    Have you seen this?

    There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those that understand binary, And those who don't. I saw this poster on an episode of NCIS. For those who make fun of me because I am baffled by current technology, I programmed computers (Z-80 and 1KB of RAM) to run demo robots with 1s and 0s...

    What happened to Tiger and Schuey?

    As recently as 5 years ago Tiger Woods was so dominant in PGA Golf that other players admitted that they played to finish second. In the same period Michael Schumacher dominated Formula 1 racing, though not as dominant as Tiger. In the last year or two both have returned to the sport that they...

    Jerks on TV. Whatsup?

    I watch a lot of TV. Until recently I watched little fictional drama; mostly nonfiction and some British comedy. Now I suddenly discover that lead characters in many popular shows are insufferable jerks. NCIS: The DiNozzo character is a bully and a terrible jerk. If he worked for me it...

    Exe's and kids - on a GOOD note!!!

    Re: Exe's and kids - on a GOOD note!!! I guess the breakup of my marriage (27 years) was unusual. We never fought about anything, our 4 children were grown. She remarried and is now a widow. She is still the Love Of My Life, and if she was willing to live at The Hideout or I was willing to...

    Happy 20th Birthday, Miss Kitty

    Twenty years ago this week I moved into my daughter's house to "sit" it while she was serving in Desert Storm. There was a very small kitten there whom I called microcat. After the war she was adopted by grandson Sean and lived with him until he left for college. She then adopted my Son, John...

    Propane powered weedwhacker.

    I got an ad in the mail along with the bill from my propane supplier. They are recommending a weedwhacker from LEHR, Inc. that runs on propane and offering a big discount. For years I have had to strip the carb on my Weedeater every time I wanted to use it. I have quit using it in favor of an...

    stralls and bikes

    All baseball season I have been watching the new thing called a pitch tracker and comparing where pitches really crossed the plate (or not) to where the umpire calls them. Last night I kept mental notes on pitches that were not swung at in the Rangers/Rays game. One case: First pitch was...

    "Natural frequencies"??

    Have you seen the ad for a "bracelet" that uses "natural frequencies" to alter your balance, increase your energy, etc.??:eek: How in the world can that outrageous lie be allowed on TV? Some people will fall for it and pay $19.95 (plus S&H) for that worthless POJ and be too embarrassed to take...
