They spelled my name with 2 “N’s”, but I’ll survive.

• Why has my health insurance been cancelled?
• Weren’t we promised that we could keep our insurance?
• Why is it that I can’t shop for new insurance until AFTER the election?
• What are the scum that are running for office afraid of by letting me re-insure now?
• Why is it that this (supposedly) Affordable Care Act only screwing over citizens and not the healthcare companies?
• Are the doctors hurting from this?
• Are the insurance companies hurting from this?
• Are the hospitals and clinics getting hurt by this?
• Are the government employees getting hurt by this?

I’m betting the answers to the last 4 questions are no. I hate that son of a bitch that runs this country and I’ve never said that about a sitting president before.

Yep, 4 Mexican cartel guys  were caught by the cops. Now this all happened about 3 miles from our place and it cause a lot of inconvenience for many of the people that lived in that area, including our friend Catherine. The cops had the area blocked of from 3:15 until almost 9:00. Now normally this would be the end of the story, but the disturbing thing is that they caught them as they were walking along the interstate, less than 500 yards from our place.

Our area is ripe for cartel activity and I’m wondering if this is just the start of their moving in here. We are rural, we have more than a few people here that would love to work for them, there’s plenty of places that are perfect for grow operations, and police presence is pretty thin.

So we will now go back to our “same old, same old” routine until the next bit of excitement happens.

Last night we had a bit of excitement out here. It seems that on the road out to the national forest, a road I travel down frequently, had some sort of shooting that happened there. Details were scarce, but rumors abound. I’ll post here once I find out the true poop.

• Erin leaves us today. I blame Tori.
• A beautiful day is in the offing for us, with an even better day in store for tomorrow. I blame Tori.
• Is everyone ready for the partial eclipse? It happens around 3:30 this afternoon, Mountain Time. I blame Tori.
• After I finish this, I plan on heading to the Santa Fe New Mexican website to screw with some hippy environmental liberal types by commenting on an article that showed up this morning. I blame Tori.
• I’ll probably take the Harley out to some distant diner and have lunch out of county. I blame Nina.
• Not really, I blame Tori.
• The morning news crew are the lamest group of people that are paid to look pretty. I hate this insipid shit they say and long for the days when TV news programs were a serious affair. I blame Tori.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Pangu has already launched a Jailbreak for IOS 8.1. While I’ve run a jailbroken phone for years, I don’t subscribe to all the hype about it.  There’s a few very mini things I enjoy from the Cidia store, the biggest is the ability to hide Apple apps that I never use and that Apple make mandatory to see.

If interested, click on this sentence. The Jailbreak is mostly for developers at this point but it usually takes a less than a month before Cydia is included.
