This bug goes on. Sputter and wheeze was this week's treat. Got X-rays shot through my chest. Never speak of X-ray. X-rays. They are many. I am now off speaking. Hard to do with five kids in the house. Lots of arm motions required. But an 8 month old is not strong on responding to arm motions. Oddly neither is the 13 year old. I had a 50 year old maple killed this week. Suspicious crack on the side facing the house. I now have an excellent set of skittle logs. A friend has a cord of hardwood to age. Ordered "Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn" from Amazon. The front lawn shall be filled with Blue Hubbard come September 2012.
♦ Not sure how Lieutenant David Jones qualifies the the hero, but what a strange sad story from our Loyalist past.
♦ Would this not have been one of the easiest ways to undermine the tyrant? By turning off his government's websites? Way to be on the ball, Feds.
♦ How can blue beer not be wrong?
♦ Sad, pathetic, weird story. I had no idea either the Angles or the Saxons did that with an oboe.
♦ How do you issue mass warnings in an age of peer to peer fragmented media?
♦ Even if Dad wasn't from Greenock, I would find the fact that Jame's Watt's study has been perfectly preserved for 0ver 190 years amazing.
You know how people perpetuate that myth about blogs being written by men in pajamas in their basements?

Those kids in the header, are they swimming in beer?

That is the problem. Everyone gets confused. Next thing you know? Trickle down economics.

Emergency test systems take over all channels.
If you're not watching television, you're glued to the internet anyway, where you do find information quickly no matter where you are.

Sounds like another GREAT GOVERNMENT SERVICE!

I do think civil defence is a proper role for a federal government.
Alan, you seem to think that I don't support ANY government. I support some -- I support a strong government in its proper, limited sphere.

I mock because I care... and because you still leave comments.
I think any extrapolations from 1783 are reasonable. The government gave people free land, free food, free tools of all sorts and set up a system of well placed well run taverns owned by the Crown.
