Hopefully OL isn’t waiting #twoweeks to come back.

Buckeye, did you bring in outdoor plants recently? Happened to us last fall. The weather turned quickly and we brought in the “jungle” without the normal cleaning/quarantine. Sitting in the living room one night and the frog croaked. Holy crap. Took over a week to capture it.

Jane, I seem to think that you live in a condo complex. If so check with you HOA to see what if anything is allowed. If the answer is nothing, you can save a lot of time not checking generators out. 😁

Re: OL, Perhaps this is the weekend he closes up Nantucket and returns to Maryland.

Just saw my first Trump ad on CBS that deals with The Ukraine. Played the important parts of the Biden braggadocio and then went to when Trump tries to investigate the Dems (Pelosi & Schumer) want to impeach. This is going to get Lit AF.

Buckeye, if THE Ohio State University could save their choking for Oct 26th, that would be great. 😉

Wow, Alas Babylon and Canticle. Two of my favorite reads. Loved post apocalyptic story lines.

JMH, Google bookmarklets. There are a lot of useful shortcuts to enhance Safari. Before Typhus took away the trick of specifying “page 99” to get to the last page of a thread I had a bookmarklet,$JOM, that to me to the top of the last page. Some enterprising programmer type should create javascript code that uses binary search to find last page. You could key on the fact that a page# that exceeds #pages brings you to 1st page. Or scan Main page to find #comments for current thread.

A-mom, I have Greg Norman at 64 and his wife at 52. Math works for me.

Gus, it is nice to have items with family connections. My wife, the lovely and talented, would tell me she was so sad that when her favorite grandmother passed they sold everything for pennies on the dollar. My wife got nothing as she was living out of state at the time. When her own mom passed recently I told her to take any and everything she wanted even though I am trying to empty our 4K SF house.

Hey Gus, I’ve spent some time in Baileys Harbor, mostly the Cornerstone and Blue Ox. I bought my house from a couple one of whom was the daughter of Phil Hendrickson who was on the Board of the Packers. Phil and his wife owned a house on Ridges Rd in Baileys Harbor on the water. They didn’t want to have a family problem leaving it jointly to their two kids so they bought the house next door. Rich people solutions. 😀

Henry, I’m pretty sure I know the Packer IT guy you mentioned. He has two Super Bowl rings which he has let me wear (briefly). Every employee would get a ring. I like to visit Door County during June and it is pretty cool to be there when the rings are given out. They cause quite a stir in bars when people come in to show them off.

Never mind. Adler out in new rules 9/9/2019. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20190912/109921/BILLS-116pih-ResolutionforInvestigativeProcedures.pdf He just didn’t follow them.

The Judiciary committee Rules of Procedure states that members may ask questions. As a witness I would challenge questioning by contractors and refuse to answer.

Based on the General Mills info I should probably stop my anti-keto diet of eating raw flour. Darn. Clarice as I was looking at the Hawaii house you posted, the price dropped $250K. Might want to move on it.

Geez Mel, if you don’t start drinking in the morning you can’t say you drank all day.

If Mueller is a white hat (he isn’t) then he and Trump perpetrated a fraud on the country and the rule of law. You can’t restore the rule of law by breaking the law. Washington is not Andelain. (Gratuitous reference for Narcisco)

Ex, a 100 calories of grapes or 100 calories of Oreos? A 100 calories of sugar free yogurt or 100 calories of added sugar yogurt? 100 calories of popcorn or 100 calories of bread? I’m with ManTran, calories are a very poor method of deciding the value of what to eat. I’m a fan of Dr. David Ludwig and his book, Always Hungry.

TK, regarding the variable pool pump, I just had to make the decision when replacing my main pump (the joys of pool ownership). Pretty easy for me based on the length of my pool season in WI, the amount of time I plan to maintain ownership of the house and the large price difference. 16 yrs ago I would have gone with variable if they had been available. I do run my pumps 24/7 For you in CA, I would imagine a longer season and higher electric rates make it a sensible choice.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Henry, I just read your 11:12 on Evers’ task force. One of the business leaders m3ntioned is my partner in golf league. Will have to ask him about it.

PDJT: Bob thx for the input on potential FBI Director candidates but I have to ask, what about yourself as a candidate? RM: Mr President, I am only here to offer my take on what to look for in a candidate. PDJT: Fine and well, but if you were asked to serve your country, could you, would you? RM: Mr President, there are statutory impediments to that occurring. PDJT: Bob, you leave those to me. But before I expend any capital on doing so I need to know your level of interest. RM: Mr President, I would be honored to be given such an unprecedented honor. PDJT: Well we will give this its due consideration. So who lied about their perspective of/in that meeting?

Henry, for a utility, estimated billing is lose-lose. Estimate high and you generate calls for the call center. Estimate low and you just push off those calls till the actual higher usage is billed. I worked for a utility that chose the later until they implemented automated meter reading.

Jane, any chance they told you that you had Alzheimer’s and you just forgot? 😉

Predicted to be the hottest day of the year in Madison, Wi. The local utility had two transformers explode by their Blount Street plant at 7:45am. The plant is a coal plant converted to gas. No peaking today. Oops.
