The last few years I think the plumbers were taking time to get to people here also. One year even a few businesses and schools had pipes break. When they have that many at once it can take a while even when there are a bunch of plumbers. This year has been a pretty mild winter here.

Well hopefully after time we have learned enough to avoid it!! I know there are no guarantees though.

Trying to figure this out is making me dizzy. I like it.

my working hypothesis for figuring it out is this:

the people who were paying attention knew, by the sixties, that america was pretty much fucked, mostly because america wasnt finding enough oil, and and would become dependent on foreign oil.

american oil production peaked in 1970, in the middle of the vietnamese war, confirming looters' suspicions that america was doomed.

the only thing left to do was loot.

meanwhile, the israel lobby assassinates kennedy, sending a message to US politicians that "you'd best get with the program."

the program being: preserve israel at any cost.

the program was eventually refined by the AEI, which figured that the only thing left to do was grab the remaining oil at gunpoint... supposedly.

the problem being: it's likely that the "war on terror" is nothing more than cover for looting america as it expires.

the basic premise being: most of the big dogs have written israel off, and all they care about is looting enough to buy refuge wherever.

the dismal performance of the israelis seems to confirm the theory.

the routine atrocities israel performs dont seem to be consistent with efforts to preserve israel, and so we have to assume that the deterioration in israel is a symptom of israeli leadership being looters themselves.

in the Philippines every house I lived in had an elevated water tank of around 400 gallons and an inline water heater that plumbed between the shower water pipe an the shower head. as for cleaning the clothes we had Mr. Clean, Tide among other bars of soap used to do the wash by hand in a big pan. I would use a bar of Mr. Clean to wash out cuts the stuff was great for avoiding infection.

we'd move off the carrier into the BOQ at subic, drink all night, wake up at 11, eat hot dogs around the pool until it was time to go into town.

there was a curfew but this middle-aged lady flagged me down after curfew, and i spent the rest of the night with her, despite the fact that i was broke.

in the morning, as i was going through the gate, i was fishing in my pockets for my ID and discovered the filipino equivalent of a $5 bill.

lord knows what that was about.

depending when that was a 5 peso note could have been worth close to 1 dollar U.S. or a thin dime. when I first got there in the early eighties the exchange rate was 7 pesos 50 centavos to the dollar when I left about ten years later the exchange rate was near 50 pesos to the dollar.

it could be i was so fucked up that i missed that five dollar bill.

given the attitude of the lady, though, and my habitual money tracking ability, it still seems likely to me that she stuffed a five-dollar bill into by shirt while i was asleep.

but maybe i'm just trying to

I sent out a kid with five bucks U.S. for some smoke, he came back with a half kilo of buds and 50 pesos change. that was early '82 and the exchange rate was still under 10 pesos to the dollar.

a girl picked me up in seattle, took me home with her, introduced me to crosby stills and nash, most especially "judy blue eyes".

a neophyte, stoned to the gills.

i told her that if young men didnt enjoy war, there wouldnt be wars. she was outraged.

even when they had the travel restrictions in the late eighties due to zoomies in Angeles City getting themselves shot I would go to places 'canos didn't go, learning Tagalog had its advantages. if one did not speak Tagalog if they went into a pinoy bar they didn't stay long. every one I went into for the first time they would show their displeasure of my presence by breaking ashtrays and glasses on the floor where I was sitting I'd just say "hoy pare bukit ganya ka?" after that it'd be like we'd been drink buddies for years.

I really like the Cornbread Red rendition of Southern Cross and as I've never been to Seattle I'm fairly sure I know not the gal of which you speak.

"hoy pare bukit ganya ka?"

dont know what that means.

i was the typical military tourist, and languages didnt make much difference... context defined the natives, and if they were mildly goodlooking girls in a bar, that's all it took.

hey pal why do you have to be like that? is the basic translation. I didn't like paying tourist prices for beer so I was more likely to hang out at a sari-sari store and drink or the pinoy bars. the bars that catered to 'canos would charge from 10 to 20 pesos for a beer, I never paid more than 6 pesos a beer at the pinoy bars and as little as 3 pesos at the sari-sari stores. hinda ko kariput, ako yagit! I'm not a cheapskate, I'm poor!

the really fun part was establishing what dialect the person you were talking with spoke, my wife is from Tabaco Albay so I speak what's called the Bicol dialect and the majority of persons I'd come in contact with spoke Papangan so I learned both but here in Texas we just speak Bicol to each other, it drives the mexicans nuts.

the problem for me, in particular, seems to be, that i cant play worth a shit, my voice takes a lot of getting used to, and i'm running out of what it takes, assuming i ever had what it takes in the first place.

cornbread red has the tools... maybe i will listen longer... maybe they're saying stuff that registers in the long run.

of course not they are the bumper music for the shows you have to listen to the shows to hear the bumper music and the shows them self are very interesting. some of the best parts are when Gary from Georgia calls in, that guy knows some law and legal process.

well, whoever's putting the recordings together is doing a great job with the talent, and the talent is boggling.

but it always boils down to the same thing: if the music isnt relevant, it might as well be lady ga ga.

i gots to listen more to try to figure out what they're saying, keeping in mind that the perfect song is so ambiguous that everyone thinks the song is about them.

Lord, I hope not. Taps were all frozen this a.m. and no H2O for the little lady to take a shower. 16 degrees here this morning. Never seen anything like it. Forecast 20 tonight and 25 for Sunday overnight. Lows should be back in the 30s for Monday night.

All my faucets are dribbling now and I have an outside spigot with icicle hanging from it. Looks like the pipe split. Hope we make it through the weekend here without any damage. Got the fireplace on and the furnace up high enough to roast chestnuts. Brrrr. Sick of it.

It's so easy to take the basic little things for granted, until you go without.

"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
