liver & onions* * *
Another medium performance day. Read otherwise, another day, no dollars! Fiddled with the tracking gadget for a couple of hours before the sun was decently up, then went down to the old goat shed that got mashed by a few of Jeanne's winds last year to salvage some components.
Lots of useful goodies still in there (NASA surplus auctioned years ago, doesn't have EPA-qualified foam on them!) . It also has a resident tick farm. Picked off 17 after crawling around in it.
Looks like Ohfeelya is now a hurricane and she's just sittin' there getting all wound up. The weathercritter on the radio (I'm at 100% teevee news boycott) says the gal has no steering currents and therefore could do most anything. Most likely is probably for her to head off NE into the Atlantic which means she'll probably cruise across Florida , get all hot and bothered in the Gulf, then eat Mississippi or Alabama. Nawlins already has a built-in eater system. It's called that excuse they elected themselves for a gummit.
Katrina aid to date: $62 billion. Expected to exceed $100 billion.
Population affected by Katrina: approx 1.5 million.
Aid for all four hurricanes that ate Florida in 2004: <$20 billion
It's hard to get more than 50 miles from a coast in Florida. Heck of a larger population (17+ million) than the area clobbered by Katrina and I'm willing to bet there's a hell of a lot more mobile homes as well. And now FEMA is up to spending $2 billion a day? Huh? Must be re-building the levees and roads with stacks of Federal Reserve notes. Can I get some of that? I need a couple of sticks of dynamite AND a come-along! ;o)
Several days ago Bill Whittle who writes Eject! Eject! Eject! posted TRIBES. Since it was a fairly long essay I saved it for a period when there was a decent sit-down time. Read it over lunch today. If you haven't gotten around to it yet, it's on my mandatory reading list. Prints out (without comments) as 14 pages of 12 point that I'll be delivering to some of my non-internet friends next trip out. If you're not familiar with Bill, the first link is his home page and he's written a lot of other very good stuff.
The post title is my supper. I just purely love liver and onions!

Oh good lord, just clicked over to the NYT article on Drudge. $100 billion for the 1.5 million. That's $66,666.66 for each man, woman, and brat. Suspend charity, it's definitely NOT needed. Save your donations for your local folk that will probably need it this winter. $273K for the average family of 4.1, $533K for the typical unwed welfare breeder. ..probably in addition to the funds already provided plus the incentive money to breed more dims. Total insanity.

Well, I'll eat liver and onions if I am hungry enough but I do have to be pretty damn hungry. You are absoluty correct about the Fed money pouring onto the hit area. Once that money gets distributed the dope dealers will get rich!
