absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the
world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What in the hell
happened? Can you spell 'politicians? Can you spell NAFTA? and other
so called free trade agreements ? I hope this goes around THE USA at
least 100 times!!! YOU can help it
get there!!!

UN Relief Agency allows thousands to die needlessly, Again.

Japan faces even more needless death. Why are we not helping?
We have successfully used the TRIAD  System the Dr. Bill helped developed in Afghanistan. But we're not using it in Japan. Nor did we use it in Haiti. Why?

WHY? NOT?

Natural Gas for Cars: An all win, no lose, initiative that will please the country and stop the blackmail from foreign oil suppliers

To: President Barack Obama

Subject: Easy way for you to drop gas prices to $2 a gallon for American workers. Otherwise, they will soon be paying for $5 gas --- and blaming your administration.

Mr. President:

Here is an all-win, no-lose, plan that will please the country and stop the blackmail from foreign oil suppliers. The outrage of $5 gas is coming soon - probably next year. It will wipe out the recovery and your administration in the next election. It must be stopped. Challenge the foreign oil suppliers with America’s most abundant and cleanest transportation fuel, NATURAL GAS. We can still use all the ethanol our farmers can make in dual-fuel cars. Conversion to natural gas cars sounds like a long and expensive transition. Not at all! You don’t need to force anyone. All you need to do is start the ball rolling. And there is a clever way to do that without any government subsidy, believe it or not! Nationally known and syndicated financial expert Bob Brinker came up with the deceptively simple, genius idea described below.

Mr. President, please sign a simple executive order tomorrow that says that all federal vehicles purchased after, say, January 1, 2012, must run on NATURAL GAS as well as other fuels such as gasoline, diesel, or ethanol. Such dual-fuel vehicles are already being used by smart companies all over the country. No new design or technology is needed. (Federal agencies can op out for a while if they have no easy natural gas supply.)

Why does this work? The federal government is the biggest purchaser of new vehicles. The automakers already supply tens of thousands of cars that run on natural gas or gasoline (or ethanol) for utility companies and taxis companies all over the country who gladly pay a higher price for these dual-fuel vehicles because their fuel costs are reduced. With the enormous federal government market for natural gas vehicles, car manufacturers will quickly make natural gas cars and light trucks available to everyone at no big price increase over conventional gasoline cars. Natural gas is available in almost all urban areas where most of the commuting is done. It is easy to fuel natural gas cars at home. But this initiative does not force any private citizen to buy natural gas/dual-fuel cars.

1. Natural gas is the only significant "alternative transportation fuel" that will be available over the ten to twenty years. And it is available everywhere, right now!
2. Dual-fuel natural gas+gasoline(or ethanol) cars will suddenly be available to the general public at no increased cost. Car makers now deliver them for utilities and Taxis.
3. The middle east oil countries know how much natural gas we have. They are terrified that we start using it and less of their oil. They will bring the price of gas down to $2 a gallon and keep it there to discourage our conversion.

This is a all-win, no-lose initiative for you. All you have to do is sign a piece of paper. Any agency that does not want to buy natural gas, dual-fuel vehicles can op out. But your executive order alone will cause foreign oil suppliers to think twice about blackmailing the U.S. for oil. It tells them where we are going -- and that we will not need their oil in ten years or so.

The biggest worry for the foreign oil suppliers is that we will start using our enormous natural gas supplies, now estimated to supply the U.S. more than 100 years. The price of gasoline will drop to $2.00 per gallon or less – even before we convert large numbers of our vehicles to natural gas. American workers – and the economy -- will applaud you.SIMPLY ANNOUNCING A REAL U.S. GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE TO USE NATURAL GAS FOR TRANSPORTATION FUEL WILL BRING THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL DOWN BELOW $50 A BARREL

Yes. Flowers! And Shock the hell out of your man!

Yea, I know it's a lousy picture... 

I can never get the cat to pose for me.  I move the camera to try to keep up with the cat, and it make the shot blurry.  Maybe that's why the call my phone a BlackBlurry? 

You know, sometimes it is nice to surprise your significant other with some flowers. And ya know, I'd be surprised if I were to receive some.  (hint?)

And What is it with flowers? Why can't men be given flowers?  And I mean Manly hairy chested, and balding, knuckled draggin' heterosexual men.   What don't you gals do that for us??  

Yea, we live in a world of mixed messages, and I wouldn't want to mix up the messages and give flowers to my Landlord, although, he might be deserving of some.  He Does mow the lawn, and clear off the snow off the sidewalk... But, I just don't think that the appreciation would be there. 

And, why is it so surprising that men cook from time to time?  We can clean, and speaking for myself, I'm usually to busy to deal with the woolly boogers (dust bunnies)  under the refrigerator .... 

So, if it's snowing there, where you are... Get some flowers, and put them in your house to brighten things up. Spring might not be here, but we can still enjoy a fresh flower or two.  :) 

Anyway... I've got a oven to pre-heat and dinner to fix...   

Leather Cat Toy - Can you help me find another one?

Petco had this Leather Ring Cat toy, once upon time.  I picked one out from the discount bin, not know it was going to be my cat's favorite toy. - She likes to play fetch with us with this silly thing. She'll bring it back (no other toy) and drop it in front of one of us, so we can throw it. She'll chase it down with a happy cat noise (brrrp brrrp brrrp) and repeat.

Can you help me find another one, the current toy is getting some fair amount of use.

Thanks,
Randy

The Winchester Music Hall - Current Schedule

http://www.thewinchester.net/concertschedule.html

Hey there fellow Clevelanders, and Lakewoodites!  Here's the fresh concert schedule for the Winchester. 

Sign of the times.. or Spring. Pothole season.

I'm glad this dandy little P-Hole isn't near home, but I pass it to and from work...  It's on 65th street just south of Chester, in Cleveland, in case you were wondering..   

It's time for us to slow down, not from bad weather, but from what the bad weather has done to the roads, and keep our eyes out for the road crews fixing these nasty little surprises.

Drive Safe!

I hate to give away secretes..  But sometimes it's good to let loose of some of some of the tools you might like to use on the web.  Especially, when you've had a long week like I've had.


I'm feeling a little brain dead, with little energy to put into a really great blog post,  But I'm doing better sending myself notes on what one's I ought to do, and what blog they need to go on.

But Yes, Fliptext.org is a great place to turn your text upside down. There are a few other sites that do the same thing.  I might have more fun things to show off or do in the near future.
