Water main break right in front of our house! YAY!!

Damned global warming.

Update: the main has been gugling water into the street for about twelve hours now. There are two little geysers about 3″ tall splorping water and mud up onto the asphalt. I expect there’s beginning to be a good subsidence under the pavement, there. NIPSCO came out and marked the gaslines, but no help from Streets and San yet. Wonder how long before a whole car disapears under the street.

Update 2: the crew has arrived. Poor bastards are standing waist deep in a hole full of ice cold water. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but they’re getting paid well.

At least we should ahve water by tomorrow AM.

Update3: Done, hole in asphalt filled in with gravel, a nice and workmanlike job and no leaks. Less than three hours start to finish, I’d say, all in the dark, all done in about three feet of water by guys standing in the cold- it’s 21 degrees out, at present. God bless ’em, and I hope the rest of their night is warmer. Thank God, most of all, that it was city property and not something I ended up having to pay for!!

Google it yourself, I won’t link to this BS here This anencephalic fuckmonkey was one of the assholes shot by that idiot at virginia tech. He’s been bought off by the Brady Campaign to fight the eeeevil gunz!!!!one!!
Money quote:

“Instead of putting more guns in that classroom two years ago, I would work toward removing the two that were there, in the hands of the shooter. Guns on campus were the problem two years ago, not the solution. And we have to solve the problem, not make more of
them.”

I have heard more ignorant arguments, but they came from inanimate matter.

Look, Colin, you waste of oxygen: MAKING AN ILLEGAL THING MORE ILLEGAL WILL NOT PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING.

How ignorant do you have to be? Every Goddamned instructor at Virginia Tech ought to have their ASSES FIRED POSTHASTE. They are not producing students capable of even the most rudimentary reason.

More: Here’s another bit of wisdom from Captain Brainless:

“Remember, my whole class thought it was construction noise. Then I thought the killer was a police officer. I barely had time to make the phone call. Anyone who thinks I could have gotten to a weapon and shot somebody I never fully saw watches too many movies. “

Well, you idiot, 1: Your whole class was obviously composed of morons. 2: If you think a guy wandering around with a drawn gun shooting at the unarmed is a POLICE OFFICER you’d better get to an iron lung soon, because the LIKLIHOOD THAT YOU WILL FORGET TO BREATHE IS HIGH. And 3: IF YOU HAD TIME TO MAKE A PHONE CALL YOU COULD HAVE ARMED A WHOLE ROOMFUL OF YOUR CLASSMATES!

I’m sorry that the Creator of the Universe saw fit to deny you the use of testicles, or intestines, but here’s a little hint for you: No matter how much sunshine the Brady Campaign is pounding up your flaccid ass, YOU are ultimately responsible for defending YOU. And, at that, sir, you are an epic failure.

Please, someone with more patience than I needs to fisk this fucktard and email it to him, not that it will put his finger any closer to the clue button, just so I don’t have to have my BP go any higher.

set up a new blogspot blog called “Made in America”

The purpose is to report on, promote, and review products made in America.

I’m hoping to get contributors, I think Mr B will participate as he has indicated his interest.

The rules are simple, really. Positive reviews of good quality products made right here. I’ve tried to start the ball rolling wiht two of my favorite products, Danner Boots and Cabelas socks. If you want to expound on products anyone has already reviewed, do so in comments, don’t add a new post. If you have found a product to avoid, post that too, but keep it civil. And you cannot receive money for favorable reviews.
