Top. Men. (link fixed)

Security in Ohare and other Chicago airports is airtight.

For a given level of airtight, that is:

She did it AGAIN: Woman gets past TSA without a ticket and boards flight from Ohare to London. Is returned when she can’t get past Customs and Immigration ’cause she has no passport.

Layers and layers of Security. Top. Men are working to keep us safe. (did you know that having a High School diploma isn’t a requirement to be a TSA agent?)

I feel much safer now. At least our airlines are secure…

For some odd reason, Google seems to be breaking the links to articles lately.
Perhaps I should post direct copy/paste links at the bottom of my postings?

Gunshow!

Will be at the Crown Point gunshow today.

Selling raffle tickets.

(And I will, of course, offer a reward for lost BMW keys) .

Get your tickets from me! I sold 2 of the 3 winners the last two years. 

And they breed

Went to the bank Wed.

Withdrew $200….

Asked for small bills.

The teller said “They are all the same size”.  And she held up a $1 and a $100. Sure enough, they were the same size.

I asked for twenties. Easier that way.

Amazin’, innit?

So….when you let folks (or corporations) keep their profits (or at least more of them) then they choose to invest in the United States, instead of keeping those profits out of the reach of the greedy bureaucrats at the US Treasury, and the Federal Government in general..

Apple to repatriate $252.3 billion (yes, with a “B”) and pay a one time tax payment of $38 billion (again, with a “B”)…and will create approximately 20,000 jobs here in the US…and will spend about $30 billion (there’s that “B” again) in the US. 

Lots of money and lots of jobs, and lots of investment…..which equates to lots of construction jobs and other jobs when they spend that $30 Billion dollars over the next five years…..

And all ’cause now the US isn’t taking too much of their money. Strange, that….

Pretty much the way I see it too:

They are testing their systems for when it gets real. I think he is right. Once is happenstance twice is coincidence(maybe). If there is a third time…..

If you don’t have some preparations in place, think hard about getting some. A few weeks of food and some water will go a long way towards giving you more options than most folks. Even a few flats of cans of beans and a few pounds of rice will go very far, and they buy you the most important thing in a crisis: The time to consider your situation and plan for what is next. Most people will not have that luxury because they are stupid. Don’t be them.

And, if you are smart, a plan for, and the tools to, defend your stash from those folks who are unable or unwilling to plan ahead.
