Last Notes npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Follow me for more financial advice. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham I'm OK with online menus, though. Especially if I can order there *without having to log in to anything*. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham From 1944 -- LONG before Congress added "under god" in a political move, which still divides us to this day. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Accurate. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Makes sense. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Writers: is there anything they can't do? npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Unclear on the concept. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham It ... could ... work! npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham We Rate Dogs rocks. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham So sad. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham I really need to worder about the guy's anatomy, too. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham The comparison is not favorable. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham You probably think this is condescending. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham The original headline is revealed by the URL: “How Device Hoarding by Americans Is Costing the Economy”. Got that? DEVICE HOARDING. It’s official: CNBC is completely out of touch with how the billionaires are hoarding all the money (aka, “Costing the Economy”!), leaving ordinary folks struggling to buy food, let alone a new $1100+ iPhone every year. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham I can’t remember the year, but probably Jr. High (now called “Middle School”), but a male teacher — unfortunately can’t remember his name — read us ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ (by Alexander Dumas, released in chapters from 1844 to 1846). He was well known for doing that yearly, and it was terrific. Took all semester, as I recall. Mr. Jensen, maybe? npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham The evolution of Batman. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham You know, this one gets better and better as you keep reading it. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham NOT NOW Cato, you idiot! npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham When puns get this bad, they're good. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Why Mickey always wears his hat (but he's man enough [or is that mouse enough?] to be photographed without it when not in front of the movie cameras). npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham A U.S. map drawn completely from memory. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Appears accurate. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Not without a frickin' laser it's not. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham "You sure you want me to put this story with this ad?" npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Cool about the BJs, but tell me more about the dancing sandwiches. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham And here we thought kids never listened. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Time Flies! 45 years ago today, the ABC show that started as a recap of the "Iran Hostage Crisis" was announced as a permanent show, "Nightline" with Ted Koppel. (One of the Iran hostages was one of my college professors; I took a class from him after he was released.) Koppel is now 85. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham One of the risks of an Alt lifestyle. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham All she wanted was a Kit Kat. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham @nprofile…7klc I assume you know to remove it. (Dunno if you can, though.) npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham He finally figured out how to get Brenda behind him. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Earlier I posted an item about the plane crash and speculations on what happened. This particular comment deserves more exposure. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Answering the call. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham 30-1/2, actually. There's a reason it still runs strong. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham I did that anytime I was in snow. Not donuts per se, but yanking on the wheel, slamming on the brakes, etc. in order to lose traction and then recover. Since I didn’t live close to snow most of the time, I also did it in heavy rain. I did it in multiple ambulances, too. It made me a much better driver, and there’s a reason I’ve never crashed when in poor traction conditions. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Gen Z nativity. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Reality bites. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham In September I made a Modest Proposal to Canada, in the face of their spending more than C$67 million to buy up Assault Weapons and destroying them, they should pay a stipend for gun owners to voluntarily bring their guns to military bases to ship them to Ukraine. THEY’RE DOING IT! Now I think I quoted too-low a fee. Oh well. PAY UP, CANADA! npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Sure enough. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Pinocchio today. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham @npub1w9a…04m0 Be sure to LOCK the fill spout. There are many stories of removing oil systems and getting a delivery anyway, with oil pumped into an unconnected pipe and flooding the basement with oil. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Hm. How did she make that sign? npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Making sure first. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Good rule of thumb (from one of the *smart* Florida Men). npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Mel Brooks turned 98 today ...and is still working. Mongo likes Sheriff Bart. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham The chair to sit in while watching The Walking Dead. npub1p0gw962s3tq3eyr2hss6kkux7ec556lm49zqype8er4wg9qf84ws8hwf8f Randy Cassingham Yep: I was engaging with someone via Facebook this week who just can't grasp the point. Once I had the realization, I just dropped out of the conversation. It was SO freeing!
