On another side all of a sudden up pop two snow blowers? Now I know this bunch is one of our resident keep up with the Jone's; but except for a guy a block up no snow blowers in area. Also suspect that they were City property? Guy is well connected and uses City tools/ truck all the time. One was being used on a neighbors driveway which was nice. And today (Sunday), was taking care of some of other elderly in the 'hood. Gotta give him an Atta boy for that. The other one just sitting and idling. I stopped giving it any attention after about 20 minutes. As I say over and over, City so flush don't care where money goes or who is using it for what? Hope I am wrong? When it was started by City to have an "open" tool room concept for people to help themselves, suspected some would wander off?
Was a common occurrence when I was a Supply Sgt./ Property Book Officer in the Army. Next thing you would know, Johnny was working on his car at home and "forget" to bring the tools back Monday.
See where the Ayatollahs are going to buy 114 Airbus planes this week.
"We have been negotiating for 10 months" for the purchase of planes but "there was no way to pay for them because of banking sanctions," Iranian state media quoted Akhoundi as saying.
"We need 400 long- and mid-range and 100 short-range planes," he added.
The first batch of new planes will arrive in the country by March 21, he said.
Now can anyone not see how this deal was part of the total Iran Nuclear Agreement to buy off the French? Sure, they talked tough and waved their battle Flags, but more bluster I bet than stones? I suspect was also a slap at Boeing to get another slap at Mr. Obama? Made him crawl, grovel and whine all over the World and then buy from another Country.
Apart from new planes, Iran's airports also need $250 million (230 million euros) worth of upgrades, he said.
Only nine of Iran's 67 airports are currently operational.
The Islamic republic on Saturday signed a $2 billion contract with China to electrify the railway line linking Tehran with second city Mashhad, Akhoundi said.
With all these issues and we could not bring this bunch of bandits to their knee? Sorry, sorry days.
It is becoming more and more obvious as the World laughs at the U.S., some not even bashful about doing it as a full roar belly laugh that the next President can not repair the damage to this Country even if serves eight years him/her self? Will require a major fanny kicking of someone and I don't mean we send in the Marines to Grenada again. And even then, no matter how right we may be, we will be made out to be the "bad guys". I am so ashamed of this guy; He really hates this Country, maybe not as much as his missus, but close enough I fear? Iran says they will negotiate with Boeing later once Treasury allows such activities. Their Treasury or ours is probably truer than not.
Never did get a paper Saturday? I know it was nasty out, but for sure drivable by 9:00- 10:00 AM. And I noticed that the "All Access" Edition had funnies, TV magazine in it today. Hope this carpeting usage for a canary does not try to stop hard copy delivery? I like to read it over a period of several days, not just one and out. And it is for sure expensive to print it out myself. The color costs would be very prohibitive. One can not trust this paper on a good day; not so sure when cold/snowy/ wet/ or cloudy?
As I write this, I have not gotten a paper for Sunday either. Called down to the paper and the young guy who answered was absolutely astounding in his customer service decorum. I could tell from talking with him he was getting a lot of calls from Vienna. Said the Carriers were having problems because of the roads. Now that is interesting as it quit snowing midday on Saturday.
Did get our street plowed twice but only on the one side of the street. But got plowed. However is still odd the paper is having a problem with the streets since it is a reoccurring theme on how we get all plowed and with speed. I admit it sounded odd to hear on one side how they get all plowed and then to hear they cannot get up and down the side streets?
Well, the Truth is out and Ms. Smith and Mr. Bibbee have finally showed their hands just as I noted the other day. Filed for re-election. Two of the worst if not the worst on the City Council behind Mr. Rapp and both I suspect will have their hands out for more Public Feeding at the Taxpayers Trough?
Have to admit I was surprised at the huge "Elect Me" ad in the paper already by Mr. Smith who wants Mr. Nohe's old seat. As soon as I saw his background, I smelled retread and I won't say anymore. Has several terms in Delegates already so is trained in taking care of the connected versus the unwashed.
See where Ms. Whoopi Goldberg is going to move out of the Country if Mr. Trump gets elected. That is a pretty good reason for at least another million to back Mr. Trump in itself. Lady a little to radical for me. And an Awards Program that is clearly titled to represent ONLY one segment of our Society is for sure open to be questioned as racist? More openness in the main stream shows to recognize those who have really been good at something would be a good thing.
It is for sure an interesting time we live in. Locally or round the World. 'nuff said.
