Yesterday was supposed to be my last day
I'm working today because I'm the only one who knows about the power Auger.
Yeahhhh!
I worked 9 hours today, Gawd- I'm glad that drive will be over with soon!
At least it's OT.
I also told the boss that until they got another operator, I'd be available on Saturdays, IF we can agree on price (and gas and travel time).
The other operator gave his notice, too.
Anyone with a class A license want a job?

An urgent alert for Animal lovers and PETA people
Quick, go here to save Jill from Dr Phatt Tony.
Get all your anaphilic friends to donate to a good cause!
That's right Dr. Phatt Tony is holding "Jill" hostage for $1600!
Go over to his site and be sure to let him know I sent you on a mission of "humanity"- or drop a recipe in his comment section. I'm sure he'd appreciate either one.
Personally, I agree with one of his commenter- March 15, 2007 is WAYYyyyyy to long to hold Jill hostage. She'd taste way better about July 3rd 2006- in my opinion.
Go, tell Dr Phatt Tony what you think of him and the entire "Jill" thang.
(UPDATE MAR. 3, 5:30PM) I need to let everyone know that the ransom is $16,000 not $1600, a typo n the laptop. Thanks to commenter Rachel.

What's your world view?
You scored as Idealist. Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

Having second thoughts on the job thang
One of those "the Devil you know", , ,things and all.
The current job doesn't pay that badly.
Actually they pay pretty well for what I do compared to other companies. Part of the pay is to put up with a mercurical boss, or his brother (the one who signs the checks). I won't have payed vacation or holidays for another year and a half.
The real problem is the 110 mile daily commute- 2+ hours driving and $70 in gas a week (in the B3000) I work 7Am to 3:30PM.
The new job is/will be alot more physically demanding, and I'm starting to feel my age.
It's 15 min. away with bad traffic, 8AM to 5PM (that's the heat of a south Texas day) and $2 less an hour. I do get 1 week vacation and 5 paid holidays. I can have all the OT I want, but 5PM is late already.
I'll see what the current boss is willing to offer, maybe worth my while to stay there.

Can someone tell me, please
Is there, or is there not, the start of an Iraqi religious civil war?
I keep hearing from theLiberals Legacy Media that there is almost a full-blown war over there. I go to blogs and "centrist" news outlets and it's not as bad as being made out in the deathloving non-partisan media.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least that there would be a religious war over there- look at the manufatured outrage and rioting going on over a group of FRIGGING CARTOONS. People are dying because the religious "leaders" decided that this was a good enough excuse for a religious holy war.Europe Everybody needs to get their chit together and step on this now while they can still cut the fuse on the bomb.
We haven't have any(?), much moslem riots about this BS, but that doesn't mean they still aren't plotting to take over America with their willing allies- the Liberal PC apologists for "diversity" in the upper ranks of "Progressive" organizations.
Maybe they'll get their heads out of their collective @sses in mid-January 2009 when Bu$Haliburton=Hitler is out of office and they don't see everything through a filter of impeachment and raw hate.

I thought I had a democrat I could vote for
If I lived in San Antonio- and was going to vote in this primary.
I'm not voting so I can sign on for Kinky.
I've been hearing Frank Madla's radio ads dumping on Carlos Uresti about how un"Democratic" he's acting in Austin. How he basically sold his constituents downstream. "Cool," I said to myself, "a Dem that doesn't toe the DNC line- He votes for what he thinks is right"
I started looking for their sites and came across Just another blog that has alot of information on local Texas politics. I'll probably link to them (it's a group blog) even though they tilt to the left. They don't seem completely unhinged even though they DO link to Koz and the DU. I'll do it when I get on the big computer, his one doesn't keep my Blogroll sign-in active for some reason.

Ok, here we go again.
I start my new job Monday. I told the boss I was giving my weeks notice- unless he needed two.
He asked how much I was offered and was kinda surprized when I said I was loosing a dollar an hour, but I'd make that up in not paying $70 a week in gas.
I can make the money up in 2 hours OT, if I want to. I probably will- I'm greedy, and the job is only about 15 min away from home. Since I'm used to being gone from 5:45Am to 4:40PM for 8 hours work, I should be able to do 9 hours easily enough.
Now I just gotta remember everything I forgot about laying water systems.

I'm happy because I'm a pessimist?
According to a Pew Research center survey I am.
I'm happy because I'm a conservative (in belief, not a Bush sycophant), or is it that I'm a pessimist and I'm happy when things don't go south? It's also not the (entire) result of the last two elections, either:
Election results do not explain this happiness gap. Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the survey began in 1972. Married people and religious people are especially disposed to happiness, and both cohorts vote more conservatively than does the nation as a whole.
-snip-
Begin with a paradox: Conservatives are happier than liberals because they are more pessimistic. Conservatives think the Book of Job got it right ("Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward"), as did Adam Smith ("There is a great deal of ruin in a nation"). Conservatives understand that society in its complexity resembles a giant Calder mobile -- touch it here and things jiggle there, and there, and way over there. Hence conservatives acknowledge the Law of Unintended Consequences, which is: The unintended consequences of bold government undertakings are apt to be larger than, and contrary to, the intended ones.
Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong, they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.
Ok, I understand that, I consider myself an optimistic pessimist; If it goes the way it's supposed to- great! If not, then I've thought about it, and here's my idea to unf*ck it.
Liberals, on the other hand think that there is a RIGHT to "happiness" and Bu$Hitler=Halburton is standing in the way.

Well it figures, it IS MinneSOta after all
Not that that's bad- or anything , , ,
There was a gas station fined for selling gas too cheaply for the state regs.
The Minnesota Commerce Department on Thursday announced plans to fine a gas station chain $140,000 for repeatedly selling gas below the state's legal minimum price.
The fine against Midwest Oil of Minnesota is twice as large as any imposed on a company since 2001, when the state established a formula based on wholesale prices, fees and taxes to determine a daily floor for gas prices.
Not that those Vikings are in the same league as Cali, or Hawaii for government interference on private businesses, but they DO have a liberal bent.
It's not that the snowbelt is inherently Liberal, it's just that they trust the government wayyyy too much for their own good. I hope they get to see this article up in the frozen north.
That's omething I thought I'd never see- a LIBERAL government setting a minimum price to hurt the "people".

I left a comment over in this blog
It was my usual B.S. comment. I didn't realize that he was a lib, or wouldn't have bothered- save my crappy typing for here, ya know.
It was a post about voter fraud (the Rethuglican type), and it reminded me of what I've believed for quite a while.
If you want to ACTUALLY get better, more accurate results from the ballot, then make it HARDER to vote.
That would give people some incentive to actually THINK about who they're going to vote for. It would weed out those who are too stupid to follow a ballot from name along the same line to the ..........CHAD.
Instead of making people actually make some kind of commitment in the democratic process by putting out a little effort and hopefully getting them involved in the process- making it easier to vote seems to bring out the idiots.
Instead of an informed and committed electorate, we have "Motor-voter" and No-ID voters who have no clue about who's even on the ballot. Except for the name they were told to vote for "Because they're . . ." or "They told me . . ." or "They'll do . . . for me."
You want better results, lets start screening voters. I don't mean a Jim Crow literacy test or a poll tax. I mean a quick pre-vote questionnaire with about 3 questions on the ballot.
They could be as easy as "Which (major position) candidates are running?" "Who is the Senate majority (minority) leader?" "Name two Supreme Court justices (your Senators) (your City councilman)". If you can't answer these questions you don't know enough about the United States to deserve a counting vote.
In English. The LAW states that to be a citizen, you should know the basics of english. (If you want to become a productive, positive contribution to American society - be an AMERICAN VOTER.) If you answered the questions right, your ballot counts- if not, it goes into the "tie-breaker" stack.
I know a certain political party would have a screaming tizzy fit about "disenfranchising" their chosen voters. Thedrunken derelicts bums homeless, the shiftless drug addicts helpless on public assistance, the plantation residents barrio vatos illegal aliens minorities, and the rest of their "base".
But hey, if you're actually serious about voter fraud, machines aren't going to stop it- no matter WHO makes the things, committed citizens are the key. If you want to cut out alot of questionable votes, and get a better handle on it- identify the voters, and make sure they're eligible to vote.
Make voting mean more than just buying a lottery ticket.

A VERY long day
I don't even want to think right now, so something from the mailbox.
Now I understand why radical Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit
suicide.
Just look at their lifestyle:
* No premarital sex.
* No oral sex. Giving or receiving. Never.
* No booze. None. Never.
* No TV. No cable TV. No satellite TV.
* No Spice channel. No Playboy channel. No ESPN. No SPEEDVISION.
* No Hooters.
* No Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
* No organized one ball sports of any kind. That's right-NO ONE BALL
sports.
* Women have to be completely covered and wear veils. No thongs. NO
G-STRINGS.
* No Victoria's Secret.
* Very, very, very few cars. Camels. Lots of camels. Stinking, filthy
camels.
* Sand. F---ING sand everywhere!
* More sand.
* Ever try to fish at an oasis? No bass boats. No bass. No fish.
* Sandstorms. More F---ING sand everywhere!
* Rags for clothes and hats.
* Camel and goat burgers cooked over burning camel dung chips.
* Eating with your right hand only-because you wipe your A-- with your
left
hand.
* Constant wailing from the a--hole next door ... no wait, that's
music!
* And when you die it's supposed to all get better......

I'll say it, as a Christian.
THIS IS WRONG!
Although I completely understand their feelings, and kinda feel that in a way- it's what they desrve.
But christians are taught to turn the other cheek, and to forgive 70 times 7.
Maybe it has been that many anti-Christian outrages already?
Who's counting (here on earth)?
At least 20 people are believed to have died in two days of violence in the southern Nigerian city of Onitsha
Christian mobs rampaged through the city attacking Muslims in retaliation for anti-Christian riots in the north.
Nigerian police said hundreds of Christian Ibos attacked houses belonging to Muslim Hausas when news of the northern clashes reached Onitsha.
I'm sorry, I should feel sorry for those people, but I can't.
Those islamists would probably want to behead me for even thinking about praying to MY god for them. OK, let Allah the merciful (Piss Be Upon Him) take care of them.

Ok George, put your veto pen where your mouth is.
Not that it's probably much of a threat- since it hasn't had any exercise in 5 YEARS!
Bush said he'd veto any legislation designed to stop the transfer of US ports to the United Arab Emerates.
I haven't written about it, since I'm not sure what's all involved.
I do know that the UAE was "helpful" to both us- the US and Al Queda, at the same time.
But if Jimmy Carter is for it. . .
Ummmm. . .
Wait a minute, , , something's wrong with this link, it doesn't say what Mike quoted it as.
Everything I search for with 'Jimmy Carter Dubai Ports' that has a link to what Dhimmy said is now, , , changed. Newsmax, Newsday, , , is there a reason?
The same reason I'd say is a lead pipe cinch that this is bad for America because HE is for it.
In the articles they tell us how the Al Queda (parial) sympathizers have to jump through all the govt' hoops.
Great- are they going to use "due-diligence" in stopping anything suspicious, or the old *shrug* "I see naaahhhting" if it requires just a little over the minimum effort in stopping anything- - - BAD because they're following the letter of the "requirements".
We all know that these ports are on the shore- goes without saying, really. Did it occur to you that they are also part of the BORDER?
The same border that Bush has ignored for the entire time he's been in office. The only thing that'll be coming in is illegals. Illegal terrorists. Illegal drugs. Illegal bomb materials. Illegal plans for terrorists. Illegal slaves for the caliphate.
If all these anti-American mouthpeices are for it-- something is bad for America.
(UPDATE FEB 22) I finally found a Dhimi Carter quote about how he supports the Dubai deal.
NOW do you believe it's a bad thing?
I still wonder why all those posts I looked at yesterday werepurged "updated" to dis-include any mention of the "Mensa of the Mid-east"
Thanks Rachel.

This brainstorm is brought to you by the people who were surprised at hammas's win
The same people who said: "Daym, Hammas won the Palestinian election??!!??"
Are probably the only ones just realizing that the "Cartoon Riots" aren't somekind of spontaneous movement. They may actually be spurred on by some kind of Anti-Western Ideas.
These B.S. riots have been going on for what 5-6 weeks now? The L.A. riots died out after a week. How long did the Watts riots last? Any others you can think of?
Then they didn't havea completely an almost completely ingnorant and semi-literate world-wide mob to draw from. The L.A. thing was confined to,,,L.A. and all those genius level H.S. graduates.
Why would ANYONE not think that these riots were- at the least- sending a message about how the sheeple (sorry Rob) can be used as a weapon against anyone who has the least (they're cartoons fer Chris'sake) ummmm.....lack of awe for a third rate, selfish, immature movement that is deemed a religion. They must be too busy tracking down Elmer Cheney's hunting thang.
The same people who said: "Daym, Hammas won the Palestinian election??!!??"
Are probably the only ones just realizing that the "Cartoon Riots" aren't somekind of spontaneous movement. They may actually be spurred on by some kind of Anti-Western Ideas.

Time for a users report on our satellite systems
We got Wildblue satellite broadband about 4 months ago. After some initial tweeking, we got both ME and Firefox to work pretty much like they're supposed to. Wildblue does seem to like ME better connection wise than Firefox. We haven't had any major problems with the system, and the speed is pretty good- even according to the wife (who's used to RoadRunner at work). We got the lowest priced package @$49.95 (plus tax) and about 500K download speed and 125K upload.
We haven't had the frog-strangling downpour test yet, but our reliability is fine.
The bad part,Vonage doesn't work for chit on it. Something about the latency. The only reason we're paying the lowest rate of $14.99 is for those international calls home. We can call out and it's usually fine, just can't call in 8 out of 10 trys. With Wildblue and Vonage, we're paying about the same price as we did for just SBC(now AT&T), with about the same phone quality.
The Sprint cell phones work alot better, still have alot of iffy areas in the house. We found if we stand next to the window, we have cell contact- works for us.
The only problems we've had with DirectTV is the intermittent power outages. If we loose power for too long, or get a too-close lightning hit, we have to reset the boxes. Kinda a PITA, but better than Charter cable. We only lost the signal once because of the FSD-with lightning.
The new ceiling fan controller (wireless) switch is a beauty- hey! I got that for Karen for Christmas (and Karen appreciates it very much -Karen). The hardware is wired and hidden in the base of the fan and controlled by a battery powered remote. It even has a dimmer switch. Not bad for less than $50.
That's our wireless round-up of the year.

Ok, I'm looking at jobs in the paper
because I'm getting tired of the 120 mi daily commute, pluse I put a hole in the skin of the bosses brand new warehouse (it was a piece of rebar, not the bobcat).
when I came on this ad:
LANDSCAPE Installation, gay-owned hill country business. 512-738-2934
Ok, it's an Austin area code, but WHY did he have to mention his sexualpreference orientation in the paper? Giving the "heads-up"(so to speak) to any potential employees, or just trolling for REAL brown-nosers?
