Something is telling us: "Don't do it!". (Too late!)

My daughter needs to be able to drive, despite lacking income to support that necessary habit. She has undergone professional lessons and family lessons, and practiced and practiced. She landed her learner's permit easily, her practices were a little rough but improved with repettition. The day came... Sign in to see full entry.

cool game in Aviatrix's "Cockpit Conversatin" blog's comment.

Yeah, sorry, as far as I can tell she isn't on BLOGIT, but she has a cool blog, and this was suggested to show people what it is like being a TSA screener: http://www.addictinggames.com/airportsecurity.html Sign in to see full entry.

Two more heat and energy ideas

THERMOSTATS ARE NOT RADIOS. Sounds funny, but many people treat thermostats like a radio. Not cooling fast enough? Turn it down, like you'd turn up the volume on a radio... not! This causes air conditioners to run too long trying to cool the house to 60 degrees in 100 degree heat. Turn it down to...

Heat control: What's your favorite trick, technicque, or twist?

Have any unususal or unusually effective measures you take to keep your cool? A particualr cooling event you ecxperienced? How about you folks Down Under? I can lead off. A restaurant in northern California is built over a stream. They can open a hatch and cool air pumps out automatically. Hope it... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping it cool (Rant Against The Heat)

I have found a system...actually rediscovered it...to help cheaply beat the heat and be in more comfort. I'm no doubt telling Granma (well, Abuelita) how to suck eggs... Remember four principles: hot air rises, air moves from high pressure to low, fans are better pullers than pushers, and we are... Sign in to see full entry.

Think about it...movie celebrity must often be like one long pop quiz.

Some questions...MOST questions...don't have a right answer except to waffle... Who was your favorite director? Who was the worst-behaved co-star you ever worked with? What is the best of your movies? Who as your hottest leading (lady/man)? When did you stop smoking crack? How do yo feel about... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging Distlists...are they gone?

I just noticed that searching the blogs does not turn up my name. In times past, bloggers would post lists of people they putatively had read, because when you go to search wh has referred to you in a blog, you see it, click on it, and...gotcha. Some were kind en ough to entitle their blog "Are you... Sign in to see full entry.

Jim Broussard...cutting down the flag for patriotism?

A relative sent me an email with a link to the video taken by a local TV station in Reno, which happened "somehow" to get footage of this self-described Army veteran undoing a "crime" (flying the Mexican flag above the US flag on a Mexican restaurant in Reno NV). He walks up, pulls out a K-bar knife...
