Are we there yet?

A
devastating earthquake has hit Los Angeles. Well, there
are rumbles here in the Atlanta area, too. Apparently, area
schools have been told that they can no longer sponsor Cub
Scout packs or Boy Scout troops (I havn't heard if the Girl
Scouts will be banned as well or not). As the moral fiber of
this fine country continues to crumble, those tearing it down
get more vocal. Why do the rest of us stay so quiet? Polls
show that a majority of Americans support the Scouts, but
we're not being heard. Speak up, please! Organizations like
Grassfire are easy ways to lend your voice of support for
Scouting.

Current song: Santa Baby. C.Basinet or the original Eartha
Kitt. Did Marilyn
Monroe really sing this? Every copy I can find that has
her name on it appears to really be Ms. Basinet's recording.
Hurry down the chimney
tonight.

"With a swipe of his pen, Clinton proved
there is more than one way to get around Congress" AvWeb
reports on the creation of the new "Air Traffic Organization."
Note the mentions of user fees and higher landing fees. For
those who think flying in the U.S. is expensive, I've heard
that flying in Europe is practically imposible for Joe Pilot
due to the fee structure.

CNN just ran a feature on new
"compression ignition" engines for general aviation, but I
can't find anything on their website. Is this what
they're talking about? [later] Nelson says "Diesel engines.
They ignite the mixture due to the heat of compressing the
mixture. No spark plug." Interesting. He's also passed me a
mag with an article on it. And pointed us to NASA's General Aviation
Propulsion (GAP) program. More to
read.

Have I mentioned how much I hate
hardware? No sooner do I get the garage door fixed than the
refidgerator stops refridgerating and the oven stops ovening.
Repair-dudes Herbert and Mike are here now, working their
hardware magic. Great
guys.

Al, will you please stop this
time? We're getting darn tired of the Gore-loop. 'If x
happens, I'll concede.' ... 'Oh, x happened? Lawyers, on to
the next
step!' Repeat until
elected.

[1005est] CNN's
reporting that "Democrat Al Gore today ordered his recount
committee to cease operations and is planning to deliver a
statement to the nation
tonight."

Is there a "news" program, anywhere in
the country, that's not biased,
not just repeating the Democrats vitrolic opinions over and
over as though it's hard fact? Geez, is ABC News / Good
Morning America paid directly from the National Democratic
Party coffers? Wah wah wah, the Suprime Court has ruined the
country. Well, hell folks - if it's so damn bad then get out
your muskets - isn't that just what the Right To Bear Arms
clause is all about? [oops, perhaps
the muskets are being dusted
off!]

And what's the deal with people saying
their vote doesn't count? Doesn't this year show that not only
should every person vote but that they need to actually pay
attention and do it properly? Think before you get to the
polling place, examine all the candidates and their positions
fully, then - when you get there - make sure you understand
the process for casting your vote properly. Don't whine about
it later when you screw up. Take some personal responsability
for your own actions. Your vote does count (Though perhaps it
counts more in some
places than in others. Will we see a mass move of
politically-inclined people to Wyoming in
2004?)

And be careful, the coffee's hot like
it's supposed to
be.
