I see the employees around here, they do a good job of holding shovel handles. I had the misfortune just the other day of getting behind them on my way home. They were driving along, one to drive the other to give instructions I guess and two to shovel gravel into the holes on the road. They did 4 holes and then stopped, took a smoke break and held the shovels up. At least though I was able to get around them at that point and that’s when I saw two inside the truck.
About an hour later my husband came home and was griping about the dummies wasting time and money when next week they’ll be back filling the same holes again. I asked him where he saw them at and in one hour they had made it about a mile. He said that was because they filled two holes and then stopped for a break. I told him they must be getting tired they were filling four holes before stopping.
Now a private employee would be fired for doing subpar work and taking breaks every 5 minutes, but county employees know as long as they look to be busy they’ll keep their job.

Back in the early 80’s people were putting homemade bombs in other’s trashcans. One day I found a metal object that I didn’t recognize in mine. I called either the police or fire dept. to ask if they knew what it was. Five minutes later there was a fire truck, a rescue truck, and about 4 cop cars in front of my house. Probably the bomb squad, too. When I showed them where it was, the officer picked it up and looked at me and said, “This is a CO2 cartridge.” I had no idea what a CO2 cartridge was. I had never seen one. I imagine when they all got back to the office, they had a really good laugh. And, I have no idea how it got in my trash.

Back in the day, I received a call to investigate an explosive device at an old folks home, with Bomb and Arson on stanby. When I arrived all the residents were crowded around the front door with an old wizened gentleman directing them. This old gentleman was apparently in charge as he informed me that they had found some explosives on the property and that he had made it secure. This old gentlemen also informed me that he had been in the military, the Spanish American War I think. 😉
The old gentleman leads me to the far end of the building where he points at a couch that was covered in pillows. The gentleman informed me that he had placed the explosive there and cushioned it should it explode. The gentleman went on to inform me that he had identified the explosive as Nitroglycerin and that I should handle it carefully.
I carefully lifted the top pillow and observed a container with a yellow liquid inside. Following the old gentleman’s instructions, I carefully picked up the container and instructed him to clear the residents out of the way as I removed it from the building. As I carefully carried the container through the building, the old gentleman hurriedly went to the front door and opened it so I could exit the building.
As I exited the building, the old gentleman asked what I was going to do with the container with the explosive. I informed him that I had a “bomb box” in the back of my cruiser I and that I was going to take it to a safe location for disposal.
Once the contained was secured in my “bomb box,” I gave the old gentleman a thumbs up and drove very slowly away from the facility. After traveling several blocks, I then drove down some alleys until I found a suitable dumpster (open) where I could safely dispose of the “explosive.” I then informed the dispatcher of what had occurred, that the Urine Specimen had been safely disposed of, cancel Bomb and Arson and then “coded” the assignment.
Life in the big city. 🙂

I remember those days. My brother once was in town spending the weekend with a friend and they were shooting mailboxes and signs with pellet guns off their bicycles.
I was hiding and listening when the officer brought him home and our home was way out of his jurisdiction, he told my parents that both boys begged him to take them to jail and not home. My brother was around 10 at the time. He got his rear spanked and was put on “girl” detail for a week, he had to wash clothes, wash dishes, scrub and wax the floors, clean the windows, scrub the toilet and bathtub and he lost his bike for a month and his pellet gun for 6 months and he was not allowed to go stay the night with his friend anymore. Not only did he ever go around shooting any signs or mailboxes again, but his punishment made the rest of not want to do that particular crime.
Today the kids would more than likely be charged with a crime and if they begged for jail over their parents, CPS would probably be called in to investigate “abuse.”
However, far too many parents today probably would just tell them not to do it again and would blame the cops for being mean to their precious child.

I am reminded of PZ’s story as one of the vignettes in his law school admission essay,
“Without the Law, What are We?”, where the HumVee he was gunner in the turret on was surrounded by what he believed to be insurgents in stolen Iraqi army uniforms. They continued to press towards the vehicle, even after numerous warnings in Arabic to stand down and stand back and the situation continued to escalate. Understand the man had already been IED’d twice by then and survived several failed ambush attempts. With his finger squeezing on the trigger, he had a decision to make. He would have been “justified” in shooting, but chose patience and forebearance and allowed the scene to play out.
Taking a life should never, ever be taken lightly, let alone with the arrogance of “justification” hiding behind state sanctioned force. I have watched the various videos of the scene, and I am disgusted by what I see. FWIW.

Good morning Stellar Friends! Time for an Iditarod update. I did not get anything written yesterday due to a heavy schedule. The actual start of the race happened smoothly yesterday, beginning at 2:00 pm Alaska time in the town of Willow, Alaska. A word about the Ceremonial Start/Restart thing. Back in the early years of Iditarod in the 1970s, Alaska had no freeways. Mushers started in downtown Anchorage and drove their teams all the way to Nome. With the building of a controlled-access freeway from Anchorage to Fairbanks, there was no way to mush directly from Anchorage into the Alaska Range. Thus the Restart, which is now the real beginning of the race.
The Ceremonial Start is required, but does not count as part of the race. The teams take off one at a time in Anchorage with throngs of fans cheering from the sidelines and a blitz of media interviewing, broadcasting and recording. The sleds are empty of any supplies and only 12 dogs are in harness. There is an auction for people to be “Iditariders” who get to ride in the musher’s sled for those few Anchorage miles, with some paying a couple of thousand bucks to be in the big-name sleds. At the end of these few miles, dogs and sleds are loaded into the musher’s trucks and driven to the Restart, this year in Willow but some years in other towns, to begin the real race on Sunday. Aliy Zirkle had a Go-Pro camera mounted just behind her on the follow sled (only used for the Ceremonial Start, to give extra control in the congested city) which gives a great sense of the fun and hoop-la of this media event. You can watch here: http://spkenneldoglog.blogspot.com/2016/03/id-ceremonial-start-videos.html
Yesterday’s Restart went off without a hitch. The Restart is also one team at a time leaving every 2 minutes. Mass starts, where all teams line up together and take off at once, are a recipe for disaster when there are more than a half dozen teams. There are 85 teams competing in this year’s race, so it took almost 3 hours to launch all the teams. Those time differences will be compensated for at the 24-hour mandatory rest somewhere near the race midpoint; this is a major factor in comparing relative positions during the early race.
There are 22 checkpoints in the race, about 100 miles apart. Each musher sends supplies out ahead of time to be retrieved when they arrive–dog food, musher food, clothing, gear, even a whole different (much lighter) sled for the last leg of the race. Dogs who are not doing well for any reason can be “dropped” at any checkpoint and will be flown back to Anchorage where they are cared for until retrieved by the mushers or their handlers.
The front of the race has just reached the 3rd checkpoint. Aliy is in 2nd place right now (which doesn’t mean a whole lot at this early point, but is always encouraging to see). The first team to scratch has done so at the 2nd checkpoint, so we’re down to 84 teams. I expect as many as two dozen teams may scratch before the race is over. Anything can happen out there, and often does. In 1985, the great Susan Butcher had to scratch when her team was attacked by a moose on the trail who killed several dogs and injured many more as Susan watched, helpless to stop it. Forever after that, she carried a rifle in the sled, which is not required. That was the year that Libby Riddles went down in history as the first woman to win. Without that moose, I believe Susan Butcher would have held that honor. She went on to win in four of the next five years. No woman has won the race since.
Buckle up, race fans! We’re just getting started. In case you’d like a little extra dog mushing entertainment, I highly recommend the book Winter Dance: the Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen. Thigh-slapping hilarity.

Thanks, taqi, love this! What he’s doing is called popcorning–jumping up and lunging against the halter to go. Usually accompanied by constant barking. This is common behavior among lesser-trained dogs and it is usually the entire team doing it. Your snow hook better be firmly planted (preferably with someone standing on it) or that lunging will bust it loose and the team is off down the trail without you. People see the highly trained dogs of Iditarod standing quietly at the start and think that is normal behavior. I can tell you from much experience that it is not.

There is a little Icon(?) at the bottom of the screen next to where I click on Foxfire and it has some little squiggles on it. I have no idea what it is for. That is the name that comes up when I run the cursor across it. I really am not fond of technology because they keep updating it. Nobody is updating my mind. 😦

Don’t automatically assume that. It may be used for some other program you have on your computer.

Yes its a framework that can be used for lots of things. Lenovo uses it in their system update utility. Some games use it. It seems to be getting more common, and has regular updates.

Did you request it? Or personally download it, because you wanted it?
Then you probably don’t want it.
I could be off base here, I know. Have you recently installed a new program that might need it in order to properly function?
Google it. But, if I get a pop-up asking me if I wish to install something that I didn’t specifically load up, I always say no, delete it, and figure out why it wanted to be installed in the first place.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and AVG antivirus are good follow-ups to these occurrences.

Look up Ransomware.
It’s a big fad, now, and everyone should know about it.
The gist: you click “OK” on a dialog that asks you if you wish to install “Professional Sounding Program Name”, in an e-mail attachment. Might be a .doc file. Might be another extension. It then locks your entire PC with crazy encryption. You turn on your PC, and get a message about where to send the money, for the unlock key.
Be safe, online. Quit using 12345 as a password.
Your operating system has a Notepad program. Make better passwords. I just look away from the keyboard, randomly hit keys, adjust the outcome, and put them all in a text file.
Good to ask, aus.
If you don’t know who sent it, or you don’t know what it is, don’t click OK.
Knock on wood, but I’ve never had a virus or adware problem, in more than 10 years.
That I know of. There’s always that paranoia. But with these issues, it usually boils down to what the computer user(s) personally decide to click “OK” on.
Now that I mention it, is there more than one user of your PC?

We need to get our porch painted. We got all the scraping done about a week ago, but haven’t gotten around to painting. Now I guess it will have to wait until the rain moves out.
Just not enough hours in the day to do everything that always needed done.

So that is why Rubio is still in. The less delegates any of them have the better for Romney/Ryan to push on the public that there is no clear favorite and Romney/Ryan are there to draw unity out of chaos. So Rubio is in through Florida. That is why Trump called for Rubio to drop out.
