Every Aspect of our Lives Subject to Inventory

Esteemed Speaker of the House of Representatives, speaking in China, makes a Green Appeal, saying "Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility."

If that doesn't scare you, nothing will.

Who'd have thought it? Pizza by the slice is thought by some to be a cause of street crime in Washington, D.C.

Adams Morgan Councilman Sets Sights on Single-slice Pizza Sales

Ward 1 D.C. Councilman Jim Graham, who represents Adams Morgan, says the pizza parlors selling single slices along 18th Street, some of which are open until 4:30 a.m., are part of the problem when it comes a recent rash of street fights, stabbings, muggings and even a shootout involving two plainclothes police officers.

Pump Problems

Last week was the first time we used the Palouse Caboose for camping. We've always had an issue with the water pump that prevented leaving the pump switch on the entire time we were using the trailer. Last year, about once a minute the pump would cycle, as if it had a loss of pressure due to a leak. I couldn't locate a leak, however, and dealt with the issue by just switching the pump on whenever we wanted to use the water (sink, flush toilet). Last weekend, however, the problem was noticeably worse. The pump would try to cycle ever 5 seconds or so. Very annoying, especially if the toilet was used at night, since the pump is located directly beneath my head, and Lynne's turning the pump switch on would invariably wake me up.

I spent a little time today troubleshooting the system and, voila!, I located the problem. When the pump is switched on, I found water leaking down the side of the trailer from the fresh water inlet valve. So, now that the problem is isolated, I can set about fixing it. Unfortunately, it's Memorial Day and I'm sure the local RV Emporium, Smiley's RV, is closed, so the repair will have to wait until next weekend.

Hat tip to Maggie's Farm

Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.

Obama Announces 20,000 New DOD Jobs

Great!!!

Soon the Pentagon will have 1,220,000 civilian employees.
Meanwhile the US Army has 550,000 soldiers.

That is why America has not won a war since the Pentagon was built.
