Time Out for OT – Vol 11

Whoa.

I think it was a year ago that I signed up for this site, and wrote an article having to do with Halloween.

It took me the longest time to figure out how to post an image when I wrote an article.

Whoa.

This is some freaky merde.

HAPPY HAUNTING

B’ito, I know that you listen to NPR, and we have listened to it while up in Show Low, because it’s either the radio or watching FOX, and we got very burned out on FOX that was broadcast from the valley, so much so, that we never watch FOX anymore.

We stopped watching ‘Bones’ and ‘House’ and even stopped watching their NFL show, because after 2 weeks of nothing other than FOX, we said enough.

While up in Show Low and when we could dial in NPR, it was coming from Flagstaff, and there was very little news, but people wanting to sell cattle and cars or some such shit, and it was really hicksville, but they did play classical music and jazz in between.

I have no idea who Juan Williams is and I think that I’m grateful.

We have stopped watching all news, except for the weather report, and we do watch PBS a lot, but not the news.

We love Masterpiece Theater, and really loved the newest Wallander, and we like all their cooking shows, travel shows, and Antique Roadshow and other programs that PBS airs.
But we never watch news even from PBS.

We don’t do cable or satellite, so we get 4 PBS stations using the HDTV box thing and we watch it all more so than anything else.

But we stopped watching the “news” except for the weather reports, and really, the weather people get it more wrong than right, but then I did an article on here months ago and learned a lot.

It’s very hard to predict weather as they can only predict it in ten minute time frames.

Now, I forget why I have even written what I’ve written, and I am too lazy to scroll back up and see what it was I was replying to!

The husband is bringing out the guitars, and we’ve been learning more songs and having a blast, even though our neighbors might not think so!

We’re into learning more Stones from the Martin Scorsese documentary about them.

It’s only 2 chords –

Intriguing?

That might be the correct word, but we found Montana beautiful.

We would never want to live there, due to the winters, because we are desert-rats, but Montana is incredibly beautiful.

We drove from Yellowstone into Montana, and my husband is a fisherman, and the fly-fishing to Bozeman and the scenery is breathtaking.

Glacier National Park – well, we can definitely understand the reason that that is your favorite place to hike, even though I do wonder at your bravery in hiking alone and your seemingly lack of fear of bears.

We travel a LOT, and every state has beauty, but Montana truly is something with all the reservations, and lazy drinking laws while driving, and casinos everywhere.

Grew up in Michigan and the winters were rough, but how you live in Montana in the winter – well, yes, that is intriguing.

Rupert Murdoch is also going after broadcast TV, or was, since that seems to have died now.

But didn’t you see the ads on your TV asking congress to keep broadcast TV free last year?

If Murdoch had his way, we’d have to pay for online “news” and broadcast TV, and then you must know, right? That the BBC is in danger due to Murdoch and PM Cameron in the UK?

The Brits are outraged and they knew Murdoch before we did and we need Marion to write about that, but it appears that Murdoch is winning in the UK and that is not going to bode well for any of us.

What it is going to mean here, and not all that far in the future, is that people who do not buy cable or satellite, but have them HD boxes or televisions that can get HDTV, is that we are all going to have to pay to watch television.

The Brits are outraged, and they warned us about Murdoch as did the Australians, because Murdoch is Australian, but it was with the help of Newt Gingrich that Murdoch became an American citizen way back then, and Murdoch has 4 passports – Australian, United Kingdom, American and Saudi Arabian.

There’s a fight now with 2 cable companies – The Dish Network and Cablevision – and they are no longer showing FOX stations, except for FOX news – because it would require the companies to double their rates to show FOX stations.

Murdoch, imho, is evil, and if he ever gets to the point, and he might, that we have to pay to watch broadcast TV, well, we’ll find something else to do.

We can always get movies and TV series from the library, and when it comes to sports, well, hopefully Murdoch’s fingers don’t reach the airwaves aka radio.

Did anyone write about Justice Thomas wife Ginny – and there’s a joke about that name amongst the gay people I know, but – WTF?

Ginny wants an apology for her husband’s harassment against Anita Hill?

And then Ginny says that she was offering Ms. Hill an olive branch, while at the same time, calling her a liar?

The right-wing is raging about Ms. Hill turning it over to security at Brandeis University and then them turning it over to the FBI, but any sane person, and most important, is any woman that has been sexually harassed, and threatened, Ms. Hill did exactly the correct thing.

Can you imagine the death threats and harassment that Ms. Hill tolerated during the hearings, and then 19 years later, the man that came onto you, his wife leaves a message, asking you – the victim – to apologize for lying – and then frames it as an olive branch for peace?

Anita Hill is being harassed again, and thrown back into the limelight again, and it is wrong.

Thomas sexually harassed other women, and they were not allowed to come forward during the hearing.

Anita Hill had received death threats and was harassed, but she went beyond it and became a private citizen and it was all forgotten, until Ginny called her.

There’s something very wrong with this picture.

B’ito!

It’s John Lennon’s Birthday and also, his son’s – Sean Lennon’s!

John would be 70 but Sean is 35 years old and so don’t you think that we should do a music thread dedicated to John Lennon?

IMAGINE what that’d be like on a Saturday night!

Time Out for OT – Vol 10

Feckin aye and happy birthday to me.

Went to sit out on our patio, since it’s pleasant and we have a little dog and the minute we opened the door, and the dog ran out, we heard the rattler.

We screamed at the dog and thank God, he ran back into the house and then we saw the curled snake with it’s tail raised and rattling and we’ve lived here 13 years and have only seen one other diamondback, but it was a baby.

This sucker was at least 5 feet long and we called a neighbor that we know who owns guns and is a hunter, but he’s off hunting.

Okay, I am a liberal, but own 2 guns – a .22 and shotgun – and then my husband owns a hunting rifle, so anyway, my husband got down my .22 and he shot three shots at the sucker, but it got away.

LOL

I was freaking and was thinking that someone might call the sheriff because we discharged a firearm, but really a .22 was enough to scare a snake, but made less noise than a firecracker.

And another funny thing, was that while my husband was running for the gun, I was running for the camera!

It’s not a good thing that the snake got away, and believe me, I actually love snakes and am not afraid of them at all, but when it comes to rattle snakes and diamondbacks, they scare the hell out of me.

And a person can tell the difference.

When you hear that rattle, you know it’s not a good thing.

I need to pop open a beer and brag!

LOL

B’ito!

Happy birthday to Cher and 29th birthday to me, even though my b’day isn’t until the 28th, but close enough to party!

LOL

As for the politics – I am so tired of it all, and yeah, I’ve said that before.

Here’s where my husband and I are, living in Arizona that is going to go so very bat-shit-crazy-right and besides voting for Dems, who will lose, but as long as they do not take our social security and medicare away, we are beyond caring.

And another thing – here’s what really pisses me off – we have loyally given money to the DNC, but no more, because the DNC refuses to give money to our Dems in AZ because they are conceding the loss.

Never again will we give money to the DNC since they refuse to help the Democrats in AZ.

Happy 29th B’day to me!!!

LMAO

And I am still chaste after dabbling with witchcraft and eating lunch at a witch’s altar, and as for the blood stains?

FUDGE

I’d like to use another word that starts with F and ends in CK and it’s not firetruck!

But, the Arizona Republic last Sunday did an entire section about Glenn Beck and my gosh, why anyone pays attention to Glenn Beck and his rodeo clown show, but there you have it and this is what we’ve been reduced to.

Oh God, we are in trouble as a country, are we not?

And then last night, we were able to pick up PBS News Hour and they did a segment on Sarah Palin, as though Sarah Palin is worthy and competent to run for President in 2012.

Goddammit.

Is this what our country has come to?

I think, sadly, YES.

Look at Arizona alone, whereby the bellwether issue is immigration.

While in Fool Hollow in Show Low, we met 2 older men, and 2 very different men, and this is exactly what I love about traveling.

They were both Republicans, and yet while fishing whereby there was no anger, they got it about it all, yet, sadly, they are still Republicans.

They both got the immigration thing, and the Dream Act, and neither my husband nor I brought it up nor did we share our opinions, but we listened to them and agreed with them by simply nodding our heads.

They brought up the destruction of the middle class, and had 2 different points of view, and it was enlightening to witness 2 older men, two Republicans, stating their beliefs in such a calm fashion, and their views on politics.

One of the men was a biblical scholar who had lived the majority of his life in Southern Mexico, and the other was a retiree from CAP and had lived in Show Low for most of his life, but moved down to Tucson once his kids decided to go college there.

This is exactly why my husband and I love to travel, whether it’s here in the states or abroad.

It’s the people we meet, and yeah sure, it’s the sites we see, but it really is the people we meet.

We all really do have more in common than not regardless of the country or state.

We got our power back around noon!

We were shocked that they were working on a holiday weekend.

I’ve got to tell you a about an anger management lapse when it comes to me and one of our neighbors and I’ll be shocked if we ever hear from that guy again.

Damn, I really messed up, and my husband is very easy going, and he always supports me, but he also tells me to just let it go, and I’m not really very good at that.

There’s the neighbor that works for the state and we walk with him and his dogs on Saturdays and Mondays, and he’s not a bad guy but he’s irritating.

He’s one of them “End Of Times” born again Christians and I have always been fairly good at ignoring his bullshit, until recently.

It was when the mosque in New York came up that I blew and lost my temper big time, and God bless my husband for remaining quiet, even though he agreed with me, but dr’graz is far more diplomatic and I respect that.

Dean listens to Christian radio all day long, and he can quote the bible better than anyone I’ve ever known.

I do not care about the topic of conversation, Dean can quote the bible and tell us that we are in the “End of Times.”

He’s supposedly a Democrat and hates Brewer for the SB1070, and believing that she is going to hell for that.

He now believes that Obama is a Muslim, and it’s following the Book of Revelations and we’re near the “End Of Times.”

And the mosque in New York, well, this is it, and in the bible for the “End of Times”.

I blew, and it wasn’t pretty, but I don’t regret it.

Dean came so very close, and I mean very close to telling me that I would be condemned to hell forever, and then I shot back “Judge not, lest ye be judged” and all I can say is that it did not end well.

LMAO

I guess we lost a ‘friend’ and neither of us is worried about that, but it is sad.

And I do regret my outburst.

B’ito!

I read all of VOX Populi from last night, and I admit to being guilty as charged in saying there is no difference between the Dems and Repigs, but when I say that, I don’t mean it in the way that it’s perceived.

What I mean is that they are all bought off by lobbyists and big money eventually, and most of our representatives in Washington DC are very wealthy people and have no idea of the struggles everyday Americans face.

Did that make sense?

I think that we do have some people that get it, Grayson and Franken come to mind at the moment – and you have Gabby down by you, but where I live, our Rep is Republican and a rich bastard to begin with.

And we have our Sheriff Joe in Pinal County – Babeu – and this guy is younger and just as camera hungry, headline grabbing as Joe, and to make it worse, one of his relatives won the Repig primary for Justice of the Peace – Shaun Babeu – and if he wins, and he probably will, it will not bode well for Pinal County and abuse of power.

My gosh, Arizona politics has always been out there but it’s going to get worse.

» Posted By javaz On September 4, 2010 @ 3:27 pm

This is a good commentary by Eugene Robinson that relates to VOX POPULI from last night –

According to polls, Americans are in a mood to hold their breath until they turn blue. Voters appear to be so fed up with the Democrats that they’re ready to toss them out in favor of the Republicans — for whom, according to those same polls, the nation has even greater contempt. This isn’t an “electoral wave,” it’s a temper tantrum.

It’s bad enough that the Democratic Party’s “favorable” rating has fallen to an abysmal 33 percent, according to a recent NBC-Wall Street Journal poll. It’s worse that the Republican Party’s favorability has plunged to just 24 percent. But incredibly, according to Gallup, registered voters say they intend to vote for Republicans over Democrats by an astounding 10-point margin. Respected analysts reckon that the GOP has a chance of gaining 45 to 60 seats in the House, which would bring Minority Leader John Boehner into the speaker’s office.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/02/AR2010090203992.html?nav=emailpage

Watched the local Horizon Show last night on ASU’s PBS station and they discussed the debate between Brewer and Goddard and the debate means nothing at all to Brewer’s supporters.

In fact, the journalists concluded that Brewer’s “faux pas” endeared her more to her supporters for NOT being a typical politician.

The Brewer supporters believe that the “liberals” and “liberal media” are ‘picking’ on Brewer and it was the consensus of the panel that all the hoopla by the left concerning Brewer is making Brewer supporters dig their heels in more in supporting her.

They all agreed that if the roles were reversed and had it been a Democratic woman that the Republican conversation would have an entirely different tone.

Also, it was mentioned that the DNC is not supporting Goddard in anyway because they believe he will lose and do not want to waste the money in Arizona to support Democratic candidates.
Goddard has roughly 1 million dollars to campaign and is 19 points behind Brewer in the polls.

Have to make this quick as SRP is working today and starting to replace poles.
On the way back from our walk, we stopped and talked to them and they warned us that our power was going off today at 8:00 this morning and they couldn’t tell us how long it would be off and sorry for any inconvenience.

It was 111 yesterday and today is slated for 110, so we are hoping our very kind Democratic neighbors invite us over to use their pool!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

This latest fight with the DOJ has cost Maricopa County hundreds of million dollars, yet Sheriff Joe is more popular than ever!

I’ve told you this before SB1070, but Joe’s ratings dipped really low, but since SB1070, he’s more popular than ever.

» Posted By javaz On August 25, 2010 @ 4:43 pm

Does anyone else, particularly Arizonans, remember Evan Mecham?

You know, he was the Republican governor that used the word “pickaninny”?
That was a term of endearment, dontcha know.

And when he met with Asians for something he said that their “eyes grew round”?

That governor was a nutcase and was impeached.
He inspired more people to register to vote and to actually vote in the state in history of the state.

Evan Mecham was impeached back then, but if he were a candidate or governor today, he’d be massively popular and most likely win the Republican bid to run for President.

Evan Mecham was a Tea Party candidate that was way ahead of his time.

My, how times change.

» Posted By javaz On August 25, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

B’ito!

Are there any other Arizonans as depressed as I am today?

Besides Ben Quayle winning, but then again the other 9 Republicans running against him did not have the money and could not compete with Quayle’s –

“Obama is the worst president in history and it’s time for Quayle to go to Washington and kick the hell out of it and stop the drug cartels and tax cartels and blah, blah, blah.”
(what the heck is a tax cartel?)

If he’s the best and the brightest for the GOP in Arizona, we are in BIG trouble.

To make matters even worse, Romley lost and now Maricopa County has an unknown – Montgomery – that is a “friend of Joe’s” for county attorney general.

Romley’s hands were not clean to begin with, and I was always against him when he was in office – he is a Republican after all – but I was so hoping that he would win county attorney general because he’s never been a “friend to Joe.”

As far as I can find, Thomas is not conceding the race for State Attorney General, but Horne is just as bad when it comes to anti-Mexican, but the only saving grace from Horne is that he is an enemy of Joe’s.

Last Sunday, the Arizona Republic had a section about the loss of registered voters and both parties were hit hard, but the Democrats took the biggest hit from losing voters to Independent.

Do any other Arizonans here think that we are headed for extreme-right-wing-crazy in November?

That’s my prediction and with Montgomery being Maricopa County’s attorney general, Sheriff Joe will have a complete and total reign of terror.

I’m really pissed off at the DOJ because Joe had been subpoenaed for records, and of course, Joe refused, and instead of the DOJ acting on that, because that is against the law – the DOJ sends out a lawyer to meet with Joe’s lawyers and the DOJ is “hoping” for the best.

They do not know Joe.

Oh, and every candidate we voted for on the Democrat side – lost.

Has anyone else ever sent MONEY to a candidate or the DNC?

We did.

And man, do I regret that.

First off, it’s like any charity in that once you send them money, they never let off.

When Bush was running for his second term, we actually sent $200 of our hard earned cash to Kerry and man, what a disappointment.

My husband has a much more philosophical outlook on that mistake in that had Kerry won, we’d be rejoicing.

It just pisses me off.

And to make things better, was that when Edwards was in the race, we sent in our mail-in ballot for the primary, and then that all fell apart.

And that really pissed me off.

We did vote for Obama and will do that again – because Romney is a Mormon – and I am kidding about that – I hate that a person’s religion is an issue.

200 bucks was a lot of money and never again will we ever fall for that bullshit, but that does not stop them from calling us.

Should we start calling them Randbaggers?

BTW – the husband just finished reading Greenspan’s memoir and in it, Greenspan absolutely loved Clinton because he considered him so highly intelligent but he also said that he was disappointed in that no media told the real reason why we invaded Iraq – OIL.

It was all about OIL.

Guess that makes him a Liberal now!

GM is showing huge profits and are preparing to pay off the loan from the government, or the bail-out, and it never was a bail-out but was always a loan.

But why aren’t the corporations ‘bailed-out’ hiring back workers?

It’s because they are outsourcing the good paying jobs and by good paying jobs, I am talking engineers.

The wage that assembly workers make now has been drastically cut, as have their benefits.

Remember the lie about assembly workers making the equivalent of 75+ per hour?

That was never true, but the assembly worker that made 22 dollars per hour is now 12 per hour and that’s much reduced due to health benefits.

I’d like to take MY “country back” to the days when workers were given a living-wage, full health care coverage, and time off for vacations.

And now we’re facing reductions or restrictions when it comes to Social Security and Medicare and that should scare the pants off of Boomers and yet, we’ve all been so dumbed down.

Thank God for AARP, for all their flaws, they do fight for the system that has been in existence for years and that we all have paid into.

If the Tea Party people get their way – we are so going to lose our way of life when we get older.

Our 401Ks and retirement funds no longer exist.

The Tea Party folks believe that we should all rely on ‘charity’ to supplement our incomes in retirement.

And that brings me to another thing – Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and their pledge but that’s another story.

All I will say about that is that charity starts at home.

» Posted By javaz On August 19, 2010 @ 3:43 pm

B’ito – nothing depresses me more than the stories about Sheriff Joe and Andrew Thomas – not the articles so much, but the comments and opinion pieces online and in the newspapers.

I feel another article coming on – but have been holding off for several reasons.

I always want to believe that good wins over evil, but in reality we all know that that is not the case.

Look no further than the Iraq invasion, which was based on lies, and no one is held accountable for that.

Sheriff Joe’s corruption is much less compared to the Iraq lies, but the corruption is rampant in our government and, well, it just gets to me because I feel so powerless.

How do we combat FOX noise, which no longer tries to pretend to be ‘fair and balanced’ but is now RIGHT in your face and an arm of the Republican Party?
In fact, Murdoch is not even an arm anymore but leads the GOP.
So, Rush was right when he said he was the leader of the GOP.

8.3 million people watch FOX, and they believe every single thing from Murdoch’s NewsCorp and Clear Channel.

There has to be a way to combat this bullshit and yes, we have online sites such as the Planet and Media Matters et all, but we cannot compete with Murdoch.

The Arizona Republic has started something new – a fact-check section – but since they write the truth when it comes to Sheriff Joe, readers reject it and accuse the newspaper of being “liberal”.

Whereby the Trib in the valley used to be the ‘liberal’ voice somewhat, but they have gone totally right-wing.

I read the Internet and many sites and the anger from the left is out there, but we don’t have a voice when it comes to the media – the actual media.

I wish that I was smart enough to figure out how to get the truth out or at the very least, the opposition whereby the media wakes up and holds the liars accountable.

Brietbart didn’t suffer at all and neither did that kid that “exposed” ACORN, and instead Sherrod gets fired and the ACORN lie lives.

And I also read sites from the UK and the things that Marion has written here about their DHS is so true and the lies are just happening worldwide in industrialized nations.

I brought it up long ago and was attacked about being a conspiracy theorist, but the NWO does seem to have some teeth.

But there are more of us than them, so why can’t we figure out how to combat this?

» Posted By javaz On August 19, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

It’s not only China taking our jobs, Kes, but Mexico.

No one ever mentions the outsourcing to Mexico and to Mexican workers and I mean good paying jobs – engineering – to Mexico.

People are so outraged over illegals coming here and taking the low paying jobs such as dishwashers, car washers, landscapers, etc, that they ignore corporations sending good paying jobs to Mexico.

It’s been happening since the mid-70’s.
I saw firsthand the jobs going to Mexico when I worked for Chrysler.

And then more recently where my husband and I worked in the valley and the corporation not only brought India people in for us to train, but they brought in Mexicans for us to train to do our jobs.

The majority of drafting jobs is now done in Mexico and the engineering is done in India.

And to think the American workers were forced to train these people to do their jobs.

NAFTA.

I will never forgive Bill Clinton for NAFTA.

Everyone must have read by now that the number of Americans who ‘think’ has doubled in that they believe that President Obama is Muslim.

First off – the fact that the number of Americans who ‘think’ has doubled is quite the feat!
LOL

Gosh, who cares, but it seems that we Americans do care about religion – remember JFK and what was said about our first Catholic president?

And FOX is ramping it up now that they know they are winning the lies of war –

http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2010/08/19#0045

Is there no longer any protections when it comes to the media?
You know, like truth in advertising?

http://mediamatters.org/research/201008180025

And has anyone else noticed that watches regular broadcast TV that CBS now airs the 700 Club in the mornings?

And it’s not just in Arizona.
We saw CBS on our trip through Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana and it was on in those states as well.

Is there any hope in taking back the airwaves from the corporate media?

This is an O/T on your O/T –

Had an incredible monsoon last Tuesday that knocked out our power several times and we lost our phones!
(being on dial-up means we lost our Internet)

Got over 2 inches of rain in less than a half-hour and it was awesome.

Our roads washed out, as normal, during heavy rain and we were able to get out today and our phones are restored – for now.

Glad SRP is working on fixing the lines, but wonder if Qwest will ever do the same.

It really gets me that Arizona doesn’t matter to the DNC and yes I get it in that once the primary happens they should be funded.

Terry Goddard is really pissing me off, because he’s been such a goddamn wimp.

Maybe he’s waiting for after the primary, but aren’t you pissed off, too?

Our state has an Hispanic population of 30.8% – http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/04000.html – and if the Hispanics do not vote, then shame on them.

Huge storm coming in with the lightning and rain, so am logging off!

To anyone from Arizona and that follows Sheriff Joe – what a difference SB1070 makes.

Who cares that the majority of Hispanics Sheriff Joe rounds up are legal.

We here in AZ HATE and we hate brown skinned people, aka Mexicans.

If you are not white and Republican, then get the hell out of our state!

We want to change the constitution so that all babies – anchor babies – can be stopped from being American citizens.

The sins of the father, you know.

It’s in my bible that only legal white Christian people that come to America and have children, that only those infants are legal- Praise Jesus – because as everyone knows, Jesus was white with blond hair and blue eyes.

Gay?
That’s an abomination!

If we allow gay marriage, it is a smack on the face to all Christians.

President Obama is a Muslim Socialist, so we must blah, blah, blah.

I can’t do this anymore.

I think that Tucson might be more blue than red, but where we live – we’re sunk.

Better red than dead?

Oh, I forgot – even though we in Arizona HATE anyone that is not white, we are NOT racists, but YOU are if you accuse of that!

» Posted By javaz On August 17, 2010 @ 4:43 pm

Is Chris Deschene from Tucson?
We voted for him for Sec of State, because he is a Native American, a lawyer, a civil rights leader and Sheriff Joe hates him and arrested him for civil disobedience.

Is Ralph Bustamante from Tuscon and Ralph Varela and they are running for state reps and we voted for them because they are against SB1070 and pro-union.

We voted for Vince Rabago for Attorney General because he is a union organizer, against SB1070, and believes in the Clean Election Act.

» Posted By javaz On August 17, 2010 @ 4:25 pm

They are going to fine the taxpayers of Maricopa County for his refusal.

Does that make the taxpayers of Maricopa County angry at Joe?

NO.

They love Joe because they hate Mexicans and approve of the SB1070.

They are so blinded by their hate that they do not see that Joe is breaking the law.

I’m probably in the minority here, but I actually like Rod.
I know, I know.

But for some really strange reason I like the guy.

It’s from the time that he appeared on David Letterman and Letterman made fun of him before he came on and when he came on, and I don’t know why, but I like the guy.

LOL

I thought he handled himself well on Letterman and sure, he’s guilty of something, but I just like him.

Maybe it’s my Midwestern upbringing from Detroit.

I can’t explain it.

Does this make sense?

Our local electric company – SRP – sent out a mailer yesterday informing us that they would be working on improving the lines, transformers or whatever, and that we should expect power outages.

They cannot tell us when our power will go out or for how long and we are to expect this for the next 6-8 weeks and they are sorry for any inconvenience.

We saw the trucks in our area this morning on our walk and my husband thinks that they will cut off our power during the day when people are at work.

Really?
Cutting power in triple digit heat with the monsoon humidity?
The majority of people in AJ are retirees and home during the day!

Couldn’t they have done these much needed improvements during the winter months? Or even the early spring?

What a pain in the arse to have to reset all the clocks!
If they do cut our power for too long on miserable days, we’ll take the dog to Petsmart or go on air conditioned drives or even visit my in-laws in Tempe and Scottsdale!

Why couldn’t they have done this while we were gone?
(yes, it is all about me!)
LOL

AdLib – Doesn’t California have something else that gays can do when it comes to legal rights?

My brother that died last December – him and his partner in California got some sort of legal certificate, even though they did not marry, but when my brother died, his partner was legally considered his partner or heir or something.

It meant that everything that my brother owned automatically belonged to his partner as though they were married.

I wish every other state had that at least!
