After reflecting on the tragedy yesterday, I have come to the conclusions
1) That we should hug the ones we love frequently and minimize our exposure to the toxic people to the greatest extent possible.
2) Tragedy can and will jump up and bite you and/or your loved ones when you choose to act like an irresponsible jackass. Therefore don’t act that way.
3) Life is way too short to drink crappy beer whisky or wine so drink the good stuff. Ditto that for food.That is all.

From Yesterday, Shannon says;
There’s a rumor Adee was found face down, passed out in an Alabama Motel 6, surrounded by a couple dozen empty Blue Bell cartons.
So sad.😀

Well, I found that fascinating, Sarge. Do none of the 10 functions actually work? I watched you take it apart and show each itty bitty tool, but you didn’t say what was wrong with them. BTW, do you have a pony tail? Not that there is anything wrong with that, I hasten to add.The light didn’t work, the fire steel didn’t spark, the compass was a few degrees off of the North my Brunton compass showed, the ruler/magnifying glass was an inch long and made of plastic so it would have been likley IT would have caught fire before anything else, the thermometer read in celcius. The mirror and the level worked.

What type of camera does Sarge use? Is it a webcam? The curvature of the walls behind Sarge made it look like he was living in a big white cylinder. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I hasten to add.Its a Go Pro, and yah the fish eye thing is a bit of a distraction, but great for the outdoors. Does it make me look fat?

I would like to say that I am surprised, but I’m not. The guts of the article: over half of psychology studies can not be reproduced.

Tenth anniversary of Katrina tomorrow, let the festivities ensue!
Is it just me or is it odd to have parades celebrating the supposed worst disaster in world history?

The pool of federal judges is in dire need of a serious dose of chlorine.
HEADLINE: Court: Second Amendment also covers those in US illegally
/snip
The 7th Circuit panel, however, ruled unanimously Thursday that the term “the people” in the Second Amendment’s guarantee that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed also applies to those in the country illegally.It is becoming more apparent to me that there is a significant chunk of the population that is actively trying to destroy the country from the foundation up.

That dude, Ben Ghazi, is continuing to give the Hildebitch a bad time:
HEADLINE: EXCLUSIVE— BENGHAZI WITNESS: U.S. PROVIDED ARMS TO JIHADISTS WHO KILLED AMERICANS IN 9/11 ATTACK
The Obama administration may have provided the weapons used by some Islamist extremists to kill four Americans at the United States’ compound in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, according to a Libyan source who told Breitbart News he witnessed the attack first hand.
Breitbart News’s Tera Dahl spoke to the witness who was living near the U.S. compound in Benghazi when the attack took place.
Libya’s al-Qaeda-linked militia group known as the February 17th Martyrs Brigade was reportedly hired by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s State Department to provide security at the Benghazi compound, but failed to so the whole day of the attack, according to the witness.
It was unusual that in the morning of September 11, the brigade was not providing the typical level of security around the U.S. consulate and the ambassador himself, a sign that something was off from the start and a major red flag that there was something suspicious in the works, he added.
Read the article. HItlery, Jugears and thier ilk are evil and corrupt to the core.

I do not have a pony tail. Only ponies have pony tails.
I have long hair, and sometimes I wrap a rubber band thingy around it that might make it look like a pony tail, but I assure you its my own hair on my own head.

In the coming months, the [Texas Public Utilities Commission] — charged with regulating monopoly utilities — is expected to consider an unprecedented plan to deliver the conglomerate from its financial mess, with huge implications for the electric grid and Texas ratepayers. Along with the financial world, consumer advocates will closely watch the proceedings.

#24 – As I feared – the article is as confusing as the headline
Makes me wonder – is there ANY corporation on earth totally solvent / debt free?

It’s a complicated subject and deal. I thought the article was fine.Makes me wonder – is there ANY corporation on earth totally solvent / debt free?
Apparently not when they gamble on the price of natural gas.

One thing you can bet on – the consumer is about to get screwed. Sounds like another Enron fiasco in the making.
-
Enron was unique in that someone actually went to prison.
Now, upper management government and bank employees are immune, among others.
‘Fiduciary’ really needs to be discarded from our language.

Hey, I did say there is nothing wrong with having a pony tail.

I used to think Wagonburner spent hours scouring the bowels of the internet to find his endless parade of freak photos for this site.
Now I realize he’s just taking photos out of his family albums and posting them here.

RE OC pic Fashion Criminal: Yep, that is a crying shame, especially when there appear to be many more conservative garments on her cart.
Panty hose and flip-flops? Not sure how that even works. I mean physically, not sartorially.

TXU & Oncor
The old concept for a “publicly owned utility monopoly” was very useful to build this country. Now it’s just another failing, outmoded business model that remains immune to creative destruction because of the protectionist legal bulwark once used to ensure their survival in the worst times. Now the legal strategies use it to protect crony capitalists afraid of having to engage in real competition.

Last week I posted a link to the band that filmed in or west tower and in it, they had the NASA/GM Robonaut. I was going through some old pictures and found some from a few years ago when we ran a Qual test on him in our lab, here’s a picture of me instrumenting him.

The wisdom of crowds ?
Since July, American households — which account for almost all mutual fund investors — have pulled money both from mutual funds that invest in stocks and those that invest in bonds. It’s the first time since 2008 that both asset classes have recorded back-to-back monthly withdrawals, according to a report by Credit Suisse.
Credit Suisse estimates $6.5 billion left equity funds in July as $8.4 billion was pulled from bond funds, citing weekly data from the Investment Company Institute as of Aug. 19. Those outflows were followed up in the first three weeks of August, when investors withdrew $1.6 billion from stocks and $8.1 billion from bonds, said economist Dana Saporta.
“Anytime you see something that hasn’t happened since the last quarter of 2008, it’s worth noting,” Saporta said in a phone interview. “It may be that this is an interesting oddity but if we continue to see this it could reflect a more broad-based nervousness on the part of household investors.”

As Shannon noted above, it looks like Erika is going to kill us all. So, in order to save myself, I’m off to buy batteries and bottled water. I hope I get back in time to wrap my pipes before she arrives.

We tend to forget the fatalists because they tend not to vote. They view the world as foreign, chaotic, ephemeral, dangerous, on the edge of falling into bedlam. He used the analogy that their world is like a marble rolling unsteadily on a glass surface, rolling and pitching who knows where. Government has some control but is run by an untouchable, all-powerful elite acting in its own interest. Such a world can only be tamed by something enormously powerful and masterful, and only during a crisis. Then a strong central government supported by angry, patriotic nationalists and led by a popular Napoleon on his white horse can arrest the anarchy. Trump’s autobiography is titled Think Big and Kick Ass.
Buchanan tapped into the same world—although with vastly more intellect and subtlety—but he learned Wildavsky’s lesson. Fatalists do not vote, except perhaps enough to win a primary or two, and the elite strike back hard. It is difficult to sustain the anger, although Buchanan came closer than many remember. Trump may turn out to be more fortunate since popular resentment has risen to a boil this time. Bernie Sanders taps into it too, and when fatalists do vote they might go for either party. But the Vermont socialist has no horse; Trump has billions and the celebrity, willingness, and audacity to ride them.

I’ll post the Ticker Dude’s without comment (He didn’t make any comment either)

uh oh noticing….

Why, where did this li’l ole #42 come from???

News is slowing coming out about poor pitiful mistreated murderer Vester Flanagan’s work history. Apparently he was never worth a damn, couldn’t do the job and also couldn’t get along with people. But it appears that previous employers who had canned him were not giving him truthful reviews, if in fact they were ever asked at all. “… underwent a background check which netted only positive references.” So I guess previous employers were afraid to be honest about him.
-
So I guess previous employers were afraid to be honest about him.
Mrs. Bonecrusher is in HR at her company. She has been advised that if you give a negative yet truthful review of a former employees work record you can still be sued.
The HR gurus advise that if someone was terminated you can say that they were terminated and are not eligible for rehire. You are not allowed to get into specifics. -
Eighteen Hackberry trees, gone.
None less than 50 feet tall, most, much taller.
Most, no farther than twenty five feet from the house.
GONE! The tree man just left.This place looks totally different. Not sure I want to live here anymore. 🙂
Oh well, at least I won’t be left homeless or impaled by a hackberry.
-
Sold for lumber?
-
Never met anyone who wanted/needed hackberry.
But then I never asked.
Oh well if anyone wants it I know where you can have a lot of it for free. -
In fact, I know a state that has 1 billion miles of hackberry tree-lined barbed wire fences.
I’ll letcha have it all for a penny a mile.
-
So I guess previous employers were afraid to be honest about him.
Yeah, BC’s right. You can’t be honest. Because of our litigious society all you can do is verify employment.

Barf Kitty had me worried today. She s0unded really puny, wouldn’t eat or drink, and wouldn’t move off of her heated pad, scrunching on it like she did the last time she went all yellow on me. I put her favorite cat treats in front of her and she just pushed them around. The vet told me the last time that the trick to her getting better was to get her to eat – that would jump start her liver again. He told me to get some really smelly cat food and even heat it up to make it more smelly. Obviously, her regular food wasn’t doing it, so I went to the store this evening and got some of that really ‘spensive cat food, a “salmon with winter greens in a delicate sauce”. Whatever. I put it on a plate put it through the microwave, and was happy to see her eat.
She actually stopped crying, and just now crawled over some pillows to get some loving. She’s now eating again.
I’m hoping for a better tomorrow for her. Poor thing.

As for the HR thing – that’s true. I was trained to verify dates of employment, salary, and rehire status. Period.
Because even if it’s true, they can claim defamation. Crazy that I can’t say “he keyed the boss’s car and threatened to rape his wife because he got a bad evaluation”.
-
When I first bought my house 25 years ago the first thing I did was chop down the giant Hackberry. I’m still pulling up seedlings from that worthless tree. Now if I could just figure out a way to get rid of that huge Camphor tree right on the other side of my property line.
-
There are ways around it. After 35 years in the business you know all the players in your industry. “Off the record” is the modus operandi.
-
When asked about rehire status, I could say “yes,” “no,” or “hell no.”
-
Saw a turtle tail under one of them Hberry trees once.
-
My wife has got some doozy stories about all that.
All this crap goes to loser pays lawsuits.
-
I’m not even sure I know what a hackberry tree is. Won’t be able to sleep tonight for fear I’m surrounded by them.
Let me see, g_o_o_g_l_e._c_o_m….

Watching 20/20 about the reporter shooter, guess he can’t sue now, his history is all being layer out.

*layed out, edit won’t let me change it.

Anyone here want to have a fundraiser just so I can call John Beohner a jacka**?

You don’t need a fundraiser to do that. Have at it.

Sarge, this is for you.

This is for Sarge. You can even surfboard in them. Whoohoo!!!
This was Sarge many years ago:
