Tell me it ain't so... Mega Million rolled over again and the jackpot has reached a billion dollars. The lure is so great the lottery website is lagging with response.
Personally, having a billion jackpot wouldn't make me want to run to the lottery booth any more than 100 million jackpot.

I was out running errands and saw a guy walking his dogs. Not your usual breed. These were Greyhounds. Two of them with long leashes and he was jogging enough for them to do more than a trot. If I decide to get a dog again it might be a miniature Greyhound.
They are so sleek that they appear to be moving when they're not!

For years, gambling and dog racing has been legal in Miami and my dad used to make frequent visits one of the many tracks. My (first) wife and I went once to see what it was all about. I suppose you have to spend time going over the dogs and history to make a good choice. I really had no interest in the sport.
On the way out of the parking lot we saw trucks that were used to transport the dogs. There could be as many as 8 cages per truck. Each cage was designed to hold one dog and the lockable doors had louvers for ventilation.
Out of curiosity, we got up close and could hear some of the dogs inside their cages.
Some young kids from the neighborhood gathered around one of the trucks and you can hear their excitement as one kid remarked "Dems racin' dawgs"
Hearing that, my wife and I laughed and to this day if the subject of Greyhounds comes up, you can be sure one of us will say "Dems racin' dawgs!"

....turning yet another witch hunt, coup equivalent, failed case by the NY state Democrat AG back to be litigated further in lower courts. In the 9 to 0 decision, the point was made, that a president is not completely immune from state originated subpoenas. Big BUT, VERY big, such officials must also be protected from such moves which "MAY BE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED".
The further court persecution procedures will easily take place until well after the election.
As always, follow your deep hate motivated feelings, and TD-HD Syndrome biased convictions and emotions. But just read up on the FACTS, and don't take the fat little illiterate Vierk Gnome's words for it.
Just one more small step for the man, and a big step for mankind. Sooooo SWEET.
Thank the Goddess for the impaired Ex VP Biden, and the Dem's ongoing circular firing squad, of increasing disarray, and near panic. November.

Were actually rubbish, and I'm sick of hearing how great it was.

I suggest that this wonderful site develop an al Gore rythym to screen out the fairly large percentage of scammers. Could be based on location, use of language, history, stories, etc. The few false positives could have a path to easily reapply, based on a few key variables. But then we'd miss all the great stories/proposals. Any folks have some of these to share, all intended to get USD's wired or mothers/kids in need of costly medical treatment? V-Aa.

......or is it? Further awesome aspects of CS are the copious warnings against scammers. Such low lives on these sites---who would have thunk it? Well all such warnings are helpful. But many of us have evolved personal strategies to vet out these pathetic miscreants. Some such human trash are identifiable, with few false positives, from almost their first few words. Sort of fun, actually.

Woo hoo ! I just scored my 5,000th email from a 3'7" "native american"

No photo of an Instragram model this time.
At least they could put some effort into it.



I'm guessing, that perhaps I win a free membership, or perhaps a plug nickel for this achievement.

Cleanup on aisles 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 14, 16, 18, 20-26
It's a busy day in scamland!

I've been in and out of the model helicopter hobby a few times in nearly 50 years, overcoming a divorce, the loss of both parents, two serious car accidents and multiple job changes. I started back around 6 years ago, it was with some very small and inexpensive models that could only help me practice at a slow pace. I've since upgraded to larger models that are more powerful and fly with more authority. The only drawback is the cost... several thousand per model. It's a fact that no serious pilot can get by with only one radio controlled helicopter.

It's not possible for me to dedicate myself to the sport like I want... there are other obligations. 30 years ago, I recall levels of obsession where I would come home from work and practice on a computer simulator for 2 hours, break for dinner and get back to another 2 or 3 hours of practice.
It didn't matter how good I got, as going to competition or fun-fly events I could always find guys who were better pilots... much better. There was a guy who invented an electronic device, patented it and sold the product to a car manufacturer. His company was self sufficient to the point where he didn't have to work and would come to Florida every winter to practice flying at a local field for several hours each day.
Being exposed to that level of talent was incentive to continue improving and never reaching a plateau.

Most of us are flying 'pod & boom' style helicopters at have a fiberglass canopy to cover the motor and electronics with a long tail boom and a few fins. They aren't attractive, but fly great. There is a visual drawback, so we often wrap them in brightly colored sticky tape so they can be seen better when far away.

Often these models have names that reflect the size of the blades, like Logo 700 or RAW 580. 700 indicates the main blade length is 700 millimeters. Others have cool names like Dominator or Whiplash. There is one model that has a full fuselage to look like a real helicopter. Lots of guys have them but not too many are out flying them. Mentioned on a previous blog, a friend buys and sells models and recently picked up some used helicopters in a package deal that he plans to maintain and resell. One was a model called Kraken, named after the legendary sea monster.

I've seen them fly. They are very attractive and easy to see in the air. So, I made my friend an offer to trade one of my pod & boom models plus some cash for his Kraken.
He accepted the offer. Part of the deal was to go through the electronics and make sure all was good. He rewired a few connections because the guy who built it originally wasn't meticulous.

After initial testing, my friend flew it, made a few tweaks in the settings and handed it to me to try. Yes, smooth and predictable.

I've only got 2 sets of batteries that fit this model and this week, I'll order 2 more!
Aye, the Kraken...
