I'm in electronics, but thankfully have an automotive exemption.  No RoHS solder has yet held up to testing.

Ah but remember Woodrow Wilson and FDR are Gods among men, and compared to either Warren and Cal were country rubes (and corrupt to boot).  Never mind that WW was a racist thug and FDR a fascist sympathizer.

Well it is mostly sawdust, ground up horse meat, and horse-hoof glue.  Even the "meat"balls are just Scrut's rejects I hear.

Just don't ask to use his keyboard or mouse, EVER

I think it means you've lost the ability to communicate in the real world.

You know why the government gets overcharged for everything?  BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT.  I HATE compliance paperwork.  I spent about 1/3 of April just filling out annual compliance reports for customers who sell to government agencies.

Dodd Frank added "Conflict Minerals" to the list of ()^)(#&*(*$&%&* junk that they think I should monitor, and my customers are panicking over it already, even though the deadline is NEXT YEAR!

I'm just mad she hasn't bought us a round of drinks yet.  Sure it's morning here, but cheap plonk always goes well with breakfast (save the good stuff for dinner).

You always do your best and hope your model rubs off on your colleagues.  Praying for you.  

Man oh man but your stories just beg for more stories, the branches and trunks of other tales barely glimpsed while we go flying by in the jeep.  Glad you're putting this down.  You don't even need to form a strict chronological narrative of the events as each story flow into and hint at so many others.

Excellent work.

Typical for this administration.  Evil to the core, and relying on their cronies in the ABA to provide cover.  Subvert every single principle we have.

Of course - those laws are roundly condemned in every single American History textbook out there.  They are citied as proof of America's post WWI isolationism and as part of a wider xenophobia in Western Civ.  Often said to be America's analog to Naziism.

So Indaba poked her head in here earlier but vanished.  I think I know why:

Rico keeps inverting the photo, but look under the white wines.  Apparently she's making cheap plonk!

Lucky no one added a *rimshot*.

That only means she has a formidable digestive system.  Just keep some matches handy in case she turns that system on us.

Truly the rule of "men" over the rule of law.  You watch, if Zimmerman is acquitted, Holder will just bring him up on some Federal charge, like in the Rodney king case.

Thanks for these journals so far.  Always good to have reminders of just how good we have it.  

Question:  With all the snakes you dispatched, would any of the Nicos consider them for food too?  Sounds like with all you knocked off your friends could have been better fed.  This is assuming, of course, that bushmasters or fer de lances are actually edible and don't taste totally awful.
