A Cheque for Base Assumptions

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I suggest the fundamental flaw in US governmental spending is that the universal well-being of US citizen is not the priority recipient of programs sponsored by US taxes. The US government pays for programs whose benefits are outside the US economy, outside our borders, outside our continent, and outside our ...

This was posted to my Facebook account, in a field that requires 1024 characters or fewer. The accident was May 2: 101 to 880 banking right turn @40 MPH + rain = Achieved 880 and the rear end came around on my left, pointing me right. I noticed two cars on shoulder ...

Blogging... more now than wow.

Use the Forms, Luke

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

I could always RTFM ("Read the F... Fine Manual"), but no. I, who can program VCRs without reading manuals (gosh dad, that's so 1980s), can obviously figure out how to post a message on my own website without resorting to administrator privileges. Just give me 20 minutes. I can do it. ...
