    Trump the financial Tramp
    What happened to him being bankrupt? Well I guess if you are called Trump, bankrupcy still means a few hundred million in petty cash lying around or what?? Burning books that are holy for so many people is just MEAN! Yes, in theory this moron is within his rights to express himself by doing so, but I guess I am against offensive symbolic gestures. I am not overly fond of US media these days, and the Tea Party, etc, but I still would not burn a US Flag or anything, because it risks offending normal every day folks. Am against being an a-hole to get my point across, personally would rather stick to arguing facts. ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

    Flying Monkeys
    The Flying Monkeys were mythologically realistic creatures from the pre-historic days of this chatroom. They were devious little buggers, who tended to swipe beer and deliver it to chatroom friends in other parts of the world-Spain because that's where Sunshine Daydream and I were living-he in one corner of Andalucia and me in the other. We never knew exactly when the lil devils would strike, but they seemed to be particularly fond of visiting Sunshine Daydream; especially after his afternoon 420! Johnman, any sightings lately?? I suspect that the modern bouts of chatroom drama were not to their liking, and that they may have followed the dinosaurs into extinction-which would be very sad indeed.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

    Unbelievable! What a terrible week for fires.. at least they have a decent handle on the Boulder fire (I think it is 30% contained). "The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire"

    A bank and the homeless
    So I asked the local community bank to follow a current trend among smallish banks and credit unions wherein they donate $100 to 100 people in the local community where they do business. They have the largest, most modern building in the small town that is the business hub in this rural region. They make a very good profit off the people in this area. They could easily afford to give away 10k and probably make it all back on the good publicity alone. Would they do it and start with the people of the local homeless encampment not more than a mile from their opulent operations center? No, they would not. They also refused to acknowledge that other banks are giving away ten thousand dollars in some localities around the country (which is a fact, heard on All Things Considered, the national news program of National Public Radio). They also refused to believe there is a homeless encampment on the banks of the Connecticut River. After all, if there is no problem and no bank is seen being generous then there is no need to feel guilty about doing nothing as the weather turns colder. I am not surprised. Disgusted maybe, but not surprised.

    on the domestic Muslim lunacy front...
    ... the preacher now decides he won't burn the korans and Trump wants to buy out the owners of the Islamic community center in NYC. this week has been way to screwy for me. i think it's time to take a break, for me anyway, till things get back to their usual level of insanity...

    I have not heard of any deaths
    But word on the street is that someone backed into a propane tank that exploded. It certainly was not lightning since it hasn't rained much lately, so this was a human error. I don't know if I agree with mandatory evacuations, I think people can make their own decisions whether to leave or not, hell it's your home, it's hard to leave that behind and may vey well be worth risking your life for. I do agree that if you live in the mountains or on a river bank or on a beach it is a good idea to be prepared for disasters. "The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire"
