I wonder....   70,000 watts/ 746 (bird watts) = 93.8 (Bird) horsepower....

Them thar enjens must be reel eficient to powar all them pills hammer doun

some of the mobile guys cheat and run 18 volts. There are inverters made for them that take 12V and make 18 or 24V. But I think the tube is still king at home, as long as there are 4CX15000's.. I was told of a "mobile" guy that towed a generator trailer and ran a box of tubes. Never seen anything like that though since I don't hang out with that group. There are some key down videos on youtube.

Pay particular attention to the part about colon cancer.

Good Read Don,

Um... War.. as it is..I'm not a fan either...is the inevitability of the misteaching of our children, the world is that life above all even Religion is of the utmost importance.

One can follow their beliefs their heritage their own path for that matter an not interfere with others it is possible...it's all in what is taught in the forming years that's ingrained and carried through life...I really believe that..

Subsequently we have what is... at some point on this rock we're gona have to put down the broomsticks and old wives tales and over written dialogs from the past and wake up one day and look around and say hey... the sun is up.. it's warm...i'm here your there dig this place...

I dunno

Although war doesn't necessarily improve the economy it does impact society and ultimately the economy.  The first real department stores in the U.S. (Macy's of NYC and Wanamakers of Philadelphia) resulted from the Civil War and population growth in these cities from the influx of workers needed to power the Union war factories.  They would have happened at some point anyway with industrialization but the war definitely sped up the pace of change. 

The death of downtown shopping districts was an ultimate result of automobiles becoming more affordable due in part to the efficient factories and excess civilian goods production capacity brought about through our investment in WWII war manufacturing capacity.  As automobiles became more popular people were less dependent upon the mass transit systems which all served the central business district (i.e. downtown shopping area) and suburban shopping malls and strip centers provided convenient parking for the pride and joy of American families.

War wasn't the only cause of these societal shifts but it was a major factor.  Some of you may remember the Fuller Brush man who went door to door selling brushes.  Well, after Rosie the Riveter and her sisters refused to return to being happy homemakers after the war the life of the door to door salesman was a little less promising given the reduction of daytime customers.

On a dark note, war is definitely a form of population control and over population is a causal factor in many conflicts.

Pay particular attention to the part on public bathrooms.

Man found in public bathroom with blow-up doll gets arrested
The Gazette



A Cedar Rapids man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after police said he was found in a compromising position with an inflatable doll in a public restroom.

At 12:47 p.m., Craig S. McCullough, 47, 828 Eighth Ave. SW, was found lying on the floor in a bathroom inside the Hach building, 401 First St. Se, by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, according to the official complaint filed against him.

According to the criminal complaint, the man had his pants down “lying next to an anatomically correct inflatable doll.”

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has an office in the Hach Building. Special Agent David Hoagland, who found McCullough, could not comment on the incident.

McCullough remained in the Linn County Jail Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure.

McCullough was convicted in 2004 of burglarizing Just For Me bridal boutique, 709 Third Ave. SE. Officers found him in a nearby alley carrying a mannequin wearing a bridal dress shortly after the burglary occurred.

My question would be, is there a position in which you can be found with an inflatable doll and it not be compromising?

There was a recent arrest report in the local paper charging a man with "fondling himself in an inappropriate manner in public"; the article didn't specify how one might go about appropriate fondling in public.

I remember years ago when they instituted the HOV lanes around DC people getting busted for this. Too funny. Makes you wonder what the cop thought.

Rodger WQ9E

Parson Malthus in the early 19th century and Paul Ehrlich in the mid 20th century both put forth theories of impending population catastophes. Neither was correct.

I suspect the earth can sustain far greater populations than it currently does.

Terry,

The earth can certainly support more than the current population but there are definitely pockets of overpopulation and that is one of triggers for conflict.  Compared to other countries, Japan for example, we can support a lot more population inside the continental U.S. but even within our country there is friction concerning expansion of neighborhoods.  In areas that are already tense population imbalance is a trigger waiting for a chance to fire.  I don't need a 5 acre homesite but I wouldn't willingly give it up; on the other hand I certainly could not imagine living with the population density present in many parts of the world.

Good old Malthus truly was a "gloomy gus" and it is amazing how many people bought into Malthusian economics.  I guess at the time one of his central tenets concerning wealth distribution seemed empirically supportable given the behavior of the European imperial empires.  He seemed to have missed the basic idea of wealth creation and focused mostly upon wealth transfer (or theft as the case may be).

Robin thought this was a post about the half time show at the Super Bowl?

He's an early morning guy. The sellers (that's us) can get in as early as 0630. That's why he wants to leave so early. Think coffee. I have tickets for you and JN.

My ball-n-chain is letting me use her candy apple red '99 caddy pimp mobile to go to da fest! The starter solenoid on the truck finally gave up the ghost, so I'll be cruisin' up in style.  Grin

It'll be good to see you again, Mike. Johnny & Steve too. 4AM.....wowsers. You'll scare the roosters! I'm bringing plenty-o-good deals with me, so be prepared to haul some of them home. Because I don't wanna. Friends get even better deals.

Mine gets home around 6 PM.  We have time for the evening meal and maybe something on the tube in those rare instances when there is something on worth watching, or she does her quilting or crossword puzzle, then she is ready to crap out at 10 PM.

Me, I'm just getting my second wind by then.  I'm the one who doesn't go to bed until 3 or so.

This gives me several hours every night to play radio in peace without interruption, if I so desire.

Too bad that festical is so far from here.
