Amazing Machine

Amazing Machine: The human heart is an amazing machine.
It beats about 100,000 times a day on average.
It does so with enough power to pump five quarts of blood every minute.

For all the shade tree mechanics left out there that's truly amazing because human blood is about the same consistency of 40weight oil and we all know it takes a pretty strong oil pump to pump oil throughout a 400cc small block engine. Just think the human heart does the same thing and the average adult human is a bit bigger than 400cc's too!

Vacation ...

The Confused Dictionary defines VACATION:

Vacation starts when Dad says, "I know a short cut."

Reality Check Please

While talking on the phone, whether it be on a cell phone or a stationary phone, may seem like a commonplace occurrence - and a pain in the ass - in reality more than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good: You give the "Birds and Bees" talk to your daughter ...

The Bad: she keeps interrupting ...

The Ugly: with CORRECTIONS!

All in good time ...

In the United States, you can't keep an eye on the clock when you go to mail a letter.

The clocks have been removed from 37,000 post offices as part of a "retail standardization program." The idea is that it will give all the post office's public service areas a uniform look. Stephen Seewoester, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service in Dallas, Texas, said the agency wants its customers to focus on the service, not the clock.

"I guess they think people don't have watches, " retorted Leonard Berry, a customer service expert at Texas A&M University.

If it was me I'd be wanting them to focus on anything BUT the service.
But, hey, it's the government - no wait they're not part of the government anymore!
Ahemm, it's just another case of stupid herding mentality then and doing anything but actually fixing the "problem".

Big Surprise

Olga Mauriello, who lives in a town near Naples, Italy, was peeling potatoes when she realized one of the spuds wasn't a potato at all. It was a hand grenade from the Second World War. Mauriello had had the potatoes soaking in water and wasn't expecting to find what she did.
"If I hadn't felt its weight, I wouldn't even have realized that it was a bomb," Mrs., Mauriello said.
She called neighbors who then called the police. The police took care of safely detonating the grenade in a park.

It's believed the potatoes - and the antique grenade - originated in France.

Talk about a wee bit of something exciting for dinner!

Brave Daughter

Dayna Lineberger was driving when she started to feel faint. Bothered by ulcerative colitis, she knew she and to get something to eat, but before she could pull into a restaurant, she passed out.
Her 11-year-old daughter, sitting in the back seat of the car, leaned forward and grabbed the steering wheel, swerving to miss hitting a car. She wasn't quite fast enough to avoid a tree, but it caused the car to stop, and no one was hurt from the impact.
The Charlotte, North Carolina, youngster said she "screamed like crazy" during the ordeal, but was happy to help prevent what could have been a serious accident.

Way to go girl!

Butterflies speak to my soul ...

Have you ever wondered at the beauty of nature and saw the butterfly in flight?

Down an open road.

Down a open road. Driving down an open road is part of the American Dream. Songs and stories have been written about it. Hell, our entire culture is built around it. So where have all the open roads gone to and when did they leave?

There is even a 'subdivision' and a new elementary school being built right next to my land on the one side that is not protected by its 'historical designation' and already we have traffic and the thing ain't even broke ground yet!

Time to move on over the next hill ...

P-hew

Thanks folks, and I hope we passed the audition.

Whew, do you how many bad actors there are out there? I do, I saw them all today at the cattle call for new performers at the Renaissance Faire! Save me from bad actors!

No really the auditions went smoothly (despite the bad acting), and we had some we selected to join the cast ... they don't know it yet - we got to make them sweat it out for a few days.

Now if the 'army' working on my new doublet will get it finished in time I will be a 'happy camper' indeed.

Sorry I missed yesterday.

I missed posting anything at all yesterday, bummer. I do have a good reason, though.
I spent much of the day seeing it that a severely mentally ill person was committed to the lock-down ward of the asylum near where they are living.
This person was dangerous to everybody but especially females and having someone committed takes a lot of work even just to hold them until their permanent commitment is finalized.
The judge had no problem with this one however and stripped them of their rights in the preliminary hearing.
Now I can concentrate on more pleasant matters.
