Could go for some famin here. Trying to process some shooting complaints and some drunk on a pre-paid phone keeps calling 911 to cuss at dispatchers in the middle of it. Wonder how many of the pro-bailout legislators were on the panel that came up with the regulations on 911 access for cell phones?

I hear you on the drunks with phones. They call in here all the time. At least I'm not 911 and I can play with them a bit from time to time.

There's a vass vacuum of knowledge in that legislature. They actually pass laws regarding inappropriate use of a telecommunications device, but they don't require identification to register and maintain service or any kind of accountability. Another thing that's fun is sitting here all night with somebody on the other end demanding I speak spanish to them, in a tone that is obviously far from emergent. I like to flip the tv on to UNIvision in the background and tell them no spanish here.

You're behind bars and have the gall to speak of 'riff-raff'?

That was ME and I wasn't drunk! And what does famin have to do with 911? The fama that fams our property has no knowledge of the 911 system and I doubt any other fama would either. Leave the fama's alone, let them do the famin, YOU do the dispatchin' and everyone will be happy.

Count yourself as lucky; in Mass every time the power goes out we get calls asking if we know the power is out and when will it be back on? Last time there were over 600 calls in a 3 hour time frame. Then there are the idiots, um, I mean CITIZENS that call during/after a snowstorm to see if there's any school. Those usually amount to 4 - 500 calls per snow event. Let's see, what else... oh yeah; "What are the hours for the pizza shop?" That's good for at least 8 or 10 calls per week. If you tell people these questions aren't proper use of the 911 system, they're quick to inform you in no uncertain terms that they pay 10 grand a year in taxes for their house and 1/4 acre lot and that those taxes pay your salary, so they're entitled to call 911 for whatever reason they darn well want to! But the GOOD news is that we can be just as rude back to them as they are to us. Or at least I can. (I made up that rule!)

Morning all. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I'm complaining... it's time to get up!

Today's historical interlude is as follows;

On this day in 1776 - Members of the Continental Congress began adding their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.

1861 - The United States Congress passed the first income tax. The revenues were intended for the war effort against the South. The tax was never enacted.

1887 - Rowell Hodge patented barbed wire.

1892 - Charles A. Wheeler patented the first escalator.

1934 - German President Paul von Hindenburg died. His successor was Adolf Hitler.

1939 - Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging the U.S. to have an atomic weapons research program.

1939 - U.S. President Roosevelt signed the Hatch Act. The act prohibited civil service employees from taking an active part in political campaigns.

1943 - The U.S. Navy patrol torpedo boat, PT-109, sank after being attacked by a Japanese destroyer. The boat was under the command of Lt. John F. Kennedy.

1945 - The Allied conference at Potsdam was concluded.

1964 - The Pentagon reported the first of two North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Have a day!

You could say that I have become somewhat of an expert in "Riff-raff". There's plenty of it in here regularly. Why do you think we have to get a new "Breakroom" everyweek. It's not just the wet sasquatch and sheep smell......

Mornin' to all from Paradise. Another boring, fantastic good weather day here. Nothing much to report.

Chaikwa, today when I was reading your "comments" about some of our esteemed members I was reminded about a certain DTR member that used to appear here on a regular basis. Gee, but in your old age you sure sound like you are turning into another Hoss.

Morning Ye`all

Sorry For The Rant Last Night About Cash For Clunkers Program>

On Second Thought No I`m Not Sorry >we Should All Be Enraged By This Program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Not Every One Can Afford Brand New Vehicles > And They Are Trashing Better Vehicles Than Many People Can Afford To Buy !

My Hobby Is & Has Been For Years To Resurrect Older High Mileage Vehicles >not For Profit > Just For Enjoyment >and To Have Them To Drive !

There Are Millions Of People That Work Full Time And By The Time They Pay For Housing And Food & Taxes All They Can Afford Is A Used Car !

Cash For Clunkers Proves We Have Become A Throw Away Society !


I Guess I Nead To Find Out More On How The La

I Still Have Some Questions Plaguing Me

#1 The Oil From The Engines In This Program>

Since It Causes The Oil To Break Down &not Lubricate >this Oil Must Not Br Recycled >
Many Of The Oil Company's Recycle Oil And Add A % To New Oil !

I Can Just Imagine The Consequences - Cars & Trucks 2&3 Yrs Old With Engine Failure Because Of It!

Agree with you there. Way too many loose ends in this "program". Well, gonna grab a Dew or two and stick Caddyshack in the ol DVD player and rest awhile.
