well our local electric co-op went from having a local message taker to one half a continent away(Kansas for petes sake) the new management will not even do preventive maintenance on the right of ways( result-every windstorm or electric storm,lights out) he thinks he is saving the co-op money,before this joker,lights out were uncommon and we had people to send to other areas that were affected by ice,wind, etc,now not so sure.

A woman selected a new cart at the grocery and the manager stopped her with a baseball bat. That is not primed yet! He then hit the front castor so it shimmied and wobbled. Now its right!

- Wyrafinowany, raffinated, refined (sophisticated)
- Pensjonat, pension, guest-house
- SRAM, I'm shitting, SRAM (a bicycle component brand)

We have just discovered after some digging into the small print, that due to some quirks of the commonwealth or purposeful meddling a third of the world is able to vote in all British elections.
2.6 billion people are eligible, a third of the world, all they have to do is turn up.
Quite the the leftover from Empire
I wonder if the same applies to Spain, France Germany etc.

As a married man, I've had to learn to be discreet about my girl-watching.

From the nyt:
Supreme Court justices are famous but not well known. Their names are familiar but not their faces. For this reason, David Souter and Stephen Breyer were frequently mistaken for each other. Once during his tenure on the court, Souter was driving from Washington to his home in New Hampshire, and he stopped in a little restaurant to get something to eat. A couple came up to him, and the man asked him a question.
“You’re on the Supreme Court, right?” Souter nodded. “You’re Stephen Breyer, right?”
Souter didn’t want to embarrass the fellow in front of his wife, so he said yes, he was Breyer. They chatted for a little while, and the fellow asked, “Justice Breyer, what’s the best thing about being on the Supreme Court?”
After a pause, the justice answered, “I’d have to say it was the privilege of serving with David Souter.”

The Polish diaspora abroad can vote in Poland's elections. However, all they vote for the Electoral District #1, City of Warsaw. Is it good or bad? One opinion is, it is completely wrong as the all the emigration is represented in a single district but the voters should vote for the district they feel they should. On the other hand...
The farther the emigrees live from the Old Country, the more detached they are. Meaning, the emigrees from the U.S. for example often vote for the populist nationalist parties as these voters don't share the burden of living together in the Motherland. Putting all abroad voters into a single electoral district minimises such an impact.

For the last five days in a row I have been seeing dogs of all shapes and sizes as I pass a dog park in what appears to be prayer. I didn't know that dogs prayed. They have bowed heads and are completely still and focused on gopher holes!
