“it’s quiet….too quiet”

Today was one of those rare ones.

Everything (for me) went right…..

I fixed a piece of equipment: The part, which arrived today, was the right one, first time. The engineer who designed the machine actually had a clue as to what it takes to service equipment, and designed the part and how it fitted with others well. No cut fingers, no cursing, (except for “damn, that was easy”).

People have been (today at least) unfailingly polite. Held doors for me, did not cause me grief while driving (no cutt offs, no sudden stops, weaving, etc.). No one tried to kill me while we were  driving on the same roads.

I got compliments which I really did not deserve on the conduct of my employees…(they are good, but not great enough to deserve the effusive praise heaped upn them by two separate customers…I guess that we just excell compared to others?).

All in all, today was much better than the previous ones. Strange, but weird.

I am waiting for the axe to fall.

DUH

Apparently, even the children in the Obama Administration are learning about reality, and economics.

Read.  Follow the links.

Interesting. If this will fail, then the premise for ObamaCare cannot be far behind, can it?

It is sad that he lost his job

But, the way I see it, “Don’t want none? Don’t bring none”.

Watch the video. He retreats. They follow. He defends. Excessive force? Perhaps. But they attacked him and pursued EVEN WHEN HE RETREATS. His actions are, IMO, defensive. Self defense. He is guilty of no charges in this incident.

Bet they (the women who slapped, then pursued him) think twice now before jumping the counter ever again. As do all the folks in the restaurant. A lesson hard learned. But those are the ones that stick the best.

Why does this sort of shit always happen in the “hood?

It occurred to me today

When driving past our own “occupy ____________” demonstration, and reading the signage that was displayed by the not so terribly bright looking attendees, that I could have likely reduced the average unemployment and increased the average IQ of the town by several points if I had only had a noose made of monomolecular wire and a means to tighten it…

I’m just sayin’

These people are their own worst enema enemy.

Just in case

you still have doubts as to the veracity of the glowball warmening movement’s scientists liars propaganda ministers spokespeople, you should go over to Real Science and see what the truth is.

Unless you are one of those folks who really wants to believe in glowball warmening. As a religion, rather than a science….

You know, like those Pastafarians….It’s not for me to judge. One religion is as good as another, logically….and when you have no science, but only faith to back your belief, then you can’t denigrate those who believe otherwise.

It is said

that were Satan to take over heaven, he’d have no choice but to take on God’s characteristics.

Conversely, if God were to ever take over Hell, he’d make a damned good Devil himself.

So it is with the folks who govern our nation today.
A generation ago, THEY were the protesters, Staging Sit-Ins and occupying buildings and protesting the Way Things Are….and agitating for Change.

They too had all the answers.

These are the same people today who work in our government, at least some of them….who make the rules which shape our nation and our society and our existence…..those same things that this current generation of protesters are protesting against. What made them not effect the “changes” which they wanted 15 or 20 or 25 or even 30 years ago?? Experience? Knowledge? Laziness? Why did those college educated, highly intelligent leaders choose not to do what they wanted to happen 20 or 30 years ago when they were protesting in the manner of their children today? The issues of the protests 30 years ago are still in existence today, mostly.

I wonder what the current crop of “Occupiers” will do (and think) 30 years from now, when their actions and the society which they have made will be the subject of protests and complaints and “occupation”?
