 Jim  Ways to change a flat tire.
1) Curse it and walk away - which is pathetic.
2) Pray to God for help - which is stupid.
3) Ask someone else to change it - Great if you can do that.
4) Pay someone else to change it - Great if you have money.
5) Change the tire yourself - Which is Best, if you can do it.
The reason why I'm mentioning this is Jennifer was talking about praying for someone who needed help.
In all my experience, praying has never accomplished anything.
It makes the person praying feel better. Whoopee.
It's a lazy persons way out of actually offering any kind of real help.
If a person is really sincere, they'd get off their butts and do something.
Even asking someone else to help another person makes more sense than praying.
There's a little thing some people say after I've helped them, that I really hate to hear:
That they asked God for help, and he provided it.

 Mikey  Air is bad..... For it is never pure...
Hydrogen and Oxygen are bad. Thus water, the bulk of the air, and much of the rest of the environment is dangerous to us living creatures. Let's rid the world of it all. And now!!!
I am one very silly alter-ego...
But, that is what makes SAE a SAE.
I am still curious...
You call Okin?

 Ida  Life’s Reflections........written by me on this da
As I reflect the past years of my life, I look deep inside where my feelings hide. The wall has gone up once again in hopes to protect my heart from hurt. For I am so tired of picking my chin up out of the dirt. Many people have passed through my life. I felt my best when I was his wife. For he loved me deep within his heart. The love is still there even though we're apart. He is up in heaven ....You know. I see clearly now....My eyes all alogw. When love is lost and so hard to find, I feel as if I'm losing my mind. But they'll come a day when I shed that lonely tear. It'll be for love, not sadness....You hear. For then and only then will my circle of life be complete once more, as I cross the threshold of that new door.

 Jim  I’m at the very end phase of development
I installed what is probably the final version of the AC precooler. It works great. It was well thought out and went in smoothly. 4 screws, three line cuts, a touch of adjustment, and there ya go.
The added benefit was the air coming off of the AC unit was cool, like a swampcooler. Felt good on that hot roof.
We had a red sunset today. Dark red.
Thats probably what a martian sunset looks like.

 Jim  Now the news is saying the air outside is just fin
They are talking about the ozone levels. wow.
They're measuring ozone levels. Ozone is a bluish gas that lives mainly above us. It's atom is called O3, and it causes lung irratation and possible permanent damage. BTW-its created naturally when the air in our atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet light form the sun. That's is O3's good side. Its bad side is it sticks to just about anything.
People have ozone (electrostatic) generators in their houses to absorb cigarette smoke. What they don't know is that the same ozone thats mixes with the smoke in the air, absorbing it, and making it fall to the ground, is mixing with the airsacs in our lungs, and absorbing them too! This is not a good thing.
hmmm....me, I was concerned about the particulate matter. That's the stuff that's making me sneeze little dirt balls.

 Jim  FINALLY, with the visibility being 1/2 mile outsid
The news mentions the air quality!
I wonder how many kids got diagnosed for having asthma today!
I've got ash on my hood. Everything outside smells like brush fire.
After 5 days of smoke inhalation (and not from cigs), its mentioned that the air out may be harmful to your health. I know 5 people with uncommon headaches, pains. They are sneezing, coughing, and have watery eyes. Funny how cause and effect can be so hard to link up at times. This happens every year around this time. Good ol 4th of July.
Here's a prediction for you all.
The 1900's - Flourinated water, chlorinated water, water conditioning and finally bottled water.
The 2000's - Air Conditioning, oxygen bars, bottled oxygen, cars with piped in air.
Don't laugh, its not funny. With the awareness being focused on the inside air, being poisoned by cigarette smoke, not much attention is given to the outside air. Most people still think oxygen is flamable, and that carbon monoxide is visible. LOL.
Personally, from what I've read and heard
I think oxygen is a wonderful aid to healing. Every cell in the body needs it.
Wouldn't it be terrible if something we're breathing now caused sterility in our species 50 years from now.
Hmmm. Sounds like good Sci-Fi.
I do hope someone is out there keeping our species longevity in check.

 Mikey  Green Acres.. A classic
Oh, yes... Along with Petticoat Junction... I swear I drove through those towns in LA and the FL panhandle on the way here to Orlando.

 Jim  Sonny had to renew his Electricians card in Boulde
Green Acres...that's Boulder City. He had to renew it, and I'm not kidding about any of this: It's off of Wyoming Street, which is off of Nevada Highway, thats off of Utah Street, thats off of Arizona Street. Sonny renewed his license at Boulder City Community College. There is a parking lot underneath the college. The college consists of 5 rooms. The lunch room is a class room. Wow!
We ate outdoors off of Boulder Citys main street, which is Nevada Highway.
It was nice. None of the shops could take credit cards because of their power outage last Sunday (they are three miles from Hoover Dam, one could almost run an extension cord there). I love this little town, its so backwards.
The miscellaneous/antique/thrift store owner was hilarious. He'd tell you his trash can is selling for $40 because Grover Cleveland once used hit, and that someone else wants to buy it for $30. He had some amazingly fluctuating prices. He said he would have a lot more but he lost his car...hahaha.

 Jim  I loved Green Acres
I thought the show's major twist was how Mr Douglas, despite his willingness to be a son of the soil, never quite pulled off being a farmer. His logic failed. Lisa, on the other hand, mastered the country dwellers' insane logic with ease.
I've seen so many things in life like that.
Like pulling a tree down on Christmas. Bringing it inside the house! Hanging lights on it. Putting a blanket under it and a star on top of it. Putting presents under it. Then throwing it away. That qualifies as insane logic.
Painting Chicken Eggs and telling kids they're Rabbit Eggs!
Filling the eggs with Chocolate and throwing them in the yard!!! Then letting the little kids find and eat them. That's insane, isn't it. Rabbits don't have eggs!

 Mikey  I too know RObert is good for the loan..
But his story about the check sounds like the time he committed some sort of crime, was persued by the cops, arrested, convicted and served that 10 year sentence in the span of two days. Love it Robert (if you read this)... But then again, I am only a tiny dog's alter ego.

 Jim  Sonny, Becky and I cleaned out the condo’s garage.
Grabbed an old couch, and some other things and went to the Dump. The line took over an hour. We dumped the stuff inside building. At night, a crew comes along with bulldozers, picks the junk up and dumps it into a hole. Inside the hole is a large towable dumpster. A truck then tows the dumpster 40 miles north of town where it finally gets dumped. Then it gets plowed over with dirt by an enormous bulldozer.
The interesting part about this process is what happened to Las Vegas's previous dump.
It too was built way outside of Vegas. But now, however, it is prime property. The county put dirt over the biohazardous waste, trash and refuse. $500,000 homes have been built on top of the dump. Amazing isn't it. The homeowners may never know why it smells like death at times.
We ate at Chapala's tonight, Sonny's treat.
Their food is always GREAT! The spanish speaking waiter told us Caliente meant HOT. He said Nevada means Snow Country.
That means Caliente, Nevada means HOT SNOW COUNTRY. hmmm...
Las Vegas means The Meadows. Guess thats why the largest mall in the state is called The Meadows Mall. Its kind of an inside secret I guess.
Robert came over tonight.
I loaned him $85. He's good for it. Now, as far as that story about them sending the check in, and someone stole it and cashed it, and the bank can't produce a copy of the check before they get evicted, and they bank won't reimburse the money from the check, and the owners already have renters coming in on the 4th...well, that all sounds like huey to me...lol
