g’evening pups

Suzanne!
I’ll get’em!

Thanks, Girl……you’re a star in my pool!

Suzanne!!!!!
How doing? How doggie doing?

And is tomorrow the big trek? Exciting to be moving to more beauty. Enjoy.

Well! When is the last time you dived?

Hah. See your Canned Heat and raise you the BoDeans live in a club date. Just got back and they were totally awesome.

how’s everyone doing tonight? i can see the light at the end of the tunnel – and it is not an oncoming train.

the final clean tonight, pack the last things in the pod tomorrow morning and i’m good to go.

bodeens.. dayam dr no pause dick, i’m forking jealous :)

as a teen… many decades ago

token is still upset – he keeps jumping off the sofa, onto the rug, back to the sofa, back to the rug. bailey has refused to come in (other than to eat) since yesterday. they know and they don’t like it.

Me, too. I swam and dived in my 4H camp, and our local pool club.

Brindle sends a nose sniff to Token.
And, you are such a trooper.
Tomorrow you will not be driving alone. We’ll all be traveling with you. In our minds.

OUCH.. that little hiccup hurt

tech crew is working on it

Y’all quit hoggin’ the towels now!

Just keep hollering, “Road trip!” It worked for John Belushi.

That was one hell of a bump on the information super highway.

thanks demi

the real journey starts thur when i head up the coast :) taking the scenic route up 101

its 106 miles to chicago, we’ve got half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we are wearing sunglasses

hit it

Digg it!

Dugg!

OMG! Obama’s made his pick!

dugg and thanks dood…

I hope you don’t get road sick. I know you know. That’s a real twisty road. It’s going to be beautiful.

Way cool! I really like her stuff. Reminds me of MoTown in my adolescence (including the fact that I am not getting laid).

sorry, but the official Digg is HERE…

Aloha, Suz! The Bulgarian judge docked ya .5 again…! ;-)

Here’s an interesting political ‘toon…

Just A quick drive… have company down from Humboldt way…. Hope everyone is doing well… Engineer came by to map out the Solar system, now they do the actual plans and get all the permits… work should start in about three weeks… Be back later!!

dr. dick, left you a note last thread.

i was checking out the bodeans link before i went to bed, look wwhat i found

‘closer to free’ with a montage of blue america candidates and funny gop pictures.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

click on the ‘down with tyranny1′ name, and there’s more really cool stuff. music and political…thinkin’ we may know him…

safe travels suz..

geez i’m turning into a nightowl again.

lights out.

Yeah, she is pretty damn talented. Even managed to make a White Stripes song not suck.

I beat you by a minute, nahant…

Busted!

only as a passenger on 1. i used to say i was raised in a car until my mom made me stop – my first memory is of a road trip from va to ca – i was 3 and woke up and was in awe of the lights driving through kansas city. we always took car trip vacations and i drove cross country with my mom when i was 16 almost 17. i drove for a living – in that patrol car for 10 hours a day.

i love driving and i love road trips. this is gonna be great.

double dugg – thanks pups

ct, that bulgarian can kiss my ass and shove that .5 deduction …..

Look at the time stamps…

Umm, Dude, get yer money back, Pronto!
Someone already told us where Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and several other celestial objects are, for free!

I want to know why anybody is paying attention to someone who does not currently hold office and is not running for anything. This is ridiculous. I frankly do not give a half a damn about the private life of any candidate unless it has the potential to affect their decisions in office (Vickie Iseman anyone?) or reveals a pattern of pervasive hypocracy (paging Mr. Craig).

hey busted, is the pnw ready for me?

Obama vacation update here… He saw ‘Dark Knight’ last night, played hoops with some HS buds at Punahou’s gym, had a local plate lunch at Ala Moana Beach Park and has his big fundraiser at the Kahala Mandarin Hotel this evening…!

History Boys — Rufus LWW III

10 hour days? Yikes.
It is gonna be great. I’m so happy for you.
And, I’m pooping out here. I wanted to stay up for gymnastics…but, I’m not sure.
Nighty nite pups.

Hugs Suz, and happy journey!

i thought he was on vacation and was getting some down time – that doesn’t sound like a very private vacation ct. dayam near included what he at

a while ago it said yours was 4 minutes ago and mine was 3

I looked for you before I Dugg, but didn’t see you here

Night Demi.

hey margot.. thanks – i plan on having a grand adventure

Lol!
As long as ya don’t acknowledge me, you will be fine.
I’m thinking you are going to be very fucking happy to be on the coast the next few days, the forecast is 98 to 100 on Thursday, inland. I might be ,actually, South of you on Thursday, A Memorial service.

g’nite demi

yikes – and i’m sorry to hear of your loss

we will hook up busted, soon :) i can’t wait to meet ya dood. jen has stayed on her side of the river yanno.

On The Road Again…Willie

When I say my prayers for all of you, I might add a special please let Dr. Dick get laid, if that’s okay with you. :)

I agree about the privacy part, but, he’s getting some classic Hawaiian down time, he was even wearing slippahs at the beach with Michelle and the girls, people are respecting his personal space and he’s giving out autographs to everyone he meets… In a side note, plenty of varied protesters had lined up at the Hotel that’s hosting the fundraiser… Waving signs like; “Stop Torture”, etc…!

keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel

Radar Love

A good place for her, she ain’t ready fer the likes of me, you might not be either.
I look forward to seein’ ya.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Smooches.

Good for you, nahant. What is the ballpark cost?

oh yeah… remember that 1,000 drummers radar love video i put up back when i first started hosting late late nite? that’s a great road trip song for sure

I appreciate the gesture, though I have to ask what you have against the fellow members of your sex (remember that I am a fat old man)? 8-)

thanks dood – i’m gonna hold ya to that 200 mile promise

another road song

There is someone for everyone. And, the woman who is smart enough to take you on would be lucky.

With all that hiking and biking ya do…? ;-)

Love your attitude, Suz. You inspire for sure.
I cannot think of Canned Heat without remembering being in the back of a black Chevy van with lots of friends. Mattress, no seats at all. Smokin’ times.

hit the road jack

Bo does that bring back memories (or at least partial ones). ;-)

I have lost a total of ten pounds. I am now only 40 pounds overweight.

Panama is certainly a grand adventure…

volkswagen van :)

Lemme know.

Yep.

Hey, night sleepers.

Shit! 6 seconds UNDER world record time!

OK, 5…

some guys to travel with

Leasing the system with zero down and lease payments offset electric bill so we still save close to $100 per month average!

well its all right

sweet, nahant.. that is forking great

Suz when do you actually shove off for the great northwest?

i head3 down to npb’s tomorrow late afternoon and spend the nite and head out for the great pacific northwest from carmel thur morning-ish

Definitely worth staying up to watch the delayed ‘live’ action on the west coast.

Another student from my alma mater in Austin, Ricky Berens, swimming the third leg on that last Phelps world record relay.

how kewl, muzzy

pac NW ? I understand you’re moving – big congratulations for that being realized. But did I catch it right, you’re moving to a locale on the coast north of Cali that has a bridge and an aquarium ?

i’m moving from the monterey bay area (which has an aquarium) up the the newport oregon area (temporarily) which also has an aquarium

Woody

There’s fish up there, too?

newport has a large fishing fleet and lots of seafood. its the south end of my search area. i don’t know if they get salmon runs there – i know there are salmon in oregon, just not sure of the where’s. i’ve gotten used to watching wild salmon sex from the deck here – hope to see them up there too.

SAN DIEGO – The commander of a Navy air reconnaissance squadron that provides the president and the defense secretary the airborne ability to command the nation’s nuclear weapons has been relieved of duty, the Navy said Tuesday.

wilson

fuck – did he turn out to not be a yes man?

ramblin

So he will resign his commission, and yap because he got fucked, or he will stay in and keep the “personal nature” of the investigation private?

midnight rider

did he refuse to nuke Russia?

Plenty of Salmon up there Suz in both the coastal rivers and the Columbia… There is fishing all year log… my oldest son loves to fish, he goes at least once or twice a week! SteelHead fishing is great up there also..

There is no way of knowing what is up, but it sure seems that things are rocky at the top.

-G

Newport is what I was thinking. There is an aquarium there, and

a bridge

May you find health and happiness there.

And yes, there are abundant salmon runs in Oregon up several rivers. I know there are spring Chinook runs as far south as the Rogue River, you should be in business.

Citizen Suzanne:

Can’t have no “uppities” in charge of the aircraft that will enable Darth Cheney ta blow us up…is anyone watchin’ some a the command and control shit that’s been happenin’ lately…my tinfoil hat is ready ta melt!

Ho Nahant, Now order one of those compressed air cars and charge with your own compressor (my dream).
Just broke the world record for rowing across the bay 1.5 miles=2400 one way,meters (my world) and totaled my boat trailer. Get a better axle tommorow.
So what do athletes think about…food. So I put together a 16 inch pizza the dough was 1.5 inches thick…could eat only three pieces. It was a culinary beaut I took a pic will send you and your truely wed a digital pic. The recipe, naturally,is classifies only NSA and I know. Grind montana organic red spring wheat, gluten flour, yeast and a few other googies and naturally hot pepper. Hope you are all well.

i get steelhead here. i just gotta find a place on the ocean and if i can’t, my next best is a place on a creek or river. ain’t gonna be in a big city that’s for sure.

hey norske, ct has been keeping track of it and there was a post up over at the group news blog about the navy buildup.

thanks, muzzy, happiness is my goal. i want it all and i want it now (laughing). i do have faith that i will find what i need and will know it when i find it.

1,732 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Suzanne:

Watchin’ “wild Salmon sex” and listenin’ ta Canned Heat…it doesn’t get any better’n that, Sister Suz!

KEEP THE FAITH AND REMEMBER SEX IS HERE TA STAY NO MATTER WHAT THE EVANGELICALS WILL TELL YA!!

(laughing) you must not have read my profile over at my place. i fear i am just a consultant now so its vicarious when i watch that wild salmon sex

bb, you are sounding stronger each row. pretty soon you gonna start rowing out past the bay and i would not be surprised to hear that you had rowed to hawaii and was visiting ct.

“But a source close to the investigation told The Associated Press that Bentley’s removal regarded an undisclosed personal matter”

maybe he was a bad, nasty, naughty boy

Can’t say I blame you… lots of very nice places near the ocean and still on creeks and rivers…

NO dice on the link, neuro

linkie no good neuro

The whole frigging world is on a tripwire.

yeap and close enough to get the coastal weather that mitigates the really hot summer days like busted was talking about upthread. i carry my own personal summer around with me – don’t need extra.

The airforce lost track of 5 live hydrogen bombs a while back. Bushco admin is an accident about to happen. Could have saved a lot of trouble with impeachment. Now the navy is srewing the poor pooch. Bush/Cheney to “quit it” Putin tells them to fuck off and die. So thet are still killin in Georgia. Nancy and the Dem leaders are in a world of spineless shame.

try this

the only down side to taking a trip is i always miss some big story. was houseboating on lake shasta when iran conta broke and by the time i hit shore a week later, they were talking about it but i had missed all the basic who did what that came out at first.

jealous and not disgusted was my reaction

A family friend who is retired and living north of Newport on the coast in Pacific City spends every day that weather permits taking his dory “brown betty” out to sea to drop crab pots or to fish for salmon, halibut and other tasty fish. Pretty amazing what he hauls in with a dory, some rods, a gaff, and a gun (for the halibut). He’s a bonafide gourmet chef to boot.

His favorite simple recipe for any white fish:

coat with a portion of olive oil that’s been mixed with ample amount of minced garlic then tumble the steak in a mixture of pulverized dried bread crumbs and parmesean. Bake at 350-375 for 20-25.

.

From the I didn’t know that files:

Although the two countries are committed to reducing nuclear stockpiles under a 2002 arms agreement, Russia still has an estimated 7,200 nuclear warheads, compared with 5,730 for the United States, according to the Center for Defense Information.

From McLatchey’s analysis on the Russian military.

jesus fucking christ
Ill and in Pain, Detainee Dies in U.S. Hands

pacific city and that whole around tillamook area is on my list. i’m thinking maybe nahalem bay south to newport but would prefer to be further north. that puts me 2 1/2 hours away from portland and i would like to be a wee bit closer.

this is so fucking wrong. bastards.

Hey Nuero..I’m rollin in the aisles Larry Craig dissin Billy Boy. These guys are real chanpion cheese eaters.That is too funny you just made my week, Thank you. Pot calls kettle black and get busted too funny all these self righteous politicos.

ok, pups, the front bedroom is all cleaned and ready to go. i still have to vacuum the back bedroom and mop the hall and bathroom.

tomorrow, after getting up, the sofa goes next door along with the living room rug and the eggs etc left in my fridge. i only have to mop the kitchen, wax the living room and lock the door after i put the tv, one lamp, two fans and the vacuum in the pod.

g’nite all and thanks for hanging with me tonight. i’ll be offline traveling but will be here (fingers and toes crossed) sat nite for toons. i’m hoping to find wifi along the road and think i may be able to pop into the comments at late nite or late late nite to say howdy.

be sure to put on your rugby jerseys and keep lurk on his toes while i’m gone.

have a great road trip Suzanne

I hope some of the tunes put you in the mood

nite all

the nice thing about pacific city is that Hwy 101 ducks inland and doesn’t run through it, so it’s just hidden. There’s something like one stop light in the whole place, but I think it’s blinking red. It’s got a haystack rock in thw water and significant elevation less than 1/2 mi inland. On top of that, the Nestucca River meets the Pacific ocean right there where the little town is (salmon and steelhead) so there’s a river and the ocean in a hidden place. Oh yeah, and they have one of the best native Oregon brew pubs in the state right there on the beach – Pelican Brew Pub. shhhhhhhh.

Good night Suzanne
wind at your back and all that
see you on the flip

nite neuro

Anybody here married with a Joint bank account that might be over FDIC limits? It seems that Family Values have gotten screwed for rich people? ... well maybe not rich enough to matter?

An FDIC spokesman said the reduced figure stemmed from the agency’s work since July 11 to identify jointly held accounts, trust accounts and other ways that customers had structured their deposits to stay within FDIC insurance limits.

Joint accounts are a common way to get around the FDIC insured limit. I’ll have some more comments on this, but I think the FDIC will find this is common with failed banks, since the banks actively marketed this method of having more FDIC insurance.

http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/

And the light lower, the dummer rolls the moon sets on Bear Creek the steelhead will have their last hurrahs below sleeping Suzanne for she has flown off into the sunset..never more no never more shall she sleep above the spawning fishes in the redwood forrest,
Well now enough alas a lack for in a few moons she is coming back for Token and kitty to take them to their new home in Oregon so Token can tinkle in thr great northwest coast forrests. Where the loggers lay their ladies on their ferns in the forrest floor under the canopies and their children climb the mountains to their tops all the while calling out the names of the native flowers. Ahh sigh where the are is never dry and the mold blows free. Ahh the pollen on the air.

I wonder how much the Bush Family trusts keeps in a bank account at any given time?
Or Cindy McCain’s trust, where do they do their banking? I wonder if any important GOPers got the heads up before the FDIC said joint accounts are over the limit?

Isn’t this taxing Married people more than single people? I think we have a campaign issue for the antitax crowd.

Ahh the Great micrbrewed beer:)

Roses grow like weeds

When you control or share control of essential resources, your money is everywhere and nowhere.
You could argue that every penny given to contractors of the private type during the ChimpCo regime is money in the bank to them.

Every day it rains except in the summer

Right now I’m worried about the money being nowhere Bush’s base is not going to like that their joint accounts were not FDIC insured.
Why would Bush screw his own? Perhaps because he doesn’t have the cash?

If they saw this disaster coming, or in fact engineered it (as seems likely), they told their “protectors” to ensure their escape and survival. That will include “friends” and some co-conspirators, I assume.
But that “base” may shrink precipitously and soon.

Hey Suzanne, have a wonderful trip! Tell Token and Bailey that all is well, and that you’ll be back for them soon to bring them to their terrific new home.

Best wishes for a safe trip….

looking at his photo, I’d say he either was asked and told or someone outed him

John Bovenzi, who was named to head the Pasadena bank when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took control of it July 11, said in a memo to the staff today that “it now appears that there were about $600 million in uninsured deposits” when the government seized the lender.

That’s 40% less than the FDIC’s original $1-billion estimate.

http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/

That is $400 million dollars lost because some rich people put their money in a joint bank account they thought it would be covered, the bank also thought that they would be covered thats why the FDIC’s original estimate was for $1 Billion dollars in losses.

But that “base” may shrink precipitously and soon.

I’m wondering how $400 million dollars translates into votes from Probable Republican to I can’t believe George Screwed me for a Million Democrat?
Another few bank failures and we will start carrying all kinds of 90210 type zipcodes that nobody would think would go our way.

Bentley’s removal, which was first reported by The Navy Times, is the latest in a series of high-profile firings by the Navy.

Last month, the Navy relieved the commander of the USS Pearl Harbor of duty after the ship ran aground in the Persian Gulf. That was followed days later by the announcement the Navy fired its commanding officer and executive officer of the USS George Washington after a fire onboard the nuclear-powered aircraft caused $70 million in damage.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200…..nder_fired

Something is going on?

Two single people can put in the full amount I take it but if they get married and get a joint account they are only FDIC insured for the amount one person can put in if I understand this right?
Marriage Penalty!
Lets take a supposed GOP strength and turn it back on them.

Suz keep your feet dry or the toe cheeze fermentation will spread to the toe nails!

I’m sure Suzanne will be heartened by your advise :-)
