Hey, Kalifornia.

Nope. American households were hit with a second month of rapidly rising prices in February, undermining the Biden administration’s claims that its policies were reducing inflation and dampening hopes for a Fed rate cut in the next few months. The consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in February, faster than the January increase and the fourth consecutive monthly increase. Compared with 12 months earlier, the headline index is up 3.2 percent, a larger increase than the 3.1 percent annual gain recorded in January. Economists had forecast a 0.4 percent increase in the month-t0-month figure but thought the annual figure would come in a tick lower at 3.1 percent.

I'm not either, but unless I want to change Dr.s, I guess that I'll have to deal with it.

Not so much. When I drove, I made it a point to NOT block anybody anywhere. Sometimes it can't be helped, but if that's the case I'd at least try to let somebody know and get permission, and be done as fast as I could. Now today, with all the East European, (Russin, Ukrainian, etc,) imports driving, I can't say for sure.

I was at my quarterly Dr.s appointment last week at One Medical, formerly Iora. For those that don't know, it's a fairly comprehensive medical facility, nation wide I think, that is a provider for Medicare patients. Every Practitioner there used to have their own assistant who would call you back to the exam room, ask the usual "How are you?" type questions, take your weight, blood pressure, etc., enter all info onto the Tablet that they ALL carry to prep both you and the Dr. for your visit. This person would stay in the room and basically transcribe your entire visit, look up anything that you might have a question about on the Interweb, and anything else that the Doc needed during your visit. When you were done, the assistant would make notes of the important parts of the visit, (new prescriptions, diet changes, or whatever), print it out for you, set up follow up appointments, off site Labs and just about anything else the Doc needed that allowed the Doc to perform his/her primary function. This assistant was notably absent from my last visit. I casually asked about it, and my Doc said that their new Overlords had made some cuts. She said that it had been a Bad Day around there that day. One Medical had been bought by Amazon. So Amazon is getting into Healthcare now too.

In the case you mention, (It's from an NCIS episode in case anybody didn't get that), I presumed that nobody wondered why he ran, because they thought that he was running from the crazy woman that just attacked him for no reason. There might also be the opinion that he's an Arab, and while not necessarily a terrorist, they have a reputation of not being willing to fight anybody who can and will fight back, at least not face to face.

I'm too old and fat to run. And I've never frozen up.

As Hank Jr. said, "They want you to send your money to the Lord but they give you their address".

Ya know, I don't have problems like that on my computer.

My wife like bears. I have this sign, along with other metal signs, some with bears, some without, on one wall of the living room.

With a copy sent to each Hotel/Motel and their home office informing them how much business they're losing out on.

That seems to be a recurring theme these days.

Rule 18: It's better to seek forgiveness that ask permission.

Sorry to hear this. I guess that the only good thing you can take from it is that you son wasn't among them. And that maybe other young people will learn from it.

If you go to the address on Google Earth, the building is labeled as Republic Ammunition.

Nooo! If you load a 9mm bullet into a .38, then you drop a piece of 9mm brass that you picked up at the range.

If you really wanted to confuse them you could load a 115gr 9mm bullet in a .38 case. It wouldn't be accurate at range, but up close it would be fine.

Youtube. I did a search and immediately found 9 videos, including one on how to cheat it. And before you ask, I'd bet that they could find it on their phone AS they were stealing the car.

Money talks though. Next time he goes to make a movie, whoever he pays will be right there.

And if I were a betting man, I'd bet that Baldwin gets away with his part.

Not if it were ME. Any time I had a conference with a foreign leader, It would take place at a range of some sort. There would be a quiet subtext of, "I could have killed you at any time, but I didn't. Can we be friends now?" Which is just one of the MANY reasons why I would never be elected to office.

When you leave the Pima Air Museum, head East on Valencia. It curves a couple times, but it will come up to Houghton Rd. That's where the Ace Hardware is. For Breakfast or Lunch, there's a place called "Cappy's Breakfast Cafe" on Prince Rd. just East of I-10. It's not far from the University. He makes good pancakes and great Mexican food.

Moon camouflage and space camouflage?

Do you think he's want to?
