It was weird. I saw some groups with delays of days and some with none at all. So it wasn’t uniform. That’s what threw a curve at me. The unevenness for the failure. Interesting from a thinking perspective because I ASSUMED that the delay would be linear. Why I did that beats me? Guess I didn’t stop and think about it. Just breezed along in my assumption mobile. Fat, dumb, and happy. ;-)

Riffaud died overnight Tuesday, said Marie-Georges Vingadassalon, a spokeswoman for the office. Of the three surviving World War I veterans, the oldest — Louis de Cazenave — is 109, according to the veterans’ office.

INTERESTING: Bad news about a friend
Friday, January 12, 2007A friend may have had a TIA. Her husband called me on the way home from the hospital. It wasn’t until we were deep into conversation that I realized he was talking and driving. I rudely rushed him off the phone so he could get home safe with a promise to call in a few minutes. I hope he understood that I didn’t want more trouble. Cell phones and cars don’t mix. I think that OnStar is some how different. At a lotta cents per minute, your conversation will be short. No free minutes there. And, it’s truly handsfree with a good quality. No “can you hear me now” with it. Good thing, at those prices. Any way, I’m anxiously whiling away the minutes until he send me an email and I can call. What else can one do. SO far away. Any way, when he reads this, I hope he knows it was his best interest in my heart. Hope it came across that way. Injineers are not known for delivering good messages. Tapping the keyboard aot twiddling my thumbs. Say my grandmother’s prayer “In your hands Lord, here’s my trouble”. Let’s hope that it’s just the “Littlest” of a little TIA. I don’t make new friends easily. So I can’t to afford to lose any. Yeah, yeah, I know you’re amazed I have any with my wise-backside tongue. Nah, nah, some people like a “spicy fellow” like me. Gottago there’s his email.

INTERESTING: CBSNY TV did nothing for new years?
Monday, January 1, 2007Did someone forget that Sunday night was New Years? Maybe Katie was too busy with the Ford funeral to do “it”? In these days of look a like media (i.e., the media mimics each other), it was a glaring flaw. It’s pretty sad when the Game Show Network has more New Year’s hoopla than a major NYC TV station. Even more pathetic is that I noticed. Doesn’t Dick Clark look terrible? It’s noble that he tries to carry on the tradition, but it’s very flawed. It makes me think of my eventual end. Doesn’t make for good escapist “everyone’s happy in times square” tv.
Happy new year to anyone who reads this.

Monday, December 25, 2006Boy, 15, Charged With Driving Stolen Bus

FERN PARK, FLA. — A 15-year-old boy has been sentenced to four years in a juvenile treatment program after deputies stopped him driving a stolen bus along a public transit route, picking up passengers and collecting fares.

Let’s get this right. He drove the bus safely. Safer than some cops, politicians, and driving instructors. But society will jail. And, the reason is? Wouldn’t a better “punishment” be to give him a job?

THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE

The Christmas Truce – 1914
On Christmas Day, 1914, in the first year of World
War I, German, British, and French soldiers
disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with “the
enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front. German
troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches
with signs, “Merry Christmas.” “You no shoot, we no
shoot.”
*** end quote ***
Which is most interesting. Do you suppose we can have peace among men of good will by just doing it?
I also liked this snip:
<begin snip>
My name is Francis Tolliver, in Liverpool I dwell
Each Christmas come since World War I, I’ve learned its lessons well
That the ones who call the shots won’t be among the dead and lame
And on each end of the rifle we’re the same
<end snip>
Ain’t that the truth? The politicians that decide our fates live high on the hog for selling us down the river.
Where are the George Washingtons, the Jeffersons, and the dollar a year men?
