Re: LOL...no - 4 weeks ago

I'm unaware of any tsunami plans in So Cal. I think the vulnerability depends on the shape of the land and shoreline and underwater bottoms, etc. Whatever it is we don't have it. Just in case when you visit Disneyland just bring a thick and long rope to tie you and your family around a large tree-much like in the original movie "Hurricane".

Re: No lake near me BUT..... - 4 weeks ago

We don't have it and we've spent a lot of money over 14 years of having Pepper. I don't what what's covered under those policies and how much they pay on the Vet bills, etc. Not even sure what the premiums are either. My guess is that after 14 years of Vet bills it all comes out the same when you consider 14 years of premiums plus deductibles, etc. Good luck on your call on this.

Re: Guido thinks he's a cat.... - 4 weeks ago

He's quite the beauty. Don't let the groomer (you or the professional) shave his feathers-the strands below his underside. But yes he does need a good haircut with summer approaching given where he lives. Gorgeous dog. I bet he loves to swim in one of your lakes ? If ever near the beach he likely will love the waves too.

When you come to Disneyland are you afraid of a tsunami ? I would not worry,

I know where it is as I run Pepper nearby. Never been there. I'm sure it's very expensive.

Driving in it (wet fog) isn't so bad because you have the heater on. But it's also very dangerous driving. I know.

I like the news from all three simply because they are not "opinion" oriented but based on the important facts of the day. I've lost interest in opinion so called "news" like Fox New, MSNBC, CNN, etc. I like to do my own critical thinking.

you would love the book by James Clavell. It goes deep into the Japanese culture that is the foundation for the book and the television series. A great read.

Recommended movie-Conclave - 6 weeks ago

About the secret election of a new Pope in the Vatican. Fobert Fiennes plays a major priest in the process and this quotation from a scene is remarkable in its philosophy: “There is one sin I have come to fear above all others: certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance,” he says. “Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks

Was there once nothing or has there always been something ? Something cannot come from nothing, therefore if there were ever nothing there would be nothing now-right? Therefore because there is something there must always have been something-tight? But was there always "something"? Or did the universe come out of "nothing". Other options? What is the reason? Did every

Re: Actually IMO many Community Colleges are just that.... - 6 weeks ago

I do think community colleges do an excellent job of providing a learning environment for the trades. I was referring to High Schools-but alas-that was in the 50s. I do think parents share much of the blame on this subject. It seems that every parent(s) wants their child to be a Dr.,lawyer, engineer, etc. and forces the learning direction for that beginning in H.S. and often earlier. I can't t

your right - 6 weeks ago

about many students do not need or should not be in college. Unfortunately, many if not most high schools have dropped their classes in the trades like metal shop, wood shop, electronics, etc. Those were valuable courses when I was growing up and many a student began their careers in a trade based on what they learned in H.S.

This is an example of what my grandson does - 6 weeks ago

This from his own words: "Work with graduate students and fellow undergrads on researching black hole properties. Currently analyzing data from SDSS-V to perform reverberation mapping on an AGN with bright coronal emission lines in order to map the inner environments of the black hole." Now-you tell me where in that is anything political !

Re: Colleges ARE loaded with Brain Washers. My Step Son.... - 6 weeks ago

Well a lot of what you wrote (did you attend a University?) depends on the major that a student is in. If your major is in the physical sciences your not going to be so called "exploited". My grandson is in astro-physics at UCONN and believe me has no time for anything but studies and research. My wife studied high math including the theoritical courses in calculus. No time for anythin

Re: I like it. This "street" crap that has been brought in needs to go. - 6 weeks ago

The ship sailed when the audience changed from wanting to enjoy a sporting event to wanting to be "entertained". TV knows where the money is-i.e. ratings. Remember when the hardest and most violent hits were isolated as "part of the show" on MNF.

I agree Rami - 6 weeks ago

A concentrated effort to dumb down people by attacking our educational institutions. What we are left with are people who vote from emotion rather than analysis.

We have a Sirus radio in the kitchen. If I'm cleaning up after dinner, I will always turn on old time radio and listen to programs like "The Shadow", "Our Miss Brooks", "The Jack Benny Show", "Gunsmoke", "Mike Diamond Private Eye", "Boston Blackie",etc.

Do I love that ! Grew up watching those episodes along with listening to the Red Ryder and Hopalong on the radiol.. In a time when everything seemed so simple. Was there ever an episode that addressed why Fred McMurray's character was single?

I think his real talent was in song writing-especially during the protest years of Viet Nam. He took a lot from my all time favorite-Pete Seeger.

Re: LOL.... precisely..... - 8 weeks ago

Happy went on to have three litters the last one she gave birth to 15 pups-one after another after another after another. My wife is still pissed at me because I was at a Dodger game when Happy began and Barb had to all the work in a box we built that was in our tiny garage.

Re: LOL.... precisely..... - 8 weeks ago

One of my first springers ("Happy") I lost for an entire day while chuker hunting. She chases a wounded bird down a shale canyon and that was it -gone. I hiked all day looking. Around 5 pm a man in a jeep came by and said "Are you looking for your dog". He took me to an area where she was still smelling around looking for the down bird. I picked her up and all four paws we

I do not like Medicare Advantage - 2 months ago

We have Medicare plus one of the Blues for supplemental coverage. My wife had lung cancer diagnosis a few years back and we went to MD Anderson for surgical intervention along with post surgical care including medications. We have not had to pay a dime so far and we had free choice of the physicians treating her both locally and in Texas. Medical Advantage is a private insurance plan like an H
