Here is another of them “artistic” photos. It shows the pipes down Cleveland that they should have replaced twenty years ago. These pipes are 8 feet in diameter. The city has sectioned off the area, a signal that they expect to take some time over this.
Time to hunker down and learn some real antenna theory. We can build them faster than we can calibrate which leads us to a dead end. This destroys the profit motive, which is never a good idea. So I’ll spend quiet days at home until we move from millimeters to micrometers and get this project going.Good, because it is never really quiet in the library. Plus, they are slowly finding and sealing all the holes in their firewalls. I told you about this before, how I could not visit the site for “Death Valley” because some mommy’s boy out there can’t deal with bad scary words. Damn single parent families and their wimp issue. Thanks to those candy-asses I’m having trouble logging on to Hacktronics.
The new antenna system will plow all these difficulties under. Speaking of under, Zillow reports 37% of houses are now being sold at a loss as opposed to merely being underwater. This stands to get considerably worse, as rents have stayed low. The rent to sales price ratio is critical, and in Florida it is something like 30:1, that is, you’d have to rent your house for 30 years to make your money back. Florida is high maintenance, there is a lot of wind and humidity here every year.
Myself, I have my electricity consumption down to fewer than 615 watts per hour (when I’m home and operating everything). The only electric devices I have are those that don’t come in any other form, like the air conditioner, or are too expensive to replace with non-electric models, like the lights and fridge.
I surfed the web for a while to keep up with what is out there. Some gorf is complaining that Facebook ruined his 20 year marriage. Buddy, if that’s true, trust me, it was over long ago. Some Seattle police stomped the wrong Mexican, which seems to send the message if you are Mexican, stay away from the parts of town where there is a lot of petty crime. The areas populated by Mexicans, see? Plus, learn early the Seattle police are not immigrant-friendly. If you want that, move to Hialeah.
The Patriot Act is clamping down on payday loan outfits. That is an example of insipid politics. Every loan is recorded with picture ID on the government files. How can they catch one terrorist unless they can spy on millions of the innocent? Again, it is not the spying, but what they will eventually do once the data is collected an analyzed for their own agenda. Think of the wasted resources because nobody in DC has the balls to target only those who behave like terrorists. Using a percent of the wasted money they could tail the bad ones 25 hours a day, but no. It’s more fun to monitor everybody and build that database.
Bingo was unsuccessful. I wish I’d stayed home with a good book. See things have changed? Don’t conclude it is bad not to work, that would be like saying one should work even when losing money. Take into account that bingo is not by any definition my hobby or my profession. You would quit long before me. And I would feel differently if it was not taking up a Saturday night.
I stopped by Dave-O’s today and he is waiting on his check. That guy has the worst luck with the postal system. I rarely give letter delivery a second thought, but he is always waiting on something overdue. We’ve planned to check out the country bar in Davie soon. Maybe next week.
Never talk philosophy with Dave-O. He is unclear on what is meant by fallacy of composition. For instance, the fact that he personally knows somebody who would benefit by owning a concealed weapon does not necessarily translate that anyone should be allowed to carry a gun anywhere they please, but he will argue the point. His inability to separate the big picture from the small picture is almost Canadian in its nature. Nor can he understand how an otherwise intelligent person like me does not know anything about politics. Funny, that.Here is a promo from a group called "The Smoking Aces", which I thought was a movie about gambling addiction. Anyway, they want a bass player something fierce and for some reason a couple of these people look familiar. I did not audition. There is a reason these guitar-dominant hair bands can't keep a bass player.
