Notes

I paid bills. there was a bit left over to pay the savings account back. There was a little left to pay off the extra couple bucks we had to put on the credit card last month. Natalie helped me keep the bills down to one date night, gas, bred and bananas. She is brilliant on keeping it cheap when she wants to be.

One of the podcasts I listen to was all about the corruption in China. It sounds a bit like what goes on right here in the U. S., just more intense. Local officials use their pull to get things that they do not have coming. Politicians are the same regardless of capitalism, socialism, communism, or whatever. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Many companies spoken to about job growth say it isn't that they don't want to hire more people. It is that they do not have the money to do so.

I put in a lot of hours at work. I am not a workaholic. I've known people who could not sit still for three minutes. They had to be doing something productive or constructive or destructive every moment. They surely dreamed about building bridges.

One of the highest theft items is razorblades. I can believe it. Have you seen the price of razorblades? Well, unless you have a disease or subscribe to a short list of beliefs, you have to deal with the cost of razorblades.

Southwest Airlines just added mechanical problems to their "act of god" list right along side storms, earthquakes and high winds. This means you cannot get a refund if they have a problem with their own plane. Bastards.
