Oh you know. Working after sundown. No lights. No foreman/supervisor on site. No harnesses/unsecured roofing work. No barriers. Fully block the sidewalk. No respiratory equipment/watering down when cutting through silicate material (creating enormous clouds of silicate and whatever else). All photographed, of course, as it happened. I wonder how the 'boss' might feel about all of that, if he tries to be trouble.

I'd have thought you'd have learned by now that Russia can only have interfered when the result isn't what the left wanted. If they get what they want the election is above reproach. Because orangemanbad and all that, you know?
This reminds me of the days when Tony Blair was the UK Prime Minister and seemed to genuinely believe that New Labour's problem was that the people didn't understand their manifesto. It seemed to genuinely not occur to him that we understood it just fine, we just didn't want it.
The key word there being 'manifesto'. If you're in politics, and you have a manifesto, I'm going to run in the other direction.
It's just that when someone gets into government (any government, it doesn't matter which government) they have their common sense surgically removed.
I'm not sure it's so much about having common sense removed, as much as totally losing the ability to comprehend that even if you do have a great vision for the future other people might have a very different vision. Sadly the good Rabbi's point seems to reflect what many politicians think, that they know what's best for us and we will fall into line and like it.
We had some snow yesterday. A gentle sprinkle of it. This morning there were a couple of tiny white patches on the ground that went away pretty early. It's chilly here but has yet to get particularly cold.
Dipped to 30 degrees here and set to go a bit lower tonight. Then back into the 50s tomorrow. Go figure.
Supposed to go over 60 tomorrow. I got my steps in today doing endless laps of the church while waiting for a telephone engineer who didn't show up during his assigned slot, then head office assured me we were next on the list and he'd be there soon so I spent another 90 minutes waiting before giving up and coming back home. So not a hugely productive day, except I did read a book in the church library during my second otherwise fruitless wait.
A guy I loosely know here was talking about moving to Arizona on the basis he would be quite happy if he never had to shovel snow or mow grass again in his entire life.
