My wife and I were in San Luis Obispo June 23 on vacation. That evening our room lights dimmed, a brown out. A while later we lost power. My wife looked out the window and reported not seeing any lights. After finding two LED flashlights I pulled out my hand held ham radio and turned to one of the local repeaters. (146.670 MHz). It took a while but within, I would guess fifteen minutes, we got a pretty clear picture…
You should seriously consider looking at and consider buying the March/April 2013 issue of Foreign Policy magazine (How Not To Win A War). It does an excellent job of looking back to how the United States has done such a poor job at waging war. I used the word “poor” while others may substitute the word “incompetent”. The issue mainly cites Afghanistan in its analysis. As part of this issue, they reveal how President Obama allowed for similar failed administration…
The Orange County Register (Calif), reports (Nov.1, 2012, News 8) that Romney would do better than Obama at breaking the logjam in Washington. The difference was ten percent. I believe that news reports have revealed that the Tea Party, a right side wing nuts of the GOP party, decided on the political tactic to obstruct, stop any cooperation with the Democrats. What might this suggest of the people participating in the pole? I might suspect stupid.
Any political party in one’s mind is evaluated by many criteria and obviously some are more important than others. If you talk to any individual they typically chose one principal point that they feel most important as an election issue. In this election many people feel that the economy is the most important issue but not all. When you talk to individuals from different ethnic groups you might hear that immigration issues seem more important than the economy. Many women…

December 10, 2011, my wife and I attended a party at a neighbor’s house. Two very interesting conversations I carried with me to reflect upon after leaving the party and I will share them with you. Both stories are allegedly accurate to the degree that the stories are truthful, as told to me. One husband and wife, both retired, told me that General Electric canceled their health benefits with no warning. The wife then complained that this benefit should have…
Question from LO McC: “What are your thoughts on the NRA’s increasing role in politics – saw the story in the New York Times“. Score Card Answer: My view is we need special interest groups and it naturally follows that they try to persuade issues. They speak for their membership who do not have time to individually pursue the issues. What I do not like is fierce tribalism, that being, our tribe is more important than this country. The special…
(Or allegedly stupid about some energy factors). Our pool pump went out the end of 2009. I did quite a lot of research and found out the following: Two speed or variable speed pumps are required in California to save energy. These motors are way more expensive than single speed motors. Every pool supply vendor failed to inform me of that California requirement and would be most willing to sell me a single speed motor. I was extremely surprised that…
Evidently donkeys at Marah Land Zoo in Gaza City were dyed with black stripes because real zebras would be too expensive to bring to Gaza. Let me spin this topic a bit from its original meaning and then turn it back upon itself. I love to drink zebras. The coffee store, I seem to frequent, simply has such strong coffee that I had to drink mocha’s to keep from having my eyes well up with tears due to the strong…
See also the article Gatekeeping Young Women I have come across a number of middle aged women who might have made a mistake in one of life choices that can significantly impact their lives and the lives of their children. This article will spend time exploring one of these possible life choices because we see a pattern repeat over and over again and wish to alert young women about this possible problem. The life choice pattern we are concerned about…
