Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep hole.

"Wow…that looks deep." "Sure does… toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is."

They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait… no noise.

"Jeeez. That is REALLY deep… here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise."

They pick up a couple of football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait… and wait. Nothing.

They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey…over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise."

The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole.

Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as it's legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole.

The two men are astonished with what they've just seen…

Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over.

"Hey… you two guys seen my goat out here?"

"You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"

"Nah", says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie."

Yup MIA ;-( I have started writing my criminal indictment of the chity. Citing psychological studies showing their decisions to risk lives are intentional and vindictive. That should be first degree arson and murder if they continue ignoring safety standards the same as corporate managers, eh? Probably won t change without the death penalty for both the perpetrators and the victims. Why should the victims be the only ones to pay that price?

- TopamaxSurvivor

If you pen it like a proper indictment, you could share it with someone in the DA s office (you might have to do some digging to find the right person to listen to logic) and it might convey the message. Sure, there s nothing that can be done from the standpoint of moving houses farther away from each other, but code enforcement and proper inspections can go a long ways toward making the situation safer. Personally, I hope you re off in the woods at your tree farm when the big one hits and several million coastal dwellers lives are put in jeopardy. If it turns out the way you think it will, you ll only need a neighbor s texted pictures of what used to be your property to forward to your insurance agent. You can then walk away from it all with a check in hand and put the lot on Ebay with no reserve. That almost happened with my neighbor s burned house up the road at our property. Contractor left a halogen light on that caught something on fire upstairs, he got out with the dogs & kids, wife was away on business and the whole place went up like a tenderbox. Took the money and ran then sold the lot with a house needing scraped off super cheap to the guy at the end of the road who invested $5K for cleanup (his own truck, equipment and crew) then doubled his money 4 months later when he sold it.

I would hate to be home in the worst case scenario. Our house and the one beyond us will be inside the fireball; over a 135 foot radius ;-(( That will probably be during the magnitude 9 earthquake if it happens. The fire chief says seismic issues are out of their workload. Interesting, eh? Seems like he would know fire is the number one secondary concern during earthquakes. They are building burn flat developments here with houses as close as 5 feet apart. We are supposed to be prepared to be without services for 2 weeks. Lots of houses will probably burn.

A Canadian friend who was fire boss on fires that made their own weather and uprooted trees told me Slave Lake and Fort McMurray burned flat due to that style of development. He said the only way to stop the fire is to bulldoze a fire break about a block wide in front of the fire. Our odds are probably better by the tank then in a burn flat development. I have an intrinsically safe gas detector. I told my neighbors if they see a red flag on my pole instead of the American flag, we have evacuated. First responders are not supposed to get within 150 yards and the minimum evacuation distance is ¼ mile.

I received this from state emergency office:

"I reached out to our State Hazard Mitigation Officer about this, and unfortunately, there isn't an avenue that the State can use to help out with this situation.

"The enforcement of these codes is something that needs to happen at the city level, so the only advice I could provide for that is continuing to raise awareness about the issue, possibly among those whom it may impact, such as the first responders and CERT volunteers to whom this would be a hazard - getting more community voices behind an issue that could impact them is always a good option for helping to bring about safety-related changes. I wish we could provide more than that."

Those responses should be good additions to my evidence collection, eh?

I could get longwinded here, but I will keep it brief.

Do The People of the US have a say in which initiatives get codified into Law? As they do in Switzerland?

- wildwoodbybrianjohns
Pond looks great. Gonna plant salmon? ;-))

We do have initiatives in states which are about the size of Switzerland. Proportional representation and Swiss pure democracy were not dreamed up until 100 years after the Golden Age when the US was founded. We will never have a Constitutional Convention; too much corruption to risk it.

My song pick: Amazing Grace performed by Pipes and Drums of the Scottish Highlands. I think that fits under the heading Classical.

C125, thanks, today I will get some fish, and maybe some water lillies too, and a frog if I can net one. And same fr me, no vino, only grain-based nutrition. They do produce some most excellent wines here on Mallorca.

And that was an excellent Goat joke, I will be retelling that one at dinner tonight.
