      The wife and I agreed. We hope it was just a dumb move and not intentional. Otherwise with allies like the US who needs enemies?

      My wife and I turned to each other and wondered how no-readers would follow it. We loved it and I was applauding at the end!

      Stawberries heeled in last night. Rasberry bushes planted next to garage. I am estimating about 4 pickup loads this week-end of top soil should keep me busy.

  12. Atlas Shrugged - The movie! Schedule to realase about 15 April. No if we can get a showing in Pittsburgh...

  13. Kinetic Military Action - Is that like "No not a bug, a feature" ? I used to think words meant something. Maybe we should switch over to talking in binary.

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      At least in binary we know True means True.

  14. There has been a run on radiation detectors. Do I sell mine now or hold-out to barter for gasoline later?

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Hint: In a pinch a radiation detector can be built out of a styrofoam cup and some tin foil. The tricky part is calibrating it.

      Buy low, sell high. You could probably buy it back for half the sales price in a month or two...

  15. Are You ready for TEOTWAWKI ? Excellent book! Fast read. TEOTWAWKI - The End Of The World As We Know It.

      plese stock up on canned goods. A pantry full of canned goods will allow you to help others when the time comes. I prefer Dinty Moore myself.

  17. Beaming after learning my son aced his first term and has discovered the wisdom of Proverbs. It is enough Lord, I am not better than my Father.

  18. Home to learn that Olivia has decided that my wife is "Ma" and I am "Pa". The best title I have have ever had.

  19. Dumber than a rock and getting dumber.

  20. After support call I find out I wired the widget wrong. When it comes to deadlines, I am glad I was wrong (and not the widget).

  21. It is now Friday the work week is over and I can now switch to Super Bowl Mode!

      Jets made it interesting in the 2nd half. I almost turned the game off.

    2. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      In the Ravens game, Baltimore gave me a scare. In the Jets game, the Steelers gave me the scare.

  24. The universe will be saved by fuzzy bears. I should not be suprised.

      In the early 1900's Wilson locked up people for what they said. One guy locked-up due to reading Bill of Rights in public.

      "The worst of the recesion is behind us." B. Obama. As for myself, God, gold, and guns ... in that order.

  25. Black spots on my lab coat, burn holes in the knees of my insulated cover-alls, betray four days of welding trial and errors. Note: cleaning the visor helps litle when your breath fogs view.
