It appears that the US may actually decide to default on money spent.

I think if I call my credit card company, tell them I refuse to recognize various charges, but will keep the merchandise.

Then go to my boss and ask for a pay-cut,  I may be thinking Republican ...  ??.

hi Deb -

new cars rather scare me. After a few years the TV, GPS whole Dashboard etc. will give out. Try getting a new Dashboard for a 5 year old car using obsolete parts.. gads. Of course then there is the backseat TV/Video equipment. They have to fit exactly the same space. no way.

I'd pay extra to get analog meters and mechanical switches any day.

My dad - back in the 60's had a pet peeve against car clocks. They always die after a year and were hard to fix. he told the dealer he wanted it left out. no luck of course. It is just a bigger problem now with newer technology.

My hot water heater needed a new Ignition part (piezo-electric). They quit making them for those heaters. I had to call the manufactor and get a special replacement converter to accept the new parts. It is a relay and a Bic lighter - basically/ gads.

How about the touch-screen "start" button for the car...

The auto parking system is scary. Esp. coupled with the smart help system (Satelite or cell-phone based). One signal (police initiated) to your car and it automatically slows down and parks on the side of the road and shuts off. They, of course, wouldn't add that in would they? (remember the roaming bug in all our cell-phones).

oh well.

Just what have I been doing lately...  madly treading water barely managing to keep my head above the waves.   Well, it feels like that.  My instrument panel in my car went out  - actually it comes and goes - and I'm told by the dealership that it's a "bad cluster".  LOL  Did they leave off a last word?  LMAO   Must have, because it's going to be $1000 to fix it.  I'm dubious.  Investigating alternatives.  Aside from that I've been attacked by red bugs, not sure where they came from, unless my cat has shared some with me.  :-(   not digging this at all.  What else...  let's see.   Finished the new patio construction at my house.  Looks very nice.  Occasional deep thoughts drift by.  I try to catch hold of them but they dissolve quickly.  The feeling lingers but not the thought.  Maddening.  And on top of all that, it's October already!  Hmph.

I was watched MidSommer Murders, which involved a Cricket game between rival Towns (Burroughs?). A home, with two very strict Christians, were talking about Cricket when the wife said that if Jesus ever played a sport, it could only be "Cricket".

Needless to say, after Peter Davison's daughter (Georgia Moffett) married David Tennant - coupled with the fact that Davison, Tennant and Moffett (played a female clone from Tennants Doctor Who) the whole lineage now is rather a cricket-playing Doctor (sporting his Celery-Stalk as a fashion statement)....

 

It is good enough for ME!!  I just got my 24x7 Cricket channel up on the TV  -- I am now happy.

The game will pause for Tea now.

wish there was a thumbs up button for that picture!  for both the sentiment, and that kind of humor.

As to SA Poaching (see post by Grant Halliday).. my wife sent me this.

Thought some would appreciate it.

Basically having a lazy day, enjoying a nice chardonnay, which for me is something 'cause I'm a red wine gal, and trying to approximate a recipe for creamy chicken and brown rice soup I had recently while on a trip.  My lord, it was SO good!   May watch a movie later if my internet will cooperate. Not loving my internet/cable provider lately!  Very spotty connection and lots of ifs, ands, & buts . . . .  :-\
