While We're Waiting... Here's a Cascade of Notes

Guess who. 

It Is Summertime !!

Say No More.

Folks, Folks, Folks !!!!

The democrats have displayed beyond a shadow of a doubt that they intend to implement full blown socialism. If you think socialism will make your life better, Vote for it. 

Else vote against it. It does not matter who is running on the non-democrat side. Dig? 

This is simple.  It can't be any simpler.  It couldn't possibly be any simpler.

 

Remember

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh

Update: I just put this in the comments, but I think it belongs here too.

Another Tune I Tried To Play

100% Unsuccessfully.

Chet Atkins - Blue Angel.

Click the picture since embedding is disabled.

And as long as I'm talking about tunes I love and can't play..  This one did embed. Brings tears to the eyes. Mine anyway.
It's a Spanish tune of course and it's like life. It starts slow, has melodic harmonic tones intertwined with hard driving notes, then moves between beauty and hardness until it ends far too soon leaving us to cry out that it cannot be over yet.

A Major Problem That Does Not Seem Very Visible

Public Unions

I have no problem with the Individuals in any of these professions.  I do have a major problem with the groups as a whole.  Recently, in Ohio, the majority of public union workers completely blitzed the non-public union voters and voted to repeal Ohio SB-5 which cancelled collective bargaining rights.

What this essentially means in practice is that public union workers can completely ignore economic conditions like this perpetual recession oBAMa keeps us in and vote to give themselves raises and benefits to be paid for by the taxpayers, who if not in a public union, probably haven't had a raise in a good while And is feeling the total effects of the recession and inflation generated by the Fed in an attempt to avoid deflation and make it so the banks and wall street can have a do-over after fucking over the entire world's financial systems.

Ok, Now for the interesting stuff !

Here's an excerpt from a story from Cincinnati involving a fire station in Sycamore Township, a fairly small community.

"The cuts, which were recommended to the trustees by the fire chief, were voted on quickly and unanimously.  The 70-85 part-time firefighters will all lose their jobs on June 14th.  The full-time staff will be cut from 27 firefighters to 13 firefighters on June 2th. Trustees will ask some of the laid-off full time firefighters to come back as part-timers, without benefits, in order to keep the station staffed."

WHAT?!?!?!? Get that?  Anywhere from 84 (70+14) to 99 (85+14)  (The 14 is the difference between 27 and 13 in the story) are being cut.  And they Don't Even Know whether they have 70 or 85 Part Time Workers !!???  So, from 84 to 99 people are being slashed from the payroll and associated benefits packages afforded firefighters in Sycamore Township. Not even a pin prick on the total firefighter community in America.  Because they Aren't Needed !

Apparently, they can go from 84 to 99 down to 13 and call it good !

Are you serious?

Can you see how we've been raped by this tiny representation of public union ?

Also recently, a local school district, Lakota School District had to let go 100+ teachers and 90 (count em, 90) "Administrators".  90 Administrators, you know who were probably averaging 100k a year.  Let go because the money is gone and no one going to give them any more.  What they Hell did They DO ?!?!?  - Beside sit around, drink coffee, eat donuts and screw up the education process in America.

Multiply this across the country.

We are all of us being raped in a gross impositional way by the Public Unions.

And Ohio is a 50-50 red-blue state.  Imagine what goes on in all blue states like Illinios, Michigan, New York, etc.

It's time to let them know WE know what they're doing to us and we don't like it.  Feeling helpless?  This is something that YOU can actually have an effect on that will have a major effect on you in your local community.

Show up at the polls and cast your vote about whether you want to continue to be raped all day long.  Yea, I know some of you like it.

Let's Go For a Ride !

Starting around the 6:20 mark shows the kind of roads we had available to us to race around on as kids.  Sewickley Heights, NW of Pittsburgh Pa.  Mile long driveways, million dollar mansions.

Wish we'd have had cars like this to do it with ! At least we had the superbikes of the day.  Norton, BSA, Triumph..

34 inches high, wide as a Buick, 450 hp. 2,100 lbs, 0-60 3.5 secs.

Enjoy.

If you're like me and you want some more.... 

Most Interesting. Water is Not the Problem. Melt the Ice !

Isn't it interesting that as the population of the Earth expands, that somehow more water is provided to the planets inhabitants ?

If we can assume that warming and ice melt is true in the first place. What a beautiful natural solution to an easily seen problem.  Generally speaking, the Earth has gotten warmer over the last 15-18,000 years since the last "Ice Age", so to some extent the warming thing is happening.  And for Good Reason I'd say.   Embrace the Change ! (but screw the hope)

Way Over The Top

Incredible bicycle riding.  I thought I was nuts when I was young.  Course I don't see him hopping moving trains and jumping from car to car either :)
