America to Vote

I was watching the hoodia that was going last night with the Republican Debate on youTube.

This is a rather odd event. Makes you wonder why some of the questions were selected and why others were eliminated.

Now some needed to be eliminated. But there were to many questions on Abortion and cutting taxes.

The other odd thing is that most of the guys did not seem prepared.

kindleing

No longer are we going to need plasma tv lifts to carry our history books around. Now, we have the Amazon Kindle. While this device is brand new, I love it. I need one and want one.

I am amazed by the screen. I would like to know one hting that somehow does not get an answer.

Can the Kindle goo off th EvDO (3G) network and send at 'normal' speeds. Or is it limited to the EvDO. In which case most of rural America is screwed.

So what else is new.

Remember 9-11

I am still wondering how box cutters lead to all the problems that the TSA will not let people carry on.

My mom tried to travel recently and she has a titanium knee cap. Well guess what. She was seriously shaken down by TSA. If this 60 plus year old white woman is a terriorist well life is pretty much over.

Check into History

I did some checking into the history of a checking account. I thought the

It seems that the Ancient Romans started the process in about 352BC of using checking accounts. Let's be real the idea did not hold water for long. In Holland, they caught on in about 1500.

Checks finally caught on in America in the later 1800s.

I have to confess that I was rather amazed at the results of this little bit of research.


Have a historical day.

Those things

I know that billet grilles look really cool. However, history is full of surprises. The number of changes over the years regarding cars is really odd.

I usually like items like cadillaic and mustangs.

History is full of odd cars and vehicles. I am waiting for the new studebaker

Have a happy day.

Future

I look at future history and wonder. What wil the results of items like lithium battery be. I have rather lost count with the number I have gone through.

It seems like I have them all the time. Rather frustrating.

Have a happy day.

Specialized . . .

I am amazed at this wonderful age of specialization. There are a number of specilizations that are out there. I see it with teaching all the time. As an example, there are a accident lawyers and then there are DELETED and much more.

I wonder how this world (or country) would be different if there arer not such specialization.

Have a happy day.

Every Door Step

I spent several years in Knoxville, TN and spent sometime in some Pigeon Forge cabins. One of the odd things I found out what how divisive the Civil War was.

There is a book called on every door step. Most of Knoxville was split on the civil war. It was to poor of a place to have slaves.

Remember that all the south was not the south.

Have a happy day.

Pack of Rats

In case you missed it . . . the last of the Las Vegas Rat Pack has died.

The last piece of history has died and with him has passed a legend of history. I am sure that these guys will make some really good thesis material.

OF course the real problem will be not to heroize the Rat Pack. I am not sure the Rat Pack should be shown as heros.

Have a happy day.
