For
many years now there has been a lot of talk predicting the end of the
world -- in many respects because of the end of the Myan Calendar's
being approximately 21 Dec 2012. Recently, However, renowned scholars
from respected archeological institutions exhaustively studied the
MesoAmerican Myan calendar stone carvings and came to a consensus
opinion that the reason for the end's appearing to be in 2012 is
simply that the guy doing the carving ran out of stone. "The
Wizard will see you now".

If
the aerator on your faucet gets loose or a little clogged, then it
can send a little stream of water up from the aerator. If the faucet
is solid-bodied, then that water drips harmlessly into the basin. If
the faucet is hollow-bodied, then that water can enter to faucet
shell. If the shell is well sealed on the bottom, then the water
builds up inside the shell -- likely undetected. If it is not sealed,
then the water likely leaks out into the under-cabinet storage space
where it dampens everything in sight until it is discovered later
when searching for something stored there. Rather than replace the
faucet with a new one, our honest plumber tightened the aerator and
we again have a dry storage space. Moral: always tighten the aerator
or have solid-body faucets.

Laws 'n Stuff - -
Back when my ISP's limit on
the size of my E-Mailbox was 10mB, I used to have to empty it every
few days.
Several years ago they expanded it to 100mB, and I
breathed a sigh of relief.
But things are now catching up, and
lately I get the fateful warning about every 10-days. Which brings to
mind several laws - - -
= Moore's Law states that the processing
capacity of computer circuits doubles every 2 years.
= Parkinson's
Law states that work expands to fill the time available.
There are
some other laws that seem to not as yet be attributed to any noted
personages ...
.- Freeway usage expands to use all available
lanes; if you build it, then they will come to use it.
.- Message
sizes expand to fill all available storage space.
.- Most messages
on the InterNet are forwarded bits (pun UNintentional) of
questionable material.
.- The size of a message is
inversely proportional to the recipient's perception of its
usefulness.
Please have mercy. That is the major reason that this
stuff goes out once a month with HOT LINKS instead of attached and
embedded PDF, JPG, and MOV files.
If you are about a certain
age, then someone near and dear to you might enjoy the

DOWNEYITES
- Some recent happenings = -
The original All American market was
at the northwest corner of Dolan and Firestone. It burned on
NewYear's Day one year, and they vowed to never again close on
NewYear's Day.
In due time they rebuilt and eventually relocated
to the southeast corner of Rives and Firestone -- and were later
bought by Albertsons.
The old location and building became the All
American Home Center, which eventually expanded into MUCH larger
quarters on the far western edge of the City on Firestone.
Recently it went out of business and was completely torn down. The
area is now level.
A similar fate has befallen the old Telephone
building on 2nd St and another of it's offices on Firestone just east
of the HighSchool.

of the problems we face today are there because the people who

There are 2 ways to avoid armed conflict ...
1.-
to have nothing that anybody else wants
2.- to have such a
strong defense that no one will try to take it away.
Voting
for those who put on a good performance in a debate or speech would
be a great idea if performing in the office which they were seeking
actually involved any of these qualities. The bomb makers don't
really care how eloquent our leaders are; they only fear failure; for
our security we need to ensure that they do not succeed. Currently we
seem to be electing for crane-operator positions based on candidates'
performances as dancers.

Last
week my neighbor a few houses away became so inebriated at a
pre-holiday party that he took a cab home. At the DUI checkpoint they
just waved the cab through. But now he can't figure out what to do
with the cab in his garage.

Ever
since the Winter Soltice, we've been having a great deal of
difficulty accomplishing many tasks on the InterNet.
Sometimes
10-sec after the successful sending of an E-Mail, the next send will
fail, but 10-sec later it will succeed. Same is true for receiving
E-Mail and for accessing WebSites. Have tried rebooting the DSL modem
and the router but the problem persists. Gotta figure that all the
equipment here is OK and properly parameterized or else it would
NEVER work.The intermittent nature has me puzzled.
Q.
Has anybody else experienced any similar problems lately??
Wishing

and Happy New Year to all, as see our card
