Above, the pledge in French. In French IV in high school we had to recite it every day in French. Yeah, once I was quite the linguist, even got accepted at Fort Meade NSA to learn Russian.

Back in the day of the Cold War I might add.

Heh.

Ole Torq was the meanest of all the Grand Inquisitioners!

They will rue the day they invited Ted to the show...they are still so arrogant to underestimate him.

Sympathize with you. Power used to be a huge problem down here. It was off as much as on and in Haiti you had to have a generator.(still do) Diesel seems to be the most popular.

If you are as hot as we are bad time for power to go off.

............

Yeah on the shark thing I gotcha. No problem. Sharks are supposedly endangered since the longliners are wiping them out worldwide for the shark fin soup.

Problem is when they find a safe haven it works against us especially here.

We have sharks offshore and in the back eating all our game fish and scaring the daylights out of everyone.

We have bull sharks her big enough to eat 100lbs tarpon. Worst part is we can't kill them off any more like the old days.

Everything is "so" pc these days, really sucks.

Thanks Shalom, yes Trump is getting the Palin treatment and he so far has not buckled. It will take all of his skills to fight this war on his empire.

He may not be people’s first choice, but he is taking the fight to the enemy and he needs to speak truth to power. He did not say anything controversial.

[rodguy911]

LOL! Gotcha thanks.!

A.B. Consider a generator powered by your natural gas. Always there.

Great stuff I guess I am a "crypto Methodist"

Under the edict of March 31, 1492, known as the Alhambra Decree, approximately 200,000 Jews left Spain. Following the Alhambra decree of 1492, approximately 50,000 Jews took baptism so as to remain in Spain; however, many of these—known as "Marranos" from Corinthians II, a contraction of anathema—were "crypto-jews" and secretly kept some of their Jewish traditions.[13]

How bout Cruz/Trump--sounds good to me!

[bray]

That pair would bring Capitalism back to America and The Donald would be a perfect bulldog VP.

[HoosierWordsmith]

Looking forward to watching Ted mop the floor with F. Chuck....

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks, but I don't have enough money...

I'm thinking of buying solar panels, a panel here, a panel there, over time, and getting a battery bank and inverter in the house... Then I need to wire the circuit panel to allow me to selectively reroute power to different circuits.

The biggest problem is air conditioning. My big double units need about 16Kw startup power. 2 years ago I bought a newer, much more energy efficient model, and that has saved me a lot, because it uses much less power. I need to replace the second unit but that will run me about $5000.

I bought one of these portable A/C units just for one bedroom that I could hook up to the generator:

But as I said, setting up the generator itself takes a lot of effort and time and as the power company kept saying power would be restored in about an hour I never bothered.

I need something simpler--just to plug in the A/C unit above, a lamp and maybe my laptop tethered to my cell phone.

You've got to understand--I was WITHOUT Free Republic for 12 whole hours yesterday!!!!

In the heat.

It was also raining all that time and the humidity was 99% so open windows didn't help.

The horror, the horror...

[rodguy911]

Agreed would love to see it.

[bray]

How did you survive. Must have been a harrowing story.

[rodguy911]

Trump had some not so pleasing words about F.Chuck not too long ago. Can't recall the exact comment but he came so close to calling him F.Chuck, great moment.

[CincyRichieRich]

That pair would bring Capitalism back to America and The Donald would be a perfect bulldog VP.

I think so, too but realize Trump has zero experience/tolerance for being 2nd fiddle.

[rodguy911]

LOL!! 0nly the tough make it here....

[rodguy911]

Gotta go and paint some more rods, back on the road tomorrow.

[ExCTCitizen]

Trump as Cruz’ VP would be fun to see...The GOPe would try to fight that, thou...or a Cruz presidency...

[shalom aleichem]

Careful. The Thread Police may insist you transfer this to “Genealogy” or “Religion”. lol

BTW notice that the year 1492 is also when Columbus skipped town. A recent book by Steve Berry suggests (actually says) that ole Chris was a Jew getting out of Spain just in time, and that he brought all the Jewish gold with him and hid it in Jamaica. You’d like the book.
