it's cloudy with no sun to warm us up. the high predicted today is 35. currently it's 26 degrees (feels like 17). could be hours before the pipes unfreeze. i'm going nuts already.

I'm being told by the judges vermin lawyer would have worked as well, I'll have to get back to you on this.

In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report.

Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.

it's a wonder humanity survived all those hundreds of thousands of years without hot showers.

if i happened to live long enough, i guess that's what i'd miss most about our glorious modern world... that's what i think about when i'm in the shower if there's nothing else to think about.

Keep a space heater by the pipes to prevent them from freezing up or else you won't be able to flush your toilet either. Also, keep a space heater in your bathroom and have it running at around 60 degrees just enough to keep it warm in there so that the pipes in the bathroom don't freeze up.

What is handy is having a stock of clean milk cartons filled with water and kept in the house near fireplace for bathing purposes and drinking. Label them so you know what carton is for. I'd keep about 30 around. You never know about freezing temps like these.

Also when its icy outside from below zero temps and you have ice on your power lines, most likely that will cause power outages. It's best to have lots of candles and batteries for flashlights when power goes out.

something's puzzling me, has puzzled me for a long time...

all those people in SE asia, who didnt have hot showers and shit in the ocean, and wore dazzling white shirts.

we have to assume they didnt have a god of hot showers, or a god of flush toilets, or a god of whirlpool washers and dryers, but they seemed to be clean, anyhow.

is that why we killed millions of them?

They always used to say that they were godless commies, so the white shirt thing is quite the paradox.

I'm pretty sure though that we had to kill them because they were going to invade Texas. Yes, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. My country, right or wrong and all that.

the logic being: if they were godless, and cleanliness is next to godliness, then white shirts would be impossible.

makes sense to me.

maybe there's something else at work here... the threat to texas makes as much sense as

none of it makes sense, unless you're a looter.

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.

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 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!

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.
