand!
Neo: Lids I NEVER re-use,(I like a tight seal) and bands, are cheeeep! Gimme back my jars! You will get a refill!
Okay, just checke out Grubner Hairies virtual fence. That is the poorest excuse for a - well, if I put down what I really think HAL will never post it. BUILD A DAM_ED FENCE AND PUT ARMED MILITARY PERSONEL EN MASS ON THE DAM_ED BORDER!!! It may not stop them all, but it will at the very least stop 95% or more. The other 5% can be rounded up, put in jail for a year - in a tent city somewhere in the TransPecos area of West Texas - and then deported to Oaxaca (Southern Mexico)!
How about those Aggies? Can we put Coach Francione in jail for not running the ball behind a 300 pound back on 3rd and goal?
Not just 3rd & goal - ON THE @&%*# 2 yard-line!!!!! IF they stop him, he still has a 98+% chance of making 1 to 1.5 yards and you give it too him again on 4th!!!
Up til that play, I was thinkin’ “Okay, maybe he might turn out to be okay.” Now . . . get a rope! I know of several nice oaks all over campus.

Rumor has it that there may have been a TD…but I’m no college football coach. It was a pretty field goal though.
Hell, run twice!
Pretty as in “my sister’s pretty”. Pretty FG aint the same as the rumored TD. Even at Aggieland, 7 beats 3 every time.

That play calling ranks right up there with the DA playcalling by Missouri’s coaches to go for a fake field goal after getting a 5 yard delay of game penalty and going for the fake anyway. DA standing for Dumb A$$!

#71,78:
It’s called Justice, Sluth. (shouldn’t that be spelled sleuth?)
Do you suppose the district was keeping a running tally on the mailed-in ballots, and that their excuse for cancelling the election had more to do with them losing both on the bond and on the trustee election, and less with their failed efforts to get people trained for manning polling places?
Bottom line is: They tried to hide the election. They got caught. They cancelled the election - ergo - there was no election, so…cough up the results - Immediately!
All this could be grounds for a lawsuit later on, depending on the results of THIS election. They tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate, and now they have to pay the price for their underhandedness!
Payback!

Saddam found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. What a surprise…
Mornin’ All. Happy Sunday! Momma and I was talking that maybe after Church that we should do something outside together if it ain’t raining. She suggested that we take down the Christmas lights, get the reindeer out of the front ditch and paint the front door red. My thought was to get a used tire for the old Dodge truck, remove the concrete blocks, hook up the chain and pull it behind the van to see if we could get it running again. We thought we’d let you guys vote. We’ll be back a little after eleven to see the comments and which ones we’ll do today.
#81 - Saddam will walk away from this. You just wait and see.
I vote for getting a used tire for the old Dodge truck….

What are you guys complaining about. The virtual fence will work perfectly: All virtual border crossers will be stopped by it.
The real ones will get through, though.
May I have your attention, please? My friend just told me about this website, and I gotta tell ya, I think it’s pretty cool! Rumor has it, that the police are not fond of it.

#54 Edison invented a bunch of thing, but, electricity wasn’t one of them. Seems like God might have done that and George Westinghouse figured out how to get it to peoples houses.
JRB

I was “talking” about light bulbs, not electricity.
Here is a history lesson:
Electricity and Lightbulb - History
Replica of original lightbulb - patent # 223,898
Thomas Edison’s greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn’t “invent” the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light. The idea of electric lighting was not new, and a number of people had worked on, and even developed forms of electric lighting. But up to that time, nothing had been developed that was remotely practical for home use. Edison’s eventual achievement was inventing not just an incandescent electric light, but also an electric lighting system that contained all the elements necessary to make the incandescent light practical, safe, and economical. After one and a half years of work, success was achieved when an incandescent lamp with a filament of carbonized sewing thread burned for thirteen and a half hours.
There are a couple of other interesting things about the invention of the light bulb: While most of the attention was on the discovery of the right kind of filament that would work, Edison actually had to invent a total of seven system elements that were critical to the practical application of electric lights as an alternative to the gas lights that were prevalent in that day.
These were the development of:
1. the parallel circuit,
2. a durable light bulb,
3. an improved dynamo,
4. the underground conductor network,
5. the devices for maintaining constant voltage,
6. safety fuses and insulating materials, and
7. light sockets with on-off switches.
Before Edison could make his millions, every one of these elements had to be invented and then, through careful trial and error, developed into practical, reproducible components. The first public demonstration of the Thomas Edison’s incandescent lighting system was in December 1879, when the Menlo Park laboratory complex was electrically lighted. Edison spent the next several years creating the electric industry.
The modern electric utility industry began in the 1880s. It evolved from gas and electric carbon-arc commercial and street lighting systems. On September 4, 1882, the first commercial power station, located on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, went into operation providing light and electricity power to customers in a one square mile area; the electric age had begun. Thomas Edison’s Pearl Street electricity generating station introduced four key elements of a modern electric utility system. It featured reliable central generation, efficient distribution, a successful end use (in 1882, the light bulb), and a competitive price. A model of efficiency for its time, Pearl Street used one-third the fuel of its predecessors, burning about 10 pounds of coal per kilowatt hour, a “heat rate” equivalent of about 138,000 Btu per kilowatt hour. Initially the Pearl Street utility served 59 customers for about 24 cents per kilowatt hour. In the late 1880s, power demand for electric motors brought the industry from mainly nighttime lighting to 24-hour service and dramatically raised electricity demand for transportation and industry needs. By the end of the 1880s, small central stations dotted many U.S. cities; each was limited to a few blocks area because of transmission inefficiencies of direct current (dc).
The success of his electric light brought Thomas Edison to new heights of fame and wealth, as electricity spread around the world. His various electric companies continued to grow until in 1889 they were brought together to form Edison General Electric. Despite the use of Edison in the company title however, he never controlled this company. The tremendous amount of capital needed to develop the incandescent lighting industry had necessitated the involvement of investment bankers such as J.P. Morgan. When Edison General Electric merged with its leading competitor Thompson-Houston in 1892, Edison was dropped from the name, and the company became simply General Electric.
More on edison’s inventions.
http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bledison.htm
That’s all very interesting to know, but, Edison built his origional systems based on DC current. DC is not practical for transmission over long distances. Westinghouse developed AC current and the generators to produce same. And that’s why if you stick your finger into an outlet in your house {if you could} it will knock the fire out of you. They all got rich and we only got the bills.
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
- Oscar Wilde
97,
Actually, Tesla invented AC and the simple transformer. Westinghouse took Tesla’s ideas and Edison’s power system design and got us where we are today. My point was that Edison started it all.
JRB, DC will knock the fire outa ya just like AC. I know after working on AC backup systems with DC battery banks. There have been a few people killed also.
Squawk, I certanly don’t know everything, but like you and trucking, I have spent a working lifetime learning about all things electrical and electronic.
One of the Royal Medicine Colleges in the UK is arguing that doctors should be able to kill disabled babies:

The words ’slippery slope’ come to mind. As does ‘evil’.
Marc
And I spend most of my time listening.
Squawk, you are truly a God fearing man.
“Speak what you know to be certain and true, otherwise listen and grow in knowledge and faith”.
Don’t know Bible chapter and verse, but I rember that…from my dad many years ago.
And Squawk, In my house I spend most of my time listening also. For obvious reasons.
Tesla invented AC? And here I thought they were just another bad, big-hair ’80s band.
Seriously, didn’t he invent radio too?
Marconi- radio
I thought Al Gore invented all of the above!

I have a VERY wise husband!
Marc
I always figured it this way…..God gave me two ears and one mouth, Was not hard for me to figure out which to use more.
I also found out early on that I got in more trouble for what I said versus what I heard.
OK, I stand corrected and chastized,but, at least, it got a rises out of some of your guys.
In my house I talk to myself…listen then answer! No one else to talk with, other than my two cats, of course! They talk back!

I actually got that from an old joke that said if it weren’t for Thomas Edison we would all be watching television by candlelight! I just changed it up a little as to the bloggers. All in fun! No apology necessary.

Same in my house, except I don’t even have a pet at this point in time! Just talk to myself! I do have a grand cat though, named Presley (after the King).
I don’t know how to “comment” on this, or if it will contain all links,….. If this doesn’t make you want to vote Republican, then nothing will. Unfortunately, the NYT aired it because it thought you would be turned off by it. It only shows me what the Marines do and how they are so good at what they do. GOD LOVE our military!
http://hotair.com/archives/2006/11/04/nyt-page-one-photo-of-wounded-bleeding-marine/
When we lived in Houston we had two cats. One was raised indoors from a kitten, the other much younger one was a stray we adopted. They were both very vocal. I used to talk to them like people, and they would answer me.
When we moved to our country place in Waller Co. we tried hard to keep them from getting out, but they were so curious and sneeky they did get out a few times. The younger “wild cat” got out and wasn’t missed for a few hours. She was probably within voive distance. She finally turned up a couple days later with no claws. Obviously treed by one of our predators. She snuck out again and that was it.
The older cat was scared of grass. Why she wanted to test the jungle I’ll never understand…never saw her again either. Anyway, we miss our old cats.
We have sorta adopted a stray grey stripey cat that you can’t get closer than 3′ to. I have finally got him to talk to me after about a year.
No more hisssses anyway.
I give up! Nite All!
Sunny,
Cats have wisdom. In their silence they make more sense than most people. They just give you the ‘deal with it’ stare. Our office cat moves about the building as she pleases and seems to know who needs a listen. As a rule, she does not bother me except on those rare occasions when I actually try to work. Unroll a set of prints and its playtime.
#113 Marc:
The older cat still hates grass!
Psssst! I think your cats have found me, and they are fat and sassy!
Uhhhh, why are ya’ll still on this website? You should help patrol the virtual fence. Rick Perry is counting on you! Now git busy!!!
Marc and gtotracker…sure…these two of mine are very vocal too, because I’ve talked to them since they were kittens…they respond all the time. They tell me when they come in and when they’re on their way outside…they talk all the bloody time! lol We have great conversations the three of us…I think they make more sense than a lot of people I’ve stumbled across! (In particular, my landlord!)
It takes a special type of person to own or work with cats. I’m not one of those type of people.
Hey look! I can post again. How nice.

Your prescription will not solve the problem because it is the financial elite and their minions who are the real power in this country (and most, if not all, of the world). After all, if you could create money out of nothing there would be very, very few judges, politicians, bureaucrats, etc. that you couldn’t buy.
