I am in the shovel it in mode on preparing to depart early tomorrow AM. The aisle of Barth will be full of boxes/bags of wtuff not put away. Running out of time, and I refuse do delay more.
This morn was a trip to town to return an unneeded battery and oil. Simply out of time.
Circumstances forced me home before I could pursue alternative estimates at other dentists. So I probably have to return to the Yumy area in a few weeks. Perhaps some information can be obtained by phone or email regarding dental prices.
The circumstances were the damaged scooter, and, alas, to discover my house roof scattered all over the yard!
This is a picture or two of the new toy, a Piaggio MP3 400 Motor Scooter. Note that these are not my actual scoot rather pics I grabbed from the web for expediency.
In her book, and on the book tour as well as on TV interviews, Palin’s explanation of her infamous non-answer to Courics question about what she reads simply does not ring true.
She says, to paraphrase, that she thought the qusetion was demeaning, a trick and perhaps an implication that she does not read. So she refused to answer, to this day.
Me thinks that she really does read no news media. Perhaps romance novels, Modern Hunting, Penney Saver, Good Housekeeping, maybe Cosmopolitan or Star. But no Washington Post, New York Times, etc.
She was trapped into either not answering, lying or refusing to answer. Under the proposed circumstances it is good that she did not lie and say New York Times. A followup question surely would have really tripped her up, such as “which is your favorite columnist?”
But with that accent many folks did not realize that she ducked the question!
Although it was very tempting, I passed on the shares-only job with the start-up smartStops.net. I do, at least at this time, subscribe to and embrace their service. However, with TDameritrade soon to offer automatic trading, that may be the preferred manner of managing my market stops.
1) The ‘pay’ was not good enough, i.e. not enough potential gain for the high risk of zilch. Also, their business affairs seem to be in a questionable state, as there was no LLC documentation available. [UPDATE: At smartStop's request, the prior statement has been reviewed and determined to be invalid. Additionally, the link URL to smartStops.net has been corrected. - Garry P.]
2) I realized that I should spend my voluntary discretionary time monitoring my own funds, which I have been much too complacent about recently.
I hope to be ready to depart on another journey in a week or so – I am getting ‘home-burnout’.
