So, you have smoke detectors in your home and you’re as safe as you can be, correct?
Of course if you have smoke detectors you also have fire extinguishers of the proper type and in the proper locations, and you actually know how to use them, correct?
Fox News, quoting an article from The Associated Press, reports:

Operating Room Fistfight Leads to Botched Delivery

I discovered a really neat idea last week, quite by accident. and for the handful of you who know of this blog, I offer it for your consideration.
With allowance for interpretations of verb tense, I think of the Chinese proverb “Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach him to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime.”
Thanks to Lawdog for pointing out this article at http://injennifershead.com/?p=1841; it captures my feeling about entertainers and their self-importance and assumed brilliance.
And in case you forgot or don’t know about “Shut Up and Sing,” see the book. Yes, there was a film, but it never appeared to be worth my time.
From my transaction log (I do a lot of business over the Internet):
Aug 2: Ordered a TV and a wall mount from East Coast TV’s of Linden, New Jersey.
Aug 5: I call to ask status of the order and they don’t have the info. I am told they will call me back. The return call never came.
Now I have a “real” flag pole. The old one is no longer in place. It was a sectional pole bought for around $100 at Sam’s Club. Very lightweight, thin walled, it was good for the purpose intended if I wanted to be going out and taking the flag(s) down whenever a windy storm came by. In other locations that might have been realistic, but here in Central Florida that’s a daily occurrence in the rainy season, so the inevitable happened.
I don’t know if I’ll stick with it or how deeply I’ll be involved, but with my back getting increasingly worse and not wanting to go through a 5th spine surgery, I’m thinking it might be wise to enable enjoying pursuits that do not require very much physical activity. Between that and a bit of cash from an inheritance, a hell of a way to get money and I’d rather it not be so, I’ve decided to get back into ham radio.
