...unable to hold down a job long term (fights with short term bottom line cretinoid administrators), the last years of my work were done travelling---filling in for vacationing folks, shortages of staff, or in just plain old crappy work environments. No longer than a few weeks, each assignment, but called back for repeat gigs. Brought the skis and hiking gear, when timed right. Name my price work, but have spent my Christmas and NY time away, working. Nice staff sometimes invited me over, but basically alone. Better being here with family, friends and Bravo. The money wasn't worth it in retrospect.

...now THERE's a little something for the stockings by the fireplace, to excite the season's spirit in everyone. Even....oh, what's her name again?

I did this



And this


To expose the fraud that councils are doing on a daily basis to take money from unsuspecting people going about their business the way it's meant to be without interference from greedy corporations who only seek to fill their pockets with the money taken from ordinary everyday people, we gave this traffic warden an education on common law.

Maybe that's the real reason why they call themselves "progressives." Fascism... "characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy." Sound familiar?

Conservative speakers attacked and banned from college campuses by the left, a platform that creates an all powerful big government that dictates everything from what you can and cannot eat, drive, wear, use for energy, what schools your kids can and cannot go to, what kind of healthcare you can and cannot have, how much money you can and cannot have, what you can and cannot say, who has the right to be born and who doesn't, what means you can and cannot have to defend yourself and your family, right down to what toilet paper you can use and what kind of toilet you have to have. DEMOCRATS WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. The ONLY thing they care about is getting into power so that they can FORCE you to live they way they dictate.

It was Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist who said that If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself. Is this not the Democrat controlled mainstream media today?

And it was also Goebbels who said that you should accuse the other side of that which you are guilty. This is a favorite tactic of the Democrats in the United States today.

They accused President Trump of "Russian collusion." But it was THE DEMOCRATS who bought and paid for the salacious fake "dossier" in collusion with the Russians and used it to try to rig the 2016 presidential election and overthrow President Trump after elected.

They accused President Trump of "abuse of power," but it is THE DEMOCRATS who are abusing their power. They are using congress as a political weapon to undo the will of the American electorate, and sabotage the president.

They accused President Trump of "obstruction of Congress," and violating the Constitution but it is THE DEMOCRATS who are obstructing Congress and violating the Constitution even at this very moment while they make a mockery of the impeachment process and Pelosi violates her duty to turn over the impeachment to the Senate.

The Democrats have become the worst kind of threat to democracy everywhere. Their tactics are straight out of the playbooks of Karl Marx and Joseph Goebbels. It's hard to tell whether they have become a Soviet style communist party or a Nazi style fascist party, but either way Americans will allow them to seize power at their own peril.

"Researchers followed 23,000 people in Italy for eight years and found that those who ate chili peppers at least four times a week had a 40% lower risk of death from heart attack and a more than 50% lower risk of death from stroke. - 4 days ago"

I heard this reported on radio news (Coast to Coast AM plug) a couple days ago.

I'm LUVVIN' on the hot peppers ...
Four times a WEEK??
Hell! I prob'ly eat four servings of the stuff per MEAL - starting with breakfast.

Crystal® Louisiana Hot Sauce ( shameless plug) is the New Ketchup & great as salad dressing.
Da Bomb - Beyond Insanity® ( ditto) Habañero Sauce is a special treat

Anyway -
It was good hearing that SOMETHING out there that folks enjoy ain't gonna kill 'em & might do 'em good

I calculated it out ...

Averaging out four servings/week & at the rate I eat 'em - I'm gonna live another 200 years.
Minimum!!

.....on the way, stopover on the lovely Azores, for the hikes around volcanic Lago Azul, and highlands. Perhaps around all of Sao Miguel Island. Inviting all my CS septuagenarian homies. Younger ones as well, by invitation only. Dogs and women need not apply. Feliz Navidad.

It must have been last year when I flushed too much paper (among other things) down the toilet and clogged the entire sewer pipe. I bought a 50 foot plumbing snake and lots of drain cleaning chemicals to get the pipe open again. Doing the work manually took a few hours but the job was done. A few weeks ago the plumbing back-up happened again. I tried for 30 minutes with the snake. Having no luck and not wanting to fight with it, we left Miami for the condo and put off the project for the following weekend.
I decided to rent a 75 foot power feed unit from Home Depot. This thing was pathetically slow and I got about 60 feet into the drain line and it was still clogged. Setting the power feed to retract the coil jammed the mechanism and it would not retract. A call to Home Depot and they told me to wrap the coil as best as I can. I had to pull the coil out by hand (with rubberized gloves) and at the end of the snake was a chunk of 'something' that I originally thought was a clog of hair! Close observation revealed it was thin long roots. There are no trees in the area where the underground pipes travel. I know the old drain pipes are made from clay/pottery in sections about 6 feet long and the joints were sealed with tar. Over the years, the ground settles and water seeps into the soil. That's what attracts roots to grown to the water source and enter the pipes usually cracking them if this goes on for any length of time. So, I knew the reason as the paper (and poo) snagged on it's way to Washington D.C.

Using a few feet of copper wire wrapping I was able to get the coil around the outside of the machine and back to the store. They were nice to allow more time for the rental and gave me another machine that had a power feed at least 10 times faster than the broken one. We got back to the project and this time I added a cutter head attachment that's designed to shave off roots inside the pipe. The company who hires out to clean drains with a drain auger is Roto-Rooter. This is similar only cheaper as I'm doing it myself.

Less than 30 minutes with the new machine cleaned the clog. I ran it back and forth several times to be sure to scrape away as much of the roots as possible.

This weekend I gave it the ultimate 'poo down the pipe' test and all went well.
No worries!
