My Day “Off”
March 18th, 2011 . by CarySlept in – until 0700 – I should have been up at 0630, for Cinnamon’s insulin shot with her food. Puttered around so far, filling time before 0930 haircut. And boy, do I need a haircut. I’m starting to look like a long-haired hippie freak. After that, I’ve got five cabinets to assemble and finish – all wall cabinets, but one is a corner cabinet. Neat trick, corner cabinets – if one thing is not perfectly square, then the whole cabinet looks wrong. And that includes the wall itself. I’ve got some adjustment designed into it, but the cabinets are frameless, which takes away a lot of the give and take.
For those of you within the panic zone that is the Misnforming Silly Media, here’s a link to some information that you should find comforting: A Nuclear Primer. Caution – he was a sailor, so his language is a little – uhm, saltier – than what I allow on this site. (tip of the hat to Larry for the link to the Primer.)
Chat ya later…
Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, don’t buy or breed cats or dogs while homeless pets die (spay, neuter & adopt a pet, one by one, until there are none), Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Here’s a bit more perspective on Japan, with a little less spice:

Excellent link. Thanks, Larry.
And please accept my apologies for not crediting you in the first place.
Thanks Cary and Larry for addressing the nuke issue. We need to be truly educated about ALL the dangers involved with this stuff.
No energy comes without a cost.
Indeed not. Even the “green” energy that is being pushed by the progressives is more expensive and less powerful than what we currently have.
Corn, turned into ethanol, gives lower mileage at a higher cost.
Electricity from solar panels? Great – are you going to pay for them? Because, you know, I can’t afford them. I would love to have panels and a windmill to generate my power needs. Heck, here in Phoenix solar panels would chop my summer energy needs to a THIRD of what they are now. That translates to saving $200+ per month on my electric bill – but I can’t pony up the 6 to 7.5K it would cost to install the panels on the house.
Green? Yeah, that’s what it takes. And the returns diminish too quickly to recoup the costs.
