I'm 60. I would argue that 20 years is not a long time. Keep pushing.

I tent my fingers upside-down over the sink with them splayed a little. Surface tension pulls most of the water off pretty quickly. Then I towel if one is available. Otherwise air-dry for the win.

Service Supply Company makes nuts, bolts and screws.

Their motto is "House of a Million Screws".

Islay Scotland has burned a shitton of peat over the last couple of centuries to make malt whisky and it's very small. Wonder how much if their elevation they've burned?

Change won't come overnight (at least without revolution). Like evolution, it requires constant pressure on the system. Changes that are too radical kill the organism.

A long as people think we can jump from Geoge H.W. Bush to Bernie Sanders in one election it's going to continue to fail.

Votw Harris this time. Vote for the person slightly more liberal than her next time, etc. It's a process.

Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.

You can find it on YouTube.

Maybe not directly...

If you're unfamiliar with the history of the Donner Party it's a fascinating, if gruesome, read. Of the 83 members of the Donner Party who were trapped in the mountains, 45 survived to reach California. Some became quite successful there.

There were 90 wagons in the train and they were trying a newly conceived route to California that obviously didn't pan out well.

Imagine taking a wrong turn in the wilderness and finding that you've led 90 wagons into hard terrain and deep woods. They were at times literally having to cut trees down to clear a path through dense woods for miles and miles. Horrible, slow going, and hard work.

Couldn't find the date?

Did you check the EXIF data?

That's right. For a company greater than 50 employees the insurance companies charge a group rate that is the same for everyone. Fewer than 50 and each employee is billed on their and/or their family's merits.

Because I have fewer than 50 employees, most of my family employees use their spouse's insurance from larger company than mine. And there's little I can do about it.

For my small business I'm just as screwed over as the employee. If I hire a guy I can't (and don't want to) ask him him or her health questions, but because I pay half of my employee's insurance I'm hiring with an unknown cost component. That employee might have a costly pre-existing condition for all I know.

I'm in Oklahoma. They might not chase a motorcycle here, but a car. For sure.

In what universe is this paradise?
