Last of the old cell pictures
I found these old pictures on the cell phone so I figure I’ll tell the story about them for prosperity.
Sometime last October Mark and I were out riding around downtown, afterwards we go to Moes’ in Ansley. After we come out (this is in probably the most left-leaning neighborhood in a very Democratic city) we see this bumper sticker,
which really stood out in terms of humor and originality. All the other bumper stickers (on around 90% of cars) were fairly juvenile and stale.
We exchanged a good chuckle and I took the picture (note reflection).
Up comes a large steroidal guy who sees me taking the picture and goes “You want to see a good bumper sticker, look at this one”. We then go to his car and he has this one.
He then mistook my saying “That’s pretty good too” (which it is) for “Elaborate on the topic. Tell me all your feelings on immigration and how your background informed your opinion; don’t omit anything. Go back generations in your family if you have to but make sure I understand your position completely.”
Which he did for the next 20 minutes or so.

I figure out Bluetooth
Yay Hosanna
To trick it into searching and detecting Bluetooth items again, all you have to do is
- Click on the mRouter Icon in the tray
- Deselect one of the virtual Com ports that Bluetooth uses
- Wait About 3 Seconds
- Select that Same Port again
That will force the Bluetooth card to scan the area again for paired devices, which will allow it to find the phone, or it does for my Nokia 3650 anyway. Oh the joy of tieing up loose ends.

Musings
Two links for my thoughts today
- Instapundit on the ever growing meme of Nuclear Power, which is long overdue IMHO
- I forget how I got to this link, but it is yet another examination of RKBA and the second amendment.
On the whole a low day today, just some bland work.

Bluetooth Update
I finally got everything installed properly, the problem wound up being the drivers that came with the device; the default windows drivers work just fine. However, you have to do everything in the proper order, and reboot after each installation, which for 3 distinct pieces of software is a pain.
And below is an interesting photo from last year, it is from the photo shoot I did with Julie at Georgia State.

Dreamcatcher Guitar Workshop
The Lawrence Juber workshop at Dreamcatcher was interesting. There’s no denying that he’s an incredibly talented and innovative player, as well as a master of different tunings. He seemed to be playing a bit too much for the guitar nerd (which is his market) and it wound up being something of an acoustic Satriani, which is good, but not to my taste. -
It must be the phone
Or possibly all Bluetooth software. It’s surprisingly difficult to find proper drivers for all this. Oh well.

You can’t beat cool
Tim from Neighbor’s Heating and Air (I did the site some time ago) just left after fixing my air conditioning and I have to say; quality really shows. The other two people I’ve had over here over the years both were constantly going back and forth to the outside unit and inside, before pronouncing that I had a Freon leak somewhere.
Tim (who also pronounced the Freon leak) just pronounces “Oh it’s a Lennox A-83” twists some knobs on the inside unit and does everything from there. And then it got very cold….

China and India
While various members of the Commentariat (I’m looking at you Charlie Rose) talk quite a bit about the “peaceful rise of China” articles like this one about Indian Medical Vacations make me think that it will be India that will rise much higher. China seems to be putting a lot of effort into posturing lately, and their currency machinations will come back to bite them big time.

Unbelievable
I just pulled a chicken bone out of my dog’s throat. Who doesn’t know that dogs choke on those?
Here I am walking my dog (on a leash, as always) on my private (but physically accessible to outsiders property) and I notice my dog acting a bit funny. After a quick check his mouth seems a bit strange so I open it up, see the bone, and then have to pull it out of his freaking throat. He’s fine now but who doesn’t know that chicken bones kill dogs? And what the hell are they doing littering on private property anyway?
No one who lives in this condo complex ever actually parks there (it’s not that convenient to any of the units) and the only person I’ve ever seen there is some woman checking a map, though I’ve seen her do that several times.
