Pretty song, Bretty. Hang around and you'll see pictures of dragonflies this summer.

Boy, I can't wait to watch this week's "LOST" this weekend so I don't have to keep skipping all the spoilers!

Never watched it, never hope to!

Awww!!!! It's got lots of buff guys who either have their shirts wide open or aren't wearing any at all!  Think of all the eye candy you're missing!

(OK, Jorge Garcia keeps covered, thankfully.  But there was that scene with Henry Ian Cusick after HIC had all his clothes blown off in an explosion...  ;D )

We had spaghetti for dinner at our house two times last week!

And we're having spaghetti for dinner at our house tonight!

The doggies have trouble figuring out spaghetti.  They have trouble puckering their lips so they can slurp it.

dR Jose was kind enough to post a story about a new PC virus...and taking, yet again, another opportunity to express his delight that he has a MAC.

I'm forced to point out, however, that in all the years I've posted to this forum, I've had NOWHERE near the kinds of problems that our MAC users have posted about.

So....there it is.

And my Windows PC automatically downloads critical patches, so I don't have to go looking for them :)

Hmmm...I think I need to check my computer when I get home tonight. ::)

Hope you have time for "Beaches" as well DR RLP.

No but he's going to watch home-grown dvds of each successive leading lady in BLOOD BROTHER, starting with Barbara Dickson, working his way through Kiki Dee, Stephanie Lawrence, Deliah Hannah, Petula Clark, Helen Reddy and Carole King. . . ;)


Kiki Dee -- :D

Hey, that's who der B and I saw when we saw Blood Brothers in London.

Boring show, I thought.

Obama Hopeful Congress Will Pass Stimulus Plan Despite GOP Resistance

Quote

...
Many Republican lawmakers say the $825 billion package is too costly, and that too much of the spending is for long-range projects that won't aid the economy quickly.
…
Democrats tried to mitigate the impact of a Congressional Budget Office study that questioned administration claims that the money could be spent fast enough to reduce joblessness quickly.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said there was "significant discussion about the CBO numbers."

He said Obama's budget director, Peter Orszag, who recently headed the CBO, told participants that the study analyzed only 40 percent of the pending stimulus bill and that Orszag "would guarantee that at least 75 percent of the bill would go directly into the economy within the first 18 months."
...


Let's look at this for a moment:

If we are going to go burden our children with long-tern debt for this program, than we should try to spend the funds on long-term infrastructure improvements from which our children will benefit.

Funding "shovel-ready" projects will rapidly move lots of bucks into material procurement and labor, without waiting for a lengthy design process.

Even "shovel-ready" projects have performance schedules that last for 3-7years (and some, like mass transit, even longer). A project that spends 75% of its funding in 18 mos is probably a 24-30 month program - so forget about bridges, dams, highways, power-grids, non-fossil fuel power plants, power-grid improvements, mass transit, etc.

In other words, projects that spend most of the funds in a short up-front burst are NOT the projects we want.

However, once long-term infrastructure programs have guaranteed funding, they will immediately kick off private enterprise projects that will ride their coat-tails. (New commercial and residential centers, etc.)

Neither side is thinking clearly!

der Brucer


The Republicans managed, in the course of 8 years, to get us into this fiscal mess.  Whether anyone is capable of thinking clearly or not has yet to be proven.  But I sincerely hope we don't actually need more commercial/residential development.  For pity's sake, renovate and restore that which already exists and stop ruining the land with developments that will wither and die in a decade.

I agree with infrastructure improvements, but it has been a democratic congress for the past two years, so it isn't just the Republicans who caused the problem, it's all of them

More seriously, re: keeping track of television programs

There are a lot of shows on television that are wildly popular which, for one reason or another, I have never watched.  Seinfeld was one of them, Friends another.  I've never watched an episode of 24, although der Brucer has recently discovered the show.

All the same, I try to have some kind of awareness of what these shows are about, if simply so that I don't look like some kind of dork when someone else I know professes a love of a show.  I personally would be very uncomfortable condemning a show I've never watched - it would make me feel as if I were condemning anyone who was a fan, and that would be unseemly.  Yes, I've slipped up on this stance on occasion.  I'm not comfortable with that.

When it comes to the particular, yes, I do watch Lost, or try to.  There are times, like last Wednesday, when I end up too tired, and fall asleep.  What do I do in cases like this?

I CHEAT!

You heard it here first, kids.  I actually seek out the spoilers, in order to find out what has happened, and get a general idea on how to keep up.  When I get the chance to actually watch the show, sure, I know what's going to happen in general, but I figure this gives me the chance to watch the actors and listen to the dialogue more closely.

It's not a solution that would work for everyone.  But it sure works for me.

(Politely bows to the audience, and steps down from the soap box.)

I moved it to a small aquarium. They eat fish. They are now being fed bloodworms. I like dragonflies, but I don't want them to eat the fish. The game warden would not be pleased.

It is an aquatic insect at this nymph stage in its life. It is actually in a couple of inches of water in that picture. It was in the skimmer.
