Stimulus, Really?

Does anyone really understand what the C- students in Washington are doing?…I know I sure as hell don’t…I watched the proposal double in size over a two to three week period…This allows for the politicians to sneak in their pork to satisfy the campaign donors in the shadows…I have done a fairly thorough search of the web and cannot find the official document…I am reminded of the smell that the Obamacare bill gave off…“We [need] to pass the bill in order to find out what [is] in it.” (Pelosi)…Time will tell.

For those of you in the dark ages, times they have changed…Initially when we moved into this house, we had cable TV installed…This was fine for over a decade…Since it also provided the Internet access in the house, I frequently partook in the infamous technical support line…For those that may not know me, I worked in that capacity for a couple of decades…This causes me to have overly high standards…Our local cable company is notorious for hiring folks that are lucky to turn on their work computer…In a fit of rage after several years, I thumbed my nose at cable and made the leap to satellite (To be accurate, we had C-band satellite in Texas years before) Once installed, it was smooth sailing for a few years…I was aware of Netflix and the like but, only used them to augment what satellite provided…A few years ago with internet speeds increasing, I toyed with the idea of “cutting the cable”…Technically this means to stream video via your internet connection…There are those of you that know this whole process…You can move on…Those that need more info, let me know.

Your glorious US Postal System at work…I ordered an item, doesnt matter what it is, and this is the progress it has made after a little more than two days…And folks wonder why nobody mails anything anymore…Actually, no we dont…The Posatl system is the dinosaur of the letter/parcel moving world…Yet our vaunted government insists on propping it up over and over again…As I write this, they are projecting that I will have to wait another three days…I live in Nebraska, I could drive round trip faster.
