Euro Scam

One thing I noticed happening with regular frequency during this whole Euro Zone crisis is how many times the leaders of the socialist nations have traveled back and forth across their borders. With no results to measure.

It reminds me of the useless high end consulting crowd (stateside) that also does this same trick by traveling to and fro to their client sites each week and spin the same useless yarn again but with a new shirt and tie on. After all its perception in the eyes of the beholder. Cannot wear the same shirt or bra you see?

As these clueless talking heads bob around the continent they get a chance to get away from their own manic or depressed or both populace - the Greeks are probably cheering and will continue to enjoy the entertainment they offer to the world as it yo yos out of control.

Now what they could really do is book an oversize handicap toilet (the likes of which you see in any McDonalds in the US) where you could gather at least seven or eight people and play cards all night. Then these dolts should be locked in such a chamber so they could do their biological deeds too and not leave till they came out with a clean plan (and other clean items) to put this mess behind.

They can pick a neutral turf (one flight in - one out) like say IOWA (they have supersize toilets esp for handicaps) and lock em up. Feed them the best the US has to offer - ANGUS DOUBLE CHEESE BURGERS with extra onions so the stink they raise will also hasten the decision making.

McDonald share holders will also cheer the proceedings and be rewarded by an extra dose of dividends as they sell rights to all the international TV crews to film the scene of a closed bathroom door for hours. Reality TV at its best. Flushing will be broadcast live to an estimated audience of 1 Billion idiots on the planet. Only McD can decide who to sell advertising spots to.

Perhaps there could be Vegas bets on who needs to use the john the most (with an unbiased observer giving the count after the match is over). Now there is a Job for a John!

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

 Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

 We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid.  The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access.  That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
