In our changed climate the storms have additional factors. Staggering rainfall rates/inches per hour. My town wouldnt do so well with 5" rain in a couple hours or even a day. I've tried to imagine what my hood would look like. It would be a disaster. When floodwater is raging down main street of town sw...
No more drinking on the PRR. I dont think we can imagine early railroading, a couple of drinks may have helped. lMarch 11, 1854 To reduce on-duty drinking by employees, the Pennsylvania Railroad Road Committee considers ordering a ban on the sale of all liquor and beer on any PRR property and to proh...
This is a good example of Mercury in Retrograde and Venus in Retrograde at the same time. No one was hurt no crash but a monetary loss and compensating passengers who arrived 6hr later than planned whose trip was not pleasant because of the nature of the "delay". It was stupid but believable. The pilot r...
This has been in the news a lot lately starting in the LA area and most lately in Chicago area where folks are ready to rob any train that stops. It would seem that authorities would be really interested in doing something about it. Frustrating trend. [video=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kAuH...

Today, I fined a condo for parting late at night with excessive noise. We have key fobs to gain entrance to the pools, so I let them know they will be locked out until the fine was paid. They paid up right away. I had another condo remove their planters that are overhanging a third floor balcony. A lett...
I guess its never happened before or not in last 100 years where the Gulf Coast got snow. Snow and freezing temps lasting days. You can imagine what traffic might be like. This is your Sun conjunct Pluto winter weather event. All of North America in a big polar vortex dip and no real sign of it ending anyti...
There I was at North Pole Alaska on.a layover for some of many missions. My boss, a true Evangelical believer but who wasn't one of those pain in the asses type had keys to one of two vehicles issued to us. It was winter in central Alaska where the day time temperature would maybe get to -20 degrees Ameri...
Talk about a Global food shortage in the near future seems easier to imagine now with the weather destroying vast agricultural areas around the world. China's food growing ability after the floods that dont stop is going to be nothing. Many Chinese drivers missing their car. Might be the record amou...

You got to be a glutton for punishment to attend Burning Man Festival. No one will forget last years exodus in the mud. Attendance down a bit this year but the freaky fun went on as unusual. MIR for most of the event. I cant imagine how weird of a time it was. Burning Man Attendees Blasted by Giant Dust Sto...
It doesnt seem to mater to bikers going to Sturgis every year that the weather could be shitty. Remember last year there was deluge early in the week that turn the campgrounds into a muddy quagmire. Maybe you can afford to be indoors this week. Like the Knoxville Nationals this year, Sturgis will be dur...
I finally installed the electric fireplace my wife got for XMAS. I still have to install the fake rock for the mantel, but she is happy for today.... I have another 537 more to do. I am not sure I like this retirement stuff.
This retired stuff sucks. Ended up in the hospital for a day for an infection in my right calf. I am falling apart here, spending more time in doctor's offices.
