Mitch McConnell for Pres. 2016 and General of Counter-Terrorism for VP.
I thought you would be interested in this story I found on news.msn.com: US ambassador summoned by Germany over NSA spying ( http://news.msn.com/world/us-ambassador-summoned-by-germany-over-nsa-spying#tscptme, )
Wait a second? Didn’t Snowden first go to China? Where China and their reverse-technology, was granted the rights to reproduce the Grundig SW radio? I hear people in American jails, know how to increase the band-with of small transistor radio’s. What could China do with a Grundig or cell phone, like the Samsung knock-off.
Now didn’t Germany discredit our secrets, as found in the German newspaper?
As for France, just how long were they (like Australia in Afghanistan) going to provide there battalions, in the Syrian civil strife? Long enough to see the US weaponry as a Socialist Country? Then pull-out and leave us to boots on the ground?
Now: what about Switzerland and that $2,800.00 a month? Doesn’t that story sound familiar, as in the US $10 Million dollar theory?
What happened to our spy-plane brought down by China? If France and Germany are really worried about spying? Wouldn’t we infiltrate the Belgian Arms Race? I think they have enough to worry about, with the Saab software in Fighter Jets? Comprendee-Vous?
No. One Global Problem? Malnutrition.
It would certainly be a learning experience!
I took Kathleen and Frank to the playground, mixed results. Kathleen wanted to hang around the community building looking for trouble, and I got bored with that after a while. Eventually I had to carry her home, kicking and screaming, because she really wanted to run into the street.
I suppose it’s a blessing that nobody called the cops!
Yah, I read that. My niece in Shelley, Idaho beat you to the punch, as she googled the question. I thought she was a spoil sport, and took herself too seriously, but then, I don’t have to live close to her.
I thought it was fun to see giraffes pop up in unexpected places, but she evidently felt it was beneath her. As for Laz, well, he’s a guy, so...
Yes, it is, because cops don't deal with stress too well, and their handcuffs won't fit Kathleen.
Good points.
I took the starter back this morning, and told them about the “chitter” I heard. Of course, by the time I had driven the mile and started the engine again, the sound was gone.
But get this: I was told the “starter was sucking air.” WHAT??? Starters don’t suck or blow...(sorry) They just work or they don’t. So I’m going to email the company with the receipt info, the return info and the name of the really intelligent dude who told me a starter “sucks air.”
I went to my daughter’s and back and so far, have had no problems with starting. It sounds quieter, but maybe that’s because it is sounding like it should. Anyway, I will go start it again in a while and see what it sounds like.
(I loathe people who think they can pull a fast one on me...)
Air cooling isn’t needed for starters.
However, some alternators have special cooling arrangements. It looks a little weird.
Still, I will write the company. I’m not the brightest bulb in the drawer, but I know when someone is trying to feed me a line.
Why would the alternator need “special cooling arrangements” with a “new” starter of the same type?
“Some” alternators on “some” cars with high-output requirements.
"I’m not the sharpest bulb in the drawer, ..."Not that it would apply to you, anyway. You are a font of experience and practicality.
OR she could be like James, who is not the sharpest knife in the chandelier. Or is that the brightest knife ...
I’ve confused myself.
It’s gone all warm here - 78.5 in the dining room. And it’s not because of the oven, because we made supper in the crockpot.
A 4-cylinder with no A/C? Not “high-output” in my book...Just axin’.
It’s because I came back from Pennsylvania.
It always gets warmer when I move South.
It was two other people.
Well, I don’t want to tell you to go back North, but I’m not really in the mood to run the air conditioner in November.
We’re just barely cooking along at 60 degrees outside, winds are WNW @ 12, and there is snow occurring on Mt. Charleston, which has already had some ice and snow in the last 24 hours.
I may have to put the blanket on the bed tonight. I actually got cold last night, even with the heated mattress pad.
*shiver* I don’t like winter.
I feel like Col. Blake from M*A*S*H: I have so much underwear on, my thighs don’t know each other any more!
Heh. I wonder if we can get M*A*S*H from Netflix.
And the answer is, Yes, on many, many DVDs. Maybe someday when I’m bored I’ll read all the descriptions and try to find the episodes with Sidney Friedman in them.
Ah. I see. You are forgived.
Freidman was a breath of fresh air in that series, as by then Alan Alda was on his soapbox and spouting liberal lies. Once Radar was gone, M*A*S*H lost its appeal to me.
Hockeybughow has all the episodes. He began with VHS tapes, then went to DVD’s and I wish he had thought of me when he was giving up the VHS tapes. His ex-FiL has them.
Anyway, Wayne Rogers, Alan Alda, McClain Stevenson, Larry Linville and *ungh* Radar and Loretta Swit made M*A*S*H the hit it was for so long. The politics got too intricate, and one by one, the stars left. Of course McClain died not too long after he left the series, but I was able to meet him in a camera shop in Reseda, CA.
I am not. I am cantankerous, boisterous, and annoying. Don’t you forget that for a moment.
Humph.
