California Legislauture, "Think, then act!"

California Legislature is considering banning incandescent light bulbs.

I am all for conservation of energy, reusable resources, renewable resources, thinking before we act. I use both types of bulbs, depending on the location.

Living in Florida, there were days just the heat from one incandescent bulb made it uncomfortable to sit close to the lamp. But [...]

Wordless Wednesday – His play, my play

Westport, WA,

EDIT: Ok, I was rotten to let y’all think he would actually smash my plane. He didn’t, he just likes to tease, besides then he couldn’t fly it, too.

Good morning, World

Fog and Frost. Days like this I know why I have retired from going to work every day. I think there should be a permanent understanding that no one has to drive to work in the fog! I know I would have backing in this campaign, but I also know my campaign [...]

Management jobs should come with warning labels

Suggestion for the most prominent label:

Sucker! This job is paid by salary, not hourly. Pay rate is not based on 40 hours, not even 45 hours per week. Dream on. Plan on 55-60 minimum. Yes, some management jobs are protected by a law that states in some fashion that you must [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Jamming Mr. Lumpy, Jr.

Driving too fast

Pet peeve, dangerous thing, frustrates me, could hurt anyone.

I am not referring to the people out there this week in the snow and ice that were driving slowly and carefully, but still spun their tires or slid to the side.

I am not referring to the people who normally drive carefully and just had a momentary [...]
