ndfg and Suz,

Working against the Walker wrecking crew has me waking from the lazy boy for a another round (of fighting).

To make things safer for children getting on the school bus each morning the WI Repug Assembly forwarded their bill to sell alchohol at 6:00AM as if there was not already enough time for state drunks to imbibe.

not as cold as last night but still frosty *brrr* i’m hoping that rain hurrys up and gets here so i can take off the blanket i’m wearing like a sarong over my fleece layers (laughing — i’m such a wuss)

I admit, yes, chilly is relative.

lol, nice :)

Aloha, ndfg…! We’re having another meetup this Friday, we’re planning on discussing what to do next, such as starting to occupy some public space…!

going to brownsville

Fall is here for now, lows around 35 F overnight, highs today 45F. bit of rain possible. Spinach is loving it, so far. Further office training for recall work tomorrow.

here’s one of my fave Ry songs, his great cover of Leadbelly’s Bourgeois Blues

coolio!

brrrr – i saw colorado got a buttload of snow today — heard it was 80 there just a couple days ago. is that snow headed your way?

idk, I hear tell she got busted!

as any fair cat would wont.

oh that’s sweet! i’ve always liked this one

Fortunately you are not alone, new legislation to further for profit schooling at the expense of public schools is on the horizon. There will be opportunities across the river for you to participate.

i figure she had to be out of jail in order to leave that comment on the occupy oakland thread about getting arrested with about 30 folks at occupy albuquerque last night

bailey cat has decided to occupy the sofa… i think she heard cat breath on twitter had an occupy the couch thing going on and decided oregon needed to represent

My sibling in Denver says if the sun comes out it usually melts by noon.

But not another peep since…? 8-(

he is a hottie! heh.

Mcat is occupying the tops of my socks when I sit at the desk for more than three minutes.

with carlos

Heee he

token claimed the area around my feet as dog territory. he’s got his bed right there. occasionally bailey cat will curl up in his bed but its usually designed to entice token out from under the wood stove so that she can switch places with him

probably sleeping. she had a very loooong night

There are two masters of slidey instruments of all sorts, from all sorts of countries, who are alive and still performing and working in one form or another.

Ry Cooder, is one. A master of so much it’s insane. He scores, writes, plays movie music, performs, records, archives, produces, and more for audio musics.

He’s been incredible, his body of work is huge, if one delves into his discography and general credits.

The other is David Lindley. I don’t know if Lindley has scored and written for movie music, but he’s done everything else, played and mastered anything with strings to pluck and slide on.

He’s just as much as a legend and contributor to it all as Cooder is.

Bless them both, n thanks for some Cooder, Suz, very timely choice and as always with COODER, tasty as shit.

How’s all FireBaggers?

Great webinar today!

*G*

hey larue — was good to hear your voice again dood. how’s sac tonight?

I’ll get a note to you when you wake at noon.

Days in the hi to mid 70′s, breezes now, lows in hi 40′s/50′s.

Stuff’s still growin!

Still tryin to catch up thru comments . . . lol always late I iz.

HILO WORTHY HOSS!

*heh* No worries, Hoss…! ;-)

Great hearing ya too…!

cooder and lindley

Heh, Suz, just saw that clip in yer comment was from The Catalyst, ’87!

Missin it much? ;-)

Had TOTALLY forgotten he was with Capt. Beefheart and from CA!!!

WOW, ’73 . . . .

sometimes i do — othertimes i don’t. most of the time, what i miss the most are the music exposures i had when living in santa cruz county.

Who’s BG, thot it was Swopa got busted last night?

lol! I am now a follower *g*

Nice playlist tonight, broadband at both appointments tomorrow, thanks for hosting, Suzanne, my 65 was to you, I keep forgetting to let the myFDL toolbar to load so the reply button sticks. Niters everyone.

Hey folks.

So I need some advice. I lost my iPod Touch at a hotel downtown. I have a feeling it worked it’s way into the black market for lost and stolen items. I’ve been scanning Craigs list looking for descriptions of one like mine. I think I found one. I’ve contacted the person ‘the fence’ and if she hasn’t sold it already I’m got to see if it is, in fact, mine.

So how do I do the whole exchange. I have the serial number of the iPod, and I know the password. But they might have done the password 10 times and scrambled the data already.
What do I do if say, it’s my iPod, and they have it. I have a serial number but no paper work. I can identify it with the crack in the body but that seems lame.

I’m thinking if it is mine I can say, “Well it looks like you found my IPod I’d like to give you are 40 dollar reward. (Instead of accusing them of not turning it into housekeeping/lost and found at the hotel)

What do you think? Frankly I’m kind of scared I’m not used to dealing with stuff like this.

Incredible . . . wow.

*sigh* it must be nice :)

bgrothus — she’s a new mexico pup who is often in lln

here’s the link to her comment

swopa got arrested?

g’nite nonq

hey spocko — FUCK!!! do ya have one of those find my ipad/iphone thingies?

KIller, as the youtube comments state, I know this one from a Mayall album in the 60′s with Clapton on git . . . . had a vinyl, lost that one long ago sadly . . . yer on it, gal . . . fine fine tunage.

trying to make up for last night *g*

Maybe bg is being arrested again as we speak…! ;-)

i’m gonna continue to be in touch with my inner pollyanna and think that she is sleeping and resting up.

Looks like SF Bay Area is ground zero in Occupy America, Spocko.

One last refresh and there is my inspiration, (only for Walker recall tactics) appearing on the thread. I initiated a couple of ideas to put Walker, Repug voters on the spot about the recall, in public, to make some points favoring the recall.

Ipod, bring a friend with you, it seems you’ve thought it through, good luck.

Heck yes Ma’am, I’m eatin fresh basil daily still! N some cherry orange maters, some lil yellow pear maters. Rosemary and thyme to spare.

Two of the heirlooms are now flowering the past two weeks, with fruits starting to set! Thot they were dead as hayall from red spyder mytes . . . life is weird out here weatherwise . . . *G* been a VERY kewl n wet spring, summer n now extended warmer temps but not burning in sept thru now . . .

paris, texas

Ah, today’s webinar, thot you and others said Swopa!

It was BG . . . apparently, bless her!

What happened last night?

*whew*

elvis bombed

I hope this song gets as much exposure as possible — it’s a perfect anthem for the Occupy movement.

How’s everything up north tonight, Suzzz?

hey blue — how ya doing tonight? so glad ya like it

Whoops, I think I was part of that . . . my bad . . . ;-)

I should go to bed sooner sometimes I think . . . ;-)

cold but rain is on the way so it should warm up :)

99…! We are the 99ers…! ;-)

Speakin of which, I gotta go . . . it’s an early up day for me tomorrow.

Best to Suz, and all FireBaggers, we do it again in the morrow, n blessings to all Occupiers EveryWhere . . . it’s only just begun.

It perfectly captures the zeitgeist right now — I hope it becomes the “Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag” of the Occupy movement.

Speaking of which, no fewer than three teachers at my school tonight had stuff for me to bring to Occupy. I took it over there as soon as I got off work.

And thanks again for your kind words about my Occupy diary :)

you were not the only one dood :) i figure the odds are that i’m gonna bomb occasionally — i am double irish yanno *g*

congrats on snagging the happy lucky 99 tut!!!

g’nite larue

Nope.
Night

fuck :( echoing the take a friend.

g’nite spocko

I just bookmarked it — thanks for serving as my mentor.

Assume you already mentioned this further upthread, but what have you been up to?

Just checking in to let you all know, if some aren’t aware already, Oakland is on the march again right now–bigger than ever–cops have formed a defensive (or should that be offensive) line.

NYC Cops kept last night Oakland catastrophe in mind today, and reduced their violent take down-face smashes onto squad car hood to a minimum of the 9 they then arrested…..

*** A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.

The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”

“Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.”

“How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks.

The man replies, “Roughly a gallon.”

busy.. was on the webinar today and am organizing folks who are going to their local occupies to find out what their winterization plans are. was on the phone a lot today – so much so that i burnt dinner in the oven and had to make a second.

Congrats, CT. Lucky 99 prevails again!

I can’t believe how much tonight’s overhead news video of Oakland OWS is right out of the final crowd scene in V for Vendetta.

hey robert — how’s soPA tonight?

hey wahyusamputra — how ya doing tonight?

:)

Wow — that’s true devotion to the cause. Maybe you can ask Jane to reimburse you for dinner.

one of these days i’m gonna have to see that movie

*heh* I’d donate 5 gallons…! ;-)

via twitter:

Video: Jon Stewart: ‘What the **** Happened in Oakland?’

Most of PA continues to be peacefully occupied, with the only violence occurring a couple weeks or so ago in my hometown of Pittsburgh….

i was talking on skype with my headset and didn’t hear the timer go off. my own fault – i knew it was in the oven and totally forgot until about 5 minutes after i got off the call and had my ‘oh fuck’ mad dash to the kitchen

Outstanding diary, CT. Quite worthy of making the front page….

Great movie, great special effects too, I loved it when they blew up Parliament and Big Ben…! ;-)

Mahalo, robert…!

Yes, there’s nothing like the “Oh, Fuck” moment of truth when one realizes one has irretrievably screwed something up, is there?

As Edward Fitzgerald said in “The Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam”:

“The moving finger writes and having writ, moves on.

Nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.”

i’m usually not much of an action movie fan

token enjoyed the chicken — it was too tough for me but not for him :)

get it from your local library, Suzzz

Well, it’s definitely not a ‘Chick Flick’…! ;-)

Sleepy hello and gnite:)
Do you know the enemy

my second ex, the fundy, is a huge action flick and horror flick fan.

nothing like watching die hard for the umpteenth time on a 52″ bigscreen tv to turn ya against a genre. i flat refused to watch the scary films with him. no forking way

hey margot – that’s a great tune — and g’nite sleepyhead

Gov. Jerry Brown to unveil 12-point pension overhaul

Brown will propose benefits for new state workers that combine elements of traditional pensions with a 401(k)-style savings plan. He says the state can no longer afford its current retirement system.

Brown will also propose raising the age at which most new state employees can get full benefits, from 55 to 67.

Additional components of the governor’s proposal adhere closely to the outline he released in March, in the middle of budget negotiations with a handful of Republican lawmakers. For example, Brown will ask legislators to take steps to end “spiking” — giving workers pre-retirement raises to boost their pensions.

He also wants to prohibit retroactive pension increases and eliminate “air time” — employees’ ability to buy credits for years they have not worked.

Brown is also hoping to reconfigure the boards of the state’s two largest retirement systems, which have come under GOP attack for being too friendly to labor and lacking sufficient input from financial experts.

He is also pushing to ban pension payments for anyone convicted of a work-related felony.

fuck that’s my fucking pension he’s wanting to fuck with – i’m in calpers

…propose raising the age at which most new state employees can get full benefits, from 55 to 67.

That’ll go over like a lead balloon…! 8-(

well peeps — my long day has caught up with me. time for me to turn back into a pumpkin and do some major vegging :)

thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight.

g’nite all

Sweet dreams, Suz…!

Remember, remember the Fifth of November ….

Was getting into the festive spirit of this and then, inexplicably, began to cry. Why?
