A post from Pete Buttigieg:

Trump is blaming Democrat policies and DEI for the crash because the FAA hired people with physical and psychological problems, when last week he sacked all those people, who were replaced by lesser trained people.

English singer Marianne Faithfull has passed away aged 78. The singer had previously suffered multiple health problems, including bulimia, breast cancer and emphysema caused by decades of smoking.

Just read that while RFK Jr has told people to disregard warnings to get vaccinated, and declared himself an anti-vaxxer, all his kids are vaccinated/

Correct. Billy Idol.

In the past 2.5 years, I've driven 7.500 km. Thatequates to 60,000 km in 20 years. Could have been a retired old fart like me. That includes 22 km/day return, 3 days a week going to the Men's Shed where we are sharing with another group. In March we move to a new location where the travel will be 8 km/day return.

Nev, you know what I meant. If there was a thread on here about TV "reality" shows, like Married at First Sight, Great Australian Bakeoff, etc. I wouldn't bother to read them because I have zero interest.

Like Kochy keeps telling us, "Compare The Market."

My Festiva refused to start a couple of weeks ago. The battery had plenty of charge, it had half a tank of petrol, but would not fire. I'll admit, I'm no mechanic, so I called RACV road service. The service mechanic couldn't get it to start and said Get a tow truck and take it to a garage. That could have been expensive and there were other problems - air con not working, clutch starting to slip, difficulty getting it into 2nd gear, problems with suspension. Probably not roadworthy. I figured repairs would cost more than it was worth. I bought another car with less than 75km on the clock which had previously been registered in NSW. The dealer had to reregister it to sell it in Victoria. I picked it up yesterday, and the new rego was 2BU.7DZ. My son said "I have a nickname for your car -- Two beers under seven dozen."

I've told you before Nev, if you don't like what's in a tupic, no one is forcing you to open and read it. I jeave many topics unopened, particularly on Rec Flying, where I have no interest in them.

I enjoy a benefit of my smart meter with AGL. I can log on to my AGL account at any time, see my usage, and how my bill is progressing. I get an estimate of what my next bill will be and how many days to go. I can make small progress payments along the way, so when the bill actually issues, I have zero or a small nominal amout to pay. No bill shock.

How do you guys navigate? If you get blown off course as easily as you get sidetracked on these topics, I'd hate to fly with you.

When my son was cutting the lawn on Sunday afternoon, he said there was water leaking near the meter. By yesterday, we had a virtual creek running across the lawn. We turned off the water at the meter which stopped the flow, but we had to turn it on a couple of times to fill the cisterns and for him to shower for work. The plumber has just finished repairing it. --- $3,400!!

I got this invite today so I accepted the challenge. I got 10/10.

Talk now that California wants to secede.

The negative results of his actions haven't hit home yet, they are still living on euphoria. It's only been 7 days. Seeing all the pre-election crap and comments on Farcebook, they are expecting miracles. Give it 3 or 4 months and things don't improve the way they hope, eg. cheaper eggs, gasoline, groceries, etc., and the impact of his policies on the cost of medicines, education, etc. start to hurt, that euphoria will evaporate.

The only soshul meja I use is FB, but not on the phone. My daughter uses the internet more than I do, so pays for it, thus I get it free, or use the Men's Shed internet. I don;t text very often, so my costs are not high. Meanwhile, here's my silly picture.
