  • She waited 72 hours. The last living rescue was less than 24 hours after the flood.

    We don’t pay government to provide services, we pay government to support political functionaries and their appointed staff in their role as thieves of our taxes.

    Small government for ®'s is no spending on services. Small government for (D)'s is no limits on spending for things we all agree we need (with all of the overhead of the R’s).

    I guess I would rather have the one where I get some basic level of service from my government but I can’t claim to like it.





  • I call total bullshit on this. I drive a (work-provided) Prius every day. This thing has some serious get-up-and-go…meaning as I drive it every day I simply smoke those (front) tires. I leave most “performance cars” (ICE) behind at the light. That means that I am tossing micro-plastics out at a greater rate than most cars. I burn though tires every 15,000 miles.

    When I get a red light (remember, I don’t own it, it’s a work car) I slam brakes until I can punch it again once it’s clear. The regen-brake thing never applies given how I drive. The Prius is not inherently greener, it’s just more fun than the ICE alternative I had before.

    I do burn through a lot less gas so I guess 30-50 MPG is worth something.

    I love my green alternative vehicle!

    So totally true. I’m glad to see my intended comment so well phrased. My son was full of personality from the moment his eyes opened (and I melted).

    As for funeral - myself, I don’t see the point of one for anyone. They don’t care. If the people left behind feel the need to do something they can but I don’t see the point of it.

    I’m prepared for flames but I’m a light/sweet guy - always have been except with espresso. I control how much I use by employing heavy cream to just cover the bottom of my cup. One pump of simple syrup to that then filler 'er up from my French press. I gather that will not be your cup of tea but that’s how I like it.
