Jack, I agree -- so far I've been able to ignore them.
They installed smart meters a few years ago -- no one reads the meters any more. Don't know how antiquated 'reading meters' is -- I keep thinking they'll do the same on the thermostats eventually.
I'd almost rather sit outside under a fan as to have 'them' control our lifestyle in so many ways.
Though, I will say, when we have the big ice or snow storms or the big thunderstorms that bring the tornado sirens, and the lines go down and we're out of electricity (heat or cooling), I am so-ooo glad to see their big trucks. Always want to go out and cheer the guys. :)

thanks for that. my point was the meeting is always described as "Russians" in some vaguely official capacity but one is a US citizen (not natural born) and one is a lawyer in private practice and a guest of SDNY.
Just like kislyak was invited to Cleveland just like he was also conspicuous at the state of the union party for the democrats, he brought the stroganiff.
My pa always brandished his size 12 slipper but can't remember if he ever had to pull the trigger. Pretty sure he did, I've just blotted it out.
Can't remember ever getting whacked by ma either but she did give me a swift kick in the butt one time that accidentally connected with my tail bone and hurt like the dickens.
She felt kinda bad and I of course milked it for all it was worth to nurture that parental guilt.
Moving forward a generation, I may have related this before but, I was at the mirror in my underwear shaving or something when Baby Iggy was about 4 or so. She slipped in behind me and without warning, bit me right on the butt. Surprised the heck out of me and smarted not a little with those sharp little incisors. I instinctively swung around around and whacked her right across the forearm.
She looked up at me holding her forearm, her huge brown eyes filling with tears and plaintively wailed "You hurt my cute little arm!" She cried even more when I started laughing.
Still funny twenty years later.
My mother once insisted our dad spank us. He whispered to us to cry as he thwacked the beds to make it sound like spankings. Of course, we complied with the act.
My dad used o thumb us on the top of our heads nu flicking his finger, which REALLY got your attention. My brother and I were talking about it the other day. He had really strong hands from work in his shop, so we really didn't want to get thumped.
My dad was an amateur heavyweight boxer. I'm told he spanked me one time, I flew off his lap into the wall. (I was 2 or 3then). Mom had corporal punishment duty after that.

daddy--that's it! you found it! yes, that's the iguanadon now viewable in Bromley--and the dear thing is that they (and particularly Hawkins the designer) thought all dinos were carnivorous, so the iguanadon has sharp pointy teeth. Vide the opening of Dickens's Bleak House (1853): "Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill." As I point out, the idea that this is a post-flood occurrence means that the megalosaurus (also understood to be a meat-eater) either was on the ark or dog-paddled his way to safety somehow.
CH, I love, love Cold Comfort Farm and also Gibbons in general. My favorite novel is her The Bachelor, which skewers pacifists in Britain in WWII and provides a happy ending for all in a suburban villa, Sunglades, "that forcing house of the passions," as she puts it.
Thanks for that heads up on The Bachelor, Catsmeat; I was afraid Gibbons might be a one trick pony but, even if she had been, it's a major accomplishment at my age to run across something so refreshingly offbeat and oddly endearing.
rich and glenda, there are so many balls in the air that it's 50/50 on Schiff's pencil neck snapping from that melon getting jerked around or those bugeyes popping out. It's so nice to have the clueless dorks on the other side being Mr Jones in Ballad of a Thin Man.
but mostly I want to figure out what it is that is bothering me so about this bs russia story and the on going coup ... something is missing, unsaid ... a carpet too big for the room or a room that couldn't exist in euclidean geometry-probably both.
Someone wanted to carpet the staircases in Relativity.
or maybe I need to listen to some more deftones and drink more beer.
Long day today, including tending to a neighbor's elderly visla, "Miso," who has a cone and various ailments--plus an orchestra gala, always tiring, plus student papers, always super-duper tiring, so on a Tull note, nytol.
rich, if he goes to LA I think it would be to the Clip Joint with The Logo running the show but my guess now is that he'll reup with the Cavs. If he doesn't, no hard feelings from me and surely most of the fans; he gave the city a championship and erased all the bad juju of the move to Miami. Either way the Cavs are well placed for the future so kudos to Dan Gilbert and GM Koby Altman.
The problem with Africa were the tribal chieftains who became the warlords and dictators, one of the bloodiest places on the planet, the Democratic (That's your first clue) republic of the Congo, is rich with Koltan, a key element in cell phones and other devices. So before the Europeans had drawn those borders those borders were still bloody weren't they.
I don't think Bozeman is big enough to carry a film I think that Jackie Robinson film was his big break, they revisit Berlin and Korea, the former seems to be rendition central, but there is no set piece battle like Leipzig airport in the same way.

indeed they were. I vaguely recall something similar to what jimnj mentioned. The colonial surveyors drew the boundaries perpendicular to the rivers so rival tribes ended up in blood feuds over territory (then resources, the foreign aide, &c &c).
That championship was great, rich; everybody was so happy. Even though I'm not from here I think I enjoyed it more than the Bullets win in Seattle, the Skins under Joe Gibbs and the Terps in 2002. I watched the Cavs game at my former neighbors place and I called up Mrs H as soon as it was over. The next morning I called another buddy about going to the parade and he just said "we're there".
I saw this guy not long after this was recorded in some toilet of a club, playing songs that sounded as fresh as anything else out there. One of the original Sun artists that just didn't make it big for whatever reason:
speaking of Ethiopia selassie was like t'challa, at least when he was young, didn't Richard Blaine run find in that day and time, but there came a time there was a new cat who came along, mengistu and his derhe, I don't know how big a fan club he had, but the west looked the other way.

Chadwick Boseman is a really good actor. I think it is not so much the movie but the political statement the SJW crowd would like to make ... Wakanda could as easily have been on Xandar or any of the other half dozen worlds in Guardians.
to have been really avant garde they could have made it a mostly asian cast-they did principal filming in South Korea ... suppose that misses the point, but here we are.

daddy--that's it! you found it! yes, that's the iguanadon now viewable in Bromley--and the dear thing is that they (and particularly Hawkins the designer) thought all dinos were carnivorous, so the iguanadon has sharp pointy teeth. Vide the opening of Dickens's Bleak House (1853): "Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill." As I point out, the idea that this is a post-flood occurrence means that the megalosaurus (also understood to be a meat-eater) either was on the ark or dog-paddled his way to safety somehow.
CH, I love, love Cold Comfort Farm and also Gibbons in general. My favorite novel is her The Bachelor, which skewers pacifists in Britain in WWII and provides a happy ending for all in a suburban villa, Sunglades, "that forcing house of the passions," as she puts it.

Thanks for that heads up on The Bachelor, Catsmeat; I was afraid Gibbons might be a one trick pony but, even if she had been, it's a major accomplishment at my age to run across something so refreshingly offbeat and oddly endearing.
rich and glenda, there are so many balls in the air that it's 50/50 on Schiff's pencil neck snapping from that melon getting jerked around or those bugeyes popping out. It's so nice to have the clueless dorks on the other side being Mr Jones in Ballad of a Thin Man.

but mostly I want to figure out what it is that is bothering me so about this bs russia story and the on going coup ... something is missing, unsaid ... a carpet too big for the room or a room that couldn't exist in euclidean geometry-probably both.
Someone wanted to carpet the staircases in Relativity.
or maybe I need to listen to some more deftones and drink more beer.

here's a start: Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath," one of my faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i19d1QnstsA
Long day today, including tending to a neighbor's elderly visla, "Miso," who has a cone and various ailments--plus an orchestra gala, always tiring, plus student papers, always super-duper tiring, so on a Tull note, nytol.
(daddy, I'm so glad you found the ignuadon!)

rich, if he goes to LA I think it would be to the Clip Joint with The Logo running the show but my guess now is that he'll reup with the Cavs. If he doesn't, no hard feelings from me and surely most of the fans; he gave the city a championship and erased all the bad juju of the move to Miami. Either way the Cavs are well placed for the future so kudos to Dan Gilbert and GM Koby Altman.

The problem with Africa were the tribal chieftains who became the warlords and dictators, one of the bloodiest places on the planet, the Democratic (That's your first clue) republic of the Congo, is rich with Koltan, a key element in cell phones and other devices. So before the Europeans had drawn those borders those borders were still bloody weren't they.

I don't think Bozeman is big enough to carry a film I think that Jackie Robinson film was his big break, they revisit Berlin and Korea, the former seems to be rendition central, but there is no set piece battle like Leipzig airport in the same way. After him you have Martin Freeman who plays the glum sadsack wherever.

indeed they were. I vaguely recall something similar to what jimnj mentioned. The colonial surveyors drew the boundaries perpendicular to the rivers so rival tribes ended up in blood feuds over territory (then resources, the foreign aide, &c &c).
Posted by: rich | February 10, 2018 at 11:31 PM
That championship was great, rich; everybody was so happy. Even though I'm not from here I think I enjoyed it more than the Bullets win in Seattle, the Skins under Joe Gibbs and the Terps in 2002. I watched the Cavs game at my former neighbors place and I called up Mrs H as soon as it was over. The next morning I called another buddy about going to the parade and he just said "we're there".

I saw this guy not long after this was recorded in some toilet of a club, playing songs that sounded as fresh as anything else out there. One of the original Sun artists that just didn't make it big for whatever reason:

Chadwick Boseman is a really good actor. I think it is not so much the movie but the political statement the SJW crowd would like to make ... Wakanda could as easily have been on Xandar or any of the other half dozen worlds in Guardians.

to have been really avant garde they could have made it a mostly asian cast-they did principal filming in South Korea ... suppose that misses the point, but here we are.

ExDem,
Thanks for the 09:37. That was eye-opening and positive. Great to see that Judge Emmitt Sullivan is now taking very seriously the actions of Prosecutors hiding exonerating evidence from their targets. Go Emmitt. Don't let us down again, Sir.

I never hung in the right places to intersect with serious/known musicians, especially black musicians. Closest I came is probably a guy who goes by the handle J. Ivy who's a friend of a friend, and who we ended up having dinner with at a party one night not far from GUS's place. He appeared on some Jay-Z and Kanye West records.
