Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:15am Alex In Illinois:

For me, it is not so much the words themselves, as their misuse. People should learn the meaning of the word "penultimate" before using it. The word "invite" is a verb, not a noun. The noun is "invitation". "Fail" is a verb, not a noun. The noun is "Failure". "Bad" is adjective, not a noun. "Fault" or "mistake" are the nouns that should follow the word "my" when admitting culpability.

Deliverables. Around that. Socialize. Circle back to. Leverage. Constituents. Professionalism.

There is a huge pothole (crater) on our street just a few feet from where I park right in front of our house. The driver's side of our car gets Jackson Pollocked every day with the salty-sandy slush that cars splash onto it when they hit the pothole. I literally have to wash down the side window to see out of it. It was amusing for the first few days. Now I just cry inside. (Of course, I could park somewhere else, but NO!)

I rent a parking space in a lot accross the street from and 100 feet East of my building. I always park in the same spot on the end, which I have shovelled a few times. I do not mind if someone uses the space while I am away at work (some peple have 12 hour day permits), so that is why I am reluctant to guard it with furniture, machinery or animals or other barricades. Also, if someone uses it while I am away, that will keep new snow from falling on it. I just wish there were a way to make sure it is clear when I get home.

i put it down to companies being too cheap to pay for maintenance/skilled labor (often an excuse to get rid of union workers) and government not being strong enough to resist erosion of consumer/citizen protections. witness west virginia.

Friend of mine is going to be the facilitator for a committee that'll draft an ordinance to keep tar sands out of a neighboring town. All those seats may be hot, and hammer bait.

jeezuz, wasn;t there just another derailment in w. pa.? vandergrift, pa, was it? (i only remember b/c a guy involved in the early oil trade had that name; town may have been named after him.)

Emphasizing the risk/fear of derailments happens to be a convenient narrative for those invested in oil. The time scales of those perspectives are on the order more like that of insects.

considering the # of chemical and petro plants NJ has, it's not as much a matter of time as it is a surprise that we also haven't had an incident along these lines.

not that we need another superfund site. shit, bergen county alone is a nightmare, from the old ford plant in mahwah thru the remedied thorium spill in maywood to the tainted banks of the passaic.

if I may make a point about fracking and Wester PAers--my wife is from western PA and even the republicans we know back in Johnstown are starting to put up anti-fracking signs in their yards.

I'm scared about the concept of fracking, even though I don't know the science (or lack of it) behind it. Blowing up our planet piece by piece?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@pacific standard simon
Welcome aboard. I will give you a private replay of the first two and half hours.

@at cpd
That is surprising to me. No one can run for office around here, including the progressive Democrats, without supporting fracking and the energy companies wholeheartedly.
Avatar 11:40am still b/p:

Would that be included in the big downloadable collection of Stax singles you pointed us to a few years ago? I made a couple of CDs from that bunch, but never unpacked the rest.
Avatar 11:41am fleep:

Oh, what's a random earthquake now and then, happens here all the time.
Avatar 11:41am ndbob:

@b/p It should be - there were two of those collections
Avatar 11:42am at cpd:

I know, Doug, but I think the winds are shifting. My republican brother-in-law specifically mentioned not voting for anyone who supported fracking. Course he's not the most conservative guy on earth but still...

These love songs remind me. This morning when I got to my car, and I saw a an envelope under the wiper. First, I thought it was a ticket because I have not yet updated the sticker on my license plate. I cussed, then grabbed it and realized that it was not orange but red. My wife put it there when she was walking the dog a little earlier. Still, I will put the new sticker on tonight.

Speaking of earthquakes -- the warm-up and wind are causing ice and snow to come off the roof, hitting and rattling loudly on the side of the house and the deck. Need a helmet when I step out maybe.
