PSA#125

So, I’m trying to understand this ISO week numbering system. This where every week has a number to it each year where depending upon where you live the week starts on a Sunday [United States] or Monday [Europe 8601] or Islamic [Saturday]. To my not understanding there are systems in place that I had no idea about and I want to talk about one in particular: Tires.

There always talk about the tires on your car and how much safety depends on the wear and tear of the tires. This brings me to the “Birthday” of my tires, who knew I should be concerned? Not the date you purchased them, but the actual manufactured “Birthdate” of my tires.

Which brings me to getting another wrinkle in my brain; when you learn something you get a new wrinkle in your brain. My dad said one should get a wrinkle every day. I learned this week is the 45^th week of this year.

 Soo, if a tire is stamped 4505 on the side this means the 45^th week of 2005 the tire was manufactured, and you are riding with your life at stake.

My suggestion today is to find out exactly when your tires were manufactured.

Top 10 Largest Cruise Ships in the World 2015

Making Plans

I am sitting here watching television seeing the advertisements about cruise ships and what they want to offer you. I am not a swimmer no a big fan of pools of any kind, it struck me when I saw how people were enjoying the water, on the water, in the water. One can pay thousands of dollars in air fare to get a room, then over eat daily, exercise a little, gamble maybe, drinks of your choice repeat this tomorrow. I would guess this is a billion dollar industry seeing how my country is one of the richest, laziest in the world. You see all of the “beautiful”, skinny people in the commercials while hoping to capture some of the joy and fun when you arrive on your cruise. From the looks of the disasters that occur in the news when they happen, there are no “beautiful” skinny people on board with the wide smiles.

I will soon “bite-the-bullet” and take my first cruise next year. I have my discomforts and my reservation as only I can imagine [with pirates] but I am looking forward to celebrating our girlfriend’s 50^th birthday celebration aboard one these cruises. I am so excited and apprehensive about the experience. I can just scratch this off of my bucket list when I get back. If you have any suggestions or pointers, please feel free to share.

I will keep you posted.

BAD BEHAVIOR

Is it enough teachers are underpaid, underfunded, overworked? The fear of some mentally ill student coming into a school and open fire is enough to make any person thing twice about a career in education. Most teachers have to find resources to provide for classroom school supplies out of their own pockets. There is a list in the beginning of the school year that parents have to supply incase other students are lacking. The teacher is a true unsung hero.

We send our “precious angle” or the 4^th or 5^th child to school 5 of seven days of a week for total strangers to take care that our babies are educated and protected. “Charity begins at home” is what I was taught and what I teach in my family. We were taught in the home not to embarrass my parents in public let alone in school. If my mom got wind of any bad behavior by the teacher or any other adult for that matter I would rather die than come home to the “wrath of mom”.

Today’s rant is about the preliminary judgement of the video that is circling around social media. The resource officer’s behavior is put on judgement. If the teacher has a disrupted student in the classroom, what is the teacher to do? Maybe ask the student to leave; the threat of the principal office should be enough; nowadays things have hanged in school. There was a cop in my high school and that was the easiest post for law enforcement. We used to run past him “cutting” class, when we got into the classroom the shenanigans stopped.

I have to wait for all evidence to surface. Should the officer “man-handled” this young lady? Should the student have complied when asked to leave the classroom? Should there be better training on both parts? I believe this could all have been avoided to start with.

Where are her embarrassed parents?...[****crickets***]

I can still hear my Mother now.. (O_o)

Joe Biden makes announcement at the White House

NO BID FOR BIDEN

There comes a time in your life one has to make a decision of what really matters. Vice-President Joseph Biden made a decision that was right for him and his family.

I believed he would have been a great candidate for the Democratic Party. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have lost in a land slide. Biden has the experience and the moxie to lead a fight for what is better for the middle class, working poor, and the poor who makes up 90% of the population of the United States of America.

There some people who fight well on paper, with facts and figures to back them up. There are some people who come out of the gate fighting for what they believe and there is a difference between the two, [between the two]. Who has the experience in politics for many years, has ran and wants the job.

If the Lady said “NO, I WILL NOT RUN” she didn’t want to run in the first place. When you make someone do what they don’t want to do, you’re looking for a “banged up” job. If you have children who you have told to go wash the dishes, you already know some of the dishes will be oily with food stuck on them, a really bad job. Like the guy at work one day who was told to hang the framed picture of the boss on the wall. When to boss came back he saw his picture with a nail through the forehead of the picture, nailed to the wall. Job done, not at all acceptable.

So to Vice-President Biden thank you for all you have done. The “take-no-crap”, Not-backing-down” maintaining America as the strong nation that other nations look up to. I prayer that your family continue to heal from the heartbreak.  There is no lose like a loss of a child and the media in this country can get very unfair, inaccurate and very nasty to say the least.  The other nations may hate us, but they watch very closely to what we do. Sometimes [we] have to mind out business and stay out of others.

God help US
