One
Of My Very Own…
You can have my thoughts and prayers when you pry them
from my cold, dead hands.
One can only imagine the terror...

Remember this?
That multi-lock gate bar is
unique, but uncomplicated. While the photo conveys an initial impression that
the bottom "bar" is solid, it is essentially a chain of individual
links with each padlock connecting two links together. The rightmost half-link
is fixed to the post, the leftmost L-shaped link is fixed to the upper sliding
bar, and the intermediate links are free-floating and able to slide along the
upper bar. Remove any one of the padlocks and its links will separate, allowing
the upper bar to slide left.
My wife sent me this short article about the cry baby generation that is now entering college. I liked it.

And my daughter sent me an even better one.

By the way, there were probably more attacks that the governments didn't tell us about.

I see no gloves, goggles,
hard hats or fear, and thereby suspect this involves Russians.

Remember that
"ridiculous" lawsuit where a woman sued McDonald's for their coffee
being too hot? Well, here are her burns...
McDonald's refused to pay
her medical bills. Plus she didn't receive the $2.9 million but $500 K. The
coffee was scalding hot.

In the Middle Ages, it was
believed that the sound of a bell could disperse thunder. A large number of
bell-ringers were electrocuted as a result. In France between the years 1753
and 1786, 103 bell-ringers were killed during thunderstorms as a result of
holding on to wet bell ropes. The Parliament of Paris enforced an edict in 1786
to prohibit the practice. Deaths likely continued until the 19th century, when
the lightning rod came into general use.

Judith Dull, an aspiring model, was murdered by “Glamour Girl Killer” Harvey Glatman. Glatman moved to Los Angeles, where he posed as a professional photographer to lure girls into his hotel room with the promise of work.
There, he tied them up, photographed them, and eventually killed them and dumped their bodies. Judith, 19 and divorced, showed up at Glatman’s under the premise that she would pose for a crime fiction magazine.

When we are happy, our
natural response is to smile. But if you flip that around, does the reverse
hold true? When we smile, is our natural response then to be happy? Science
says yes. In fact, even faking or forcing a smile reduces stress and makes you
happier.

I have often thought the same way. You pay with dollars, but it takes you a certain amount of time to make each dollar.
