I don't know

So maybe we'll get a casino in southern Ohio. Does that mean that citizens from the northern part of the state will go there, or is it more likely that Kentuckians from around Louisville will come to Ohio rather than West Virginia? If I want to gamble (which I usually don't) Detroit or Windsor comes to mind, not Cincinnati.

I watched an interview by Fareed Zakaria with Lew Kuan Yew, the former PM of Singapore on CNN's GPS program at 1:00 PM today. I have to admit I was impressed with the man. Especially at the end when Zakaria asked him about what he attributed his longevity to. Some people just choose their parents wisely.

Why do I sometimes get this link, http://swampbubbles.com/node, when I use the backward and forward arrow?

Just think how you would feel today if your pension dollars were invested in AIG, Lehman Brothers, WaMu, and the many financial and insurance corporations that have made offers that turned out to be false. I don't know a way out of this mess, but privatizing social security seems only a way of showering money on the already rich while the rest of us just get p-ssed on.

Did anyone else get this dvd in their Sunday Blade? Have you watched it yet? What is it about?

I opened up the paper yesterday morning and this piece of paper with this dvd attaced to it fell out. I have not had time to view it yet because I was at the big home makeover thing most of the day, and of course football, but I just wondered if others got this and had viewed it yet?

This link, http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/sunday/main3445.shtml, looks at the business of home-schooling.

Today while driving in my neighborhood, I saw a "No Loitering" sign posted on a telephone pole. Is this enforceable and if so how?

How do you know who is loitering and who is just shooting the breeze with their neighbor?

I bought myself a new computer (an H-P Pavilion a6500f) to replace the one I've had since Sep 2004 (an H-P a646c (Athlon 64 3200+, 512MG 2700 DDR SDRAM, and 200GB 7200 RPM EIDE HD). The salesman at BestBuy offered to remove the "trial" software, install their favorite virus software and anti-spyware, and transfer files from my old computer to the new.

My son and I just got back from a day trip to Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. I noticed on the way there and back a sign on the turnpike I wasn't familiar with.

It's the letters HC with a red circle around them and the red line across them as in the No smoking signs.

Any ideas as to what HC stands for?

BOSTON — A starting lineman for the New England Patriots worked as an informant for federal drug agents after he was arrested in New York on a charge of carrying the powerful painkiller oxycodone without a prescription, an attorney said.

It's 10 AM, and I'm getting antsy. When my garbage was collected on Wednesdays I would heard the garbage truck wheezing up (hydralics?) between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, and I would get up to make sure the garbage men didn't leave busted bags in their wake (maybe once did I have a complaint). When I saw that we were changing to Monday collection it was just another thing to remember.

The complaints I see about the changes in trash collection seem to be coming from an older generation (which I might consider myself part of) rather than those who actually pay for the "service". If you aren't earning an income you aren't paying for the collection of your trash, except for the "recycling fee".

Here is the movie that Network Solutions, the domain company, banned from being shown on the Internet. Warning: if you have a weak stomach, don't watch. Propaganda or truth? You decide. It depicts Islam as a murderous religion seeking world domination.

Again, not trying to raise tempers or step on sensitive toes - I am not attacking any religion. These are just a few more things that make me wonder. Add your thoughts, or don't - no hot headed comments wanted.

Did Jesus Lie About Prayer & Other Things?

I just got the email from UT announcing what is coming up at UT this month. I never read these emails, but for some reason opened this one and found:

If I understand it correctly, NAFTA is a big reason so many of our jobs went overseas - resulting in the pathetic economic condition our country is is. I don't know much about NAFTA. Can anybody please explain if NAFTA is something we're stuck with forever or can it be 'undone'? Would our economy straighten out & improve if we ended NAFTA?
