All is well here in the White Mountains. Taking a little R&R. Beautiful blue sky and 70 degree temps.

The were lots of men walking around in kilts.
This video I found on line from the 2011 games:

The Fable of Bearack Obama by Joseph Teach
Joseph was kind enough to forward an email to
me with a new childrens book he has written.
The Fable of Bearack Obama is a new book that has just been released-
The Fable of Bearack Obama book is a fun and enjoyable way to communicate to young children the disadvantages of being dependent on the government and the joys of living a life of freedom. This important message is conveyed through a charming and fun story and accompanied by beautiful and whimsical illustrations.
Political
scientists estimate that today one in five Americans are now dependent
on the government for help to either pay the bills, put food on the
table, or provide shelter over their heads. And worse yet, more and more
people accept this dependency and have given up on realizing the
American dream of being free, prosperous, healthy, and happy citizens.
But you can help reverse this trend!
The Fable of Bearack Obama was just released in September of 2012 and can be ordered directly from the printer at CreateSpace.com/3977143 or can be ordered through Amazon at http://amzn.com/1479194778. It is only $9.99, plus shipping/handling. For more details contactJosephTeach@

Shena Hardin, Her Time Is WAY More Important Than Anyone Else...
Cleveland Metropolitan School District bus driver captured video of a female motorist driving on the sidewalk to avoid stopping for the bus loading and unloading children. The driver was caught on cell
phone camera Tuesday morning. Cleveland police released the driver's name late Tuesday afternoon. She is 32-year-old Shena Hardin, of Cleveland. Hardin was not arrested, but cited for not stopping for the school bus. CMSD driver Uriah Herron is credited by supervisors for his quick thinking to nab the driver on camera. The driver's sidewalk detours appear to be a daily occurrence. "We had a very
conscientious driver for 30 years. He really cares about his children and he took the extra step that this doesn't happen again," said CMSD Bus Manager Eric Taylor. The incident happened at East 38th Street between Superior and Payne Avenue.

While The Media Has It's Focus On Romney..China Is Selling Oil Using The Yuan and NOT the Dollar....
Pioneer Preppy gives us some thoughts....
It seems two weeks ago China, Russia and Iran made a deal to begin officially and openly trading oil using the Yuan. The story has begun creeping into other blogs and an Examiner article was put out about it but nothing I can find in the Main Stream Media, Domestic or Foreign.
Interesting to say the least.

Who Ya Gonna Call When Your Oil Platform Sinks? 1-800-VB10000
As a Mechanical Engineer and Machinist, This shit blows my mind........
MORE HERE AT THIS LINK > GIZMODO<
Though they weigh as much as 60,000 tons, the massive semi-submersible oil rigs dotting the Gulf of Mexico can still sink when faced with a hurricane's onslaught. And there's only one way to pull the rigs' 7,500 ton decks off the seafloor after such a catastrophe—with America's heaviest-lifting ship, the VB 10,000.
Designed by the Versabar corporation (based off the company's previous heavy lifter, the Bottom Feeder) and constructed by Gulf Marine Fabricators in Ingleside, Texas, the $100-million VB 10,000 is a heavy-lift catamaran that mounts a pair of massive lift gantries atop a pair of barges. Perhaps massive is a bit of an understatement.
Each gantry measures 240-feet tall and weighs 3,400 tons—or about as much as the Ben Franklin Bridge in Pennsylvania. The barges both measure 300 feet by 72 feet and each is powered by a quartet of 1,000HP thrusters which also allow it to remain stationary over the job site. And to prevent the motion of the ocean from affecting the the lift, the VB 10,000 utilizes a set of articulated pins to connect the gantries to the barges. To perform the actual lift, four 2000-ton lifting blocks are attached to the oil rig deck by divers, who also cut off the rig's legs, and are then pulled to the surface by the vessel's quad 400-ton winches and deposited on the back of a waiting barge for transport back to port.
There are lots of videos on youtube, just search Versabar VB10000

Randy Newman Who? He's Feeling White Guilt and Needing 15 More Minutes of Fame.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Randy Newman is weighing in on the presidential
election, and he's playing the race card through a song he wrote called
"I'm Dreaming."
The piano tune features the refrain: "I'm dreaming of a white president." It is full of satirical, sarcastic -- and signature -- Newman anecdotes about someone who votes for the president because he is white.

The Girl With Large Breasts...
|
Sitting together on a train were Pres. Obama, George W. Bush,
a little old lady, and a young girl with large breasts.
|
The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later
There is the sound of a loud slap.
When the train emerges from the tunnel,
Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek.
No one speaks. The old lady thinks: Obama must have groped the
Blonde in the dark, and she slapped him.
The blonde girl thinks: Obama must have tried
To grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled
The old lady and she slapped him.
Obama thinks: Bush must have groped the blonde in the dark.
She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.
George Bush thinks: I can't wait for another tunnel,
So I can slap the shit out of Obama again!!!
