    Baby On Board!?

    I'm getting another hazmat cert this morning. Actually, I may get several. I'm in Nashville near Rivergate Mall, and they have them on sale at the knot store there.

    Baby On Board!?

    I've picked up on a few little nuances here and there which indicate a few specifics. There's also some behind the scenes things that don't quite add up. Actually a couple of them are impossible. We shall see.

    Jimmy Carter Redux - Obama Leads from Behind, Middle East Implodes

    Yeah, except that Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Minnesota and Maine have yet to award any delegates to anyone. The numbers in the table above for those states are purely estimates, "projected delegates", not actual awarded delegates. Missouri, or example, won't actually award any delegates to anyone...

    Baby On Board!?

    OK, the notion of bringing an infant out here on the road in expediting is just stupid, stupid, stupid. It's a stupid thought, and anyone who would even seriously consider it, much less actually do it, is stupid. Just flat out, stone-cold, butt-stoopid, stupid. It's so stupid that I'm not yet...

    Watch some of the video responses. Most are from recent teenagers who are now out in the real world. They are on dad's side.

    Doomsday Preppers

    They're bat crap crazy. Living off the grid and being a survivalist aren't necessarily the same thing. I know a few people who live off the grid. I have an aunt in Tucson who is one of them. She and they are not bat crap crazy. Having a small farm and living off the land is not bat crap crazy...

    Jimmy Carter Redux - Obama Leads from Behind, Middle East Implodes

    That's an awful lot of text (spin) for such a simple thing. I admire the impassioned frothy, though. :D The pie charts and accompanying text indicate Ron Paul won a bunch of "delegates". People (most of them, yes, most, including the ever popular...most) think of "delegates" in terms of the...

    Being a computer geek, I'll have to think about that one.

    Jimmy Carter Redux - Obama Leads from Behind, Middle East Implodes

    Well, to be fair, it is a little misleading to say that in a given precinct that Paul got ALL of the delegates, when the delegates haven't even been selected yet. Those pretty pie charts, without the proper context, is very misleading to most people. The Street piece, rather than being spin...

    GPS can't find it's *&&

    Well, there is an increased amount of solar activity that's been going on for the last couple or three weeks, so I'm inclined to blame that more than anything.

    I'm in Springfield. Figure I'll sit tight for a while, see how it looks tonight or tomorrow. Only 100 miles from the house, tho.

    GPS can't find it's *&&

    Could be the quality of the GPS receiver. They do go bad and sometimes get quirky before they fail. Could have also been nothing more than timing, rather than location. I've had mine go bonkers (due to solar activity) in rural areas, where normally it's fine, and then the next time through there...

    I picked up in Detroit at midnight. Roads all the way down to below Lima were brutal. Took 3.5 hours to go the first 100 miles. After that it got better, but they really weren't clear until south of Dayton. I didn't see that first salt/plow truck until I got to the Ohio state line, and that one...

    Facebook can be bad. Can lead to all kinds of things. It is a sad comment on our post 20th century age that a bullcrap like Facebook should become one of the United State's proudest achievements. Facebook is a horror, really. All it does is encourage the worst of kindergarten and high school...

    OK, it was hard to tell exactly what you meant by Chicago, and Chicago Metro area. Right downtown it can lose the satellites easily. But it can also lose them outside the city, a well. One thing you have to remember is that GPS signal are nothing more than radio signals, and lots of things can...

    I'm at the snow-covered yard. But I've got a load picking up in a couple of hours going to Springfield, TN. 520 miles with a scheduled 8 hours to get it there. Yay.
