.....and we see how solvent they areDoug is right, many places to hold this argument and this is not one of them. We can all voice our opinion come November!
Doug is also right about the course. Seems the dean may need a talking to.
I have been working on the tractor this afternoon. She just won't turn over. Have fuel to the carburetor and I changed the spark plugs, but it could still be lack of spark. I will have to get further into it. Had to stop for a meeting we have tonight on the movie. Hope it does not go too long as I have an early case in the morning. Already set up, so we are ahead of the game.
Been doing some reading on the Legacy system as I want to get some trains running. Just a matter of sitting with it and spend some time on the trains.
Well, hope it is a good night for everyone.Dennis

cnw1995 Ugh - if that's the average there's a mismatch between student presumptions / prep and the course. Blaming students - unless the work wasn't done - is such a cop-out.

So true -- I barely remember my college days but what I do recall is that the worst professors (mostly in the education dept.) provided the worst exams, extremely subjective. They were safe in the college of education, would have been eaten alive in a public school. Now graduate school was another matter, loved every course and instructor---sure surprised me and especially my parents

OT,
Thanks for the info on the diner. I remember seeing the Broadway diner at the LHS when it came out, and I deeply regret not picking that up. It looks way better than the LTI pile of plastic crap that I have from 1995.
Fife,
Admire Flyer from a safe distance? Good luck with that. I said the same thing at one point...
Pat,
Increase to 10.
Not having a good day here after getting the test back. The class average was 54.9% and the instructor blamed all of us (so what else is new).
Good afternoon everybody. Real crappy weather here in Philly. Ran on and off all day. Had to work in it to. Did some tactical entries at the shooting house and got some trigger time. Plan on working on the layout since we can't go outside. Can't complain it was 70 and sunny all last week.
Went to Sainsbugs with SWMBO for breakfast AM, got four double, no, triple chocolate chip cookies. Just scoffed the last two as I was catching up on the pot. Sugar will be through the roof tomorrow.
Just heard a police siren, they've collected an oriental nosh up so they'll be resting. Flying tonight Brutus, there's a clear sky and a moderate nor'-westerly blowing across Stockport which will keep the blue bottles grounded.
SIL had a hip replaced Tuesday, tonight he's in the local battle cruiser getting aneasthatised .
It's our budget day Wednesday, so I'm expecting the swine to put three pence a pint on the cost of living and he's also going to screw we motorists, (You should complain) our gas will then be EIGHT DOLLARS A GALLON!!!
UK pensioners got an increase of £1.70 a week, so just to take away any impression that the state may have been generous they shoved £2.40 a week on to our rent..

Roy, You just need to join one of the protected unions and you won't be paying that "cadillac" policy tax til 2018. This is just their first step to a "single payer" system.

Well stated Roy. That 500M that they are taking away 'saving' from medicare they are also saying that it is 'saving' as a down payment to the new plan...double dipping. Kind of like trying to say that you have $50,000.00 in the bank to use as collateral on a loan in which you will be putting that $50K as down payment on a business...just doesn't work that way.
The AG's of 30+ states are planning on bringing this before the courts as it violates the 9th and 10th ammendments. But those in DC don't care about the law, or the will of the people. If the rules won't let them do what they want, they will just ignor them. This, more than the current economy will have a direct impact on ours, and all hobbies.

Morning all!
Already 55 here this morning and the snowstorm is merely a dream now.
It does not matter what side one is on, the new health care plan is going to significantly raise costs to everyone who has health care now. And this does not include the unintended consequences of the current bill. Every law passed ends up with years of "corrections" to fix the serious problems in the new law (unintended consequences). There is no way to add 32 million uninsured folks and not raise costs for everyone. The 32 million cannot afford the $12,000 per year for a family of 4 for basic health insurance (government's stated number) so someone is going to pay. Also note the bill contains a provision as I understand it and as printed in today's paper that those with a "rich" plan (i.e. good benefits) will pay a 40% excise tax (40% is absolutely ridiculous for any tax) that will be fully born by the plan recipiant (even though the company providing the plan is expected to pay the tax it is admitted the cost will be passed onto the recipiant of the plan). As reported this morning the only cost contributor is an expected $500M per year "savings" in efficiencies in Medicare and other government health programs. Apologies - but one cannot build an even bigger government agency to administer all this and use "efficiency" in the same sentence.
Here in Texas we have deregulated electricity and freedom of "choice" for providers and we now pay the highest per KWH in the country.
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy

The 28th Amendment is only a proposal, and in my opinion will never become law.
What is the law is an Executive Order can not trump written law. When the health bill is signed into law, no executive order can change it, even an existing one. The American people have been duped again. I hope Bob K gives me a little leeway on this one.

Good morning everyone,
Not only are statins pricey but they can also damage your liver! I quit taking them and started taking red yeast rice and made a reasonable effort to lower my cholesterol intake. Been doing ok ever since- 60 years under my belt and no heart attack/stroke yet, thank God!
Good morning all. Watching the sad disintegration of our rights unfold on TV right now. Quite a lot of legal issues that hopefully will stop it. Gee, they are saying now that members of congress will have a different health plan than the rest of us...wasn't that one of the chief promises? Oh, never mind.
Chief, yes, Crestor is a statin, and most statins are pricey. They have changed them back and forth for the different health plans. Sometimes, one is listed on your "preferred list", only to be switched with another and then back again. Call your MD's nurse to see if they can switch you back due to the side effects. Then, also check with the pharmacist to see if your insurance will cover brand specific if signed by the MD.
Going to look into a propane weed trimmer from Sears as it would solve the issues of dealing with the ethanol that ruined my last one. It will also be cleaner as I won't have to deal with mixed gas, etc.
God Bless,Dennis
Aloha all. Glad to see so many posting. Prays for Roy's daughter, RT and Sir J - oh heck, I pray for all of youse so there. Boy, someone other than JJ has got to win a race sometime. I wonder why they don't race in the damp - does the track get that slick? The bride outdid herself with an early 'Easter' dinner for some friends she wanted to honor. I'm still stuffed. Tentatively worked out vacation plans for HHI this July. Feel very lucky to plan one. Funny how the youngest perked up as soon as the others left for church yesterday. Not feeling too well myself this morn. Hope it's nothing after the saga of last week. A little warmer today and sunny so the snow's being chased away. I'm reminded this morn of a quote attributed to Otto von Bismarck that goes something like: "laws and sausages have something in common: you should never watch them being made." .
Hmmm, looks like Metra is installed Positive Train Control. That ought to be interesting. It really means the host RRs: UP and BNSF are installing it. South Shore trains not running at all this morning due to 'significant overhead wire damage' - ugh.

Hello from cloudy and cool South Georgia/NE Florida...
Stayed up late to watch my children and my grandchildren loose their future.
I wonder how George Washington feels......must be time for another revolution.
Well, we lost the championship softball game, through no fault of mine---went 2 for 4 and scored twice. Made 2 sparkling plays from behind the plate....yanked out for a guy who could barely play the position...and struck out with players on base for the win...oh well, maybe they’ll learn next year.
Did homework with the princess yesterday, went shopping for bike stuff...yup this week I’ll be riding to work. Had roast beef for dinner and then watched Gene Simmons...another cliff hanger for next week.
Hope to pick up my “new” engine later....pictures soon after.
OK Check ya later...my boss has a project for me...whhooo boooy..
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Damp & 58 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Got 3/4 of the boat bottom finished. Must have looked good, as a couple other guys asked if I'd be interested in painting their's. No thank you. Picked up Thomas after having some high-lights added, and proudly perched him on the living room wall. Wifey wants new lamps now.
Ole Timer - Just lemme know... Had the creeks eased up in Cumberland? they were getting mean this past week.
Good morning all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana. Brutus, glad the new circuitry is working properly and doing the job. Sure would miss those Tardis' trips if it had to go back. Watched "Desperate Housewives". Some of the story lines get a little eccentric, but usually the episodes are good. Not much else to report. I had the regular fare on the dining car. TBIL anytime tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a rainy 50 degrees. Looks like rain all day. Going up to 62 today.
Today is a busy day. The usual chores and I need to finish a project. Then, I will take it easy.
Dining car is on the way. I will be having the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
