what it is like for the unemployed...

This article provides a perspective to dwell on... of being thrust into te job market at 59... seems that part of the problem with the current trend of job losses is that quite a few people are out the door long before they are ready to retire. I was lucky in that I could retire before the axe fell.

something wrong in the math....

"Wine said the estimate of the proportion of gushing oil being collected is based on the government's contention that the containment cap is collecting 466,200 gallons of oil of the roughly 604,800 to 1,260,000 it believes is coming out daily.
Cutting the riser likely increased the flow of oil by 20 percent from the 504,000 to 1,050,000 gallons the government contends was coming out previously, Wine said."


said Robert Wine spokesman for BP

new cap...

BP is going to change out the cap next month... will this be another disaster by BP??

playing the numbers...

IIndia is thinking of 'playing the numbers; and by doing so increasing the number of people living in poverty by 100 million.

Hey, they are learning the American Way... when the facts don't fit reality, just play the numbers. That is why when it comes to inflation they (the United States) doesn't include the cost of energy or food.

7 Questions for Defenders of Israel's Inhumane Siege of Gaza | World | AlterNet

I doubt that Israel's talking heads can answer these questions without falling back to their Zionist diatribe. The World wants answers, not more propaganda..

Is this the real reason Gaza is being suppresed by Israel?

Read these articles....

Google 'gas reserves in gaza' and see what appears... Is there any truth to this? Why did Sharon kill a pro[osal by BG (British Gas) to suply Israel with gas from Gaza? Why buy it when you can sieze it?

today

Got some pictures to share as soon as I upload. My new 'garage sale' bike (A Specialized Rockhopper Comp) is taking shape.. I'll assemble it, tune it, ride it, then later take it apart again, and paint it the brightest yellow I can find. Pictures will document the progress. (Like I really need another bike). Later I'll put some sweat into the other 'garage sale' bike, a Jamis Dakota...

today along cedros avenue...

Had an interesting walk along Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach.....this metal peacock looked interesting..

I'll post more later....

found on Cedros...

This elegant cruiser was for sale....$790....

another look...

a classic look but a hefty price....

so we have the rich wanting to govern....

If you like Wall Street, you'll love Meg Whitman.... and if you want a failed CEO you can vote for Carli Fiorino... the oligarchs have their candidates.... let's see if they can buy the office... unfortunately we have a dumb electorate... and for Carli to call conservative Tom Campbell a liberal and to ignore McClintock when he call Meg another Swartzenneger. I'm afraid the dumb electorate will elect these people and the state will be doomed.
