B.S. & Political Ridicule

Just stuff.

  • So our surveillance system went tits up. Going to the system’s support site, I found that we’ve had it for 13 years.
  • I ordered a new one for $1000 less repeat customer discount. I can’t remember what the amount of the discount, but that’s not important.
  • Our old system had 8 cameras. Our new system has 18 cameras.
  • Why the increase? Over the past 13 years, the intrusions to our property has grown quite a bit and I wish to increase the coverage of the outside areas.
  • I will add cameras to cover the side gate, the gas tank, the old playground area, the back of the building in several locations, the carport, and both the kid’s homes.
  • Currently I’m using the old cameras on the new DVR. The new cameras and monitor arrive today, they say. Andy and I will be installing them, with Andy doing the climbing and adjusting since he’s young with good knees.
  • I am actually posting old news here for the most part. I waited until I had it recording until this got written. No sense letting the shitheads know we were without, right? Since the old cameras worked on the new system, I up and running mostly.
  • I also plan on putting 2 wireless cameras on the pole light by the pumps to show the front of the store and the park & ride lot. Most of the trouble that ends up here seems to start in the park & ride. They will have to wait until I get some new wiring to the top of the pole light. The question, as always, hire an electrician or do it my way? Most likely I’ll do it my way and then have an electrician do it right when I have to hire one next time.
  • At least I know where the breaker switch is for the pole light and I don’t have to to it with live power on top of a ladder.
B.S. & Political Ridicule

Black names for hurricanes.

This is why I keep saying “I am glad I am old”
Now it’s Black hurricanes….There’s no end to stupidity of some United States elected officials.

Just when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the US — this comes along…

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about.

A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.
She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal.
I am NOT making this up!
She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in ‘language’ that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn’t understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140 MPH, that’s too hard to understand.

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says…
“Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin’ fo’ yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!
Bitch be a category fo’!
So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo’ chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo’ de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit.”
