California State Assembly Meeting

Update on the Oroville Dam.

The Assembly Meeting is occurring now, on the California channel. Known history and problems involved were discussed. Repair efforts for the dam by DWR will cost $274 million. “How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again?”

Guinea Pigs

What do you know about guinea pigs? They are not from Guinea, nor are they pigs. They came from the Andes and are a staple there. Long ago, a lot of 1,000 guinea pigs and lamas were sacrificed to appease the gods for better crop harvests. Nowadays, they are raised for food in small, shallow holes inside the homes of those in South America that raise them, for food, although not in large numbers.

There are many breeds, including long and short-haired versions of various ‘forest colors’. My two are American and Coronet.

As for behavior as pets, they are mostly nocturnal, yet are awake off and on in daytime. They need diet food and like sweet Timothy Hay. Like humans, these rodents need vitamin C, usually put in water or food by liquid from their owners. They can ‘put up with’ a 2’ X 3’ cage minimum and need ”social time” as they are ”social animals”, so are best kept in pairs or with litter mates.

For me, particularly, I’ve noticed they can tolerate noisy vacuums and dishwashers; and, they have hearing up to 50,000 hertz. On the other hand, I’ve heard lights switching on and off may upset them. As an owner, one should check their paws, ears, eyes, nose, teeth and fur weekly for ‘irregularities’. Being prey animals, they have a tendency to hide their faults from predators; that they ‘think’ is everyone else, and is hard to breed out.

They speak in ”wheeks”, sounding somewhat like small whistles, squeals, ”chuffs”, and other vocalizations; and may display dominant/submissive behavior, like territorial hindquarters rocking or sounding a low frequency “chatter”.

These animals are a joy to keep and watch, and I fully would recommend them as pets.

When an article in the Egyptian criminal code says that if a woman has been beaten by her husband “with good intentions” no punitive damages can be obtained, then to hell with political correctness.

In Egypt.

There’s all kinds out there.

NO, I DON'T OWE YOU SHIT FOR BEING NICE.

I wanted to share an experience with you ladies because I think it’s important in this talk we’re having about male entitlement.

I went on a date on Wednesday with someone who seemed to be quite ‘smitten’ with me. I use the word ‘seemed’ because of what transpired after the date. This was a guy who since meeting me was constantly texting me, calling me and putting my wants first, for example, making sure he took me to a restaurant I wanted when I was free.

On our first meeting he complained he hadn’t been lucky with women and that he felt that being good natured didn’t always attract good things/people. I dismissed it because I just thought he was a bit bitter and cynical after his previous relationship and said that maybe his luck was about to change. We left that conversation there and continued on.

For our second date he took special effort to take me somewhere nice, paid the bill and was very affectionate throughout the dinner. We then went for a drive and hung out where we didn’t proceed for a home run because I didn’t want to. He seemed fine with this until I dropped him to his car and upon leaving he said “I’ll see you when I see you”…UM OKAY?

So here we are nearly a week later and not a word from a guy who was constantly calling me, except for a juvenile text about how he had to go home and help himself out after our date, on Thursday.

That shit is not okay.

I am not a vending machine where you slot some coins and I put out my services for you. Just because you bought me dinner does not entitle you to my body and when you don’t get to have my body it does not entitle you to make passive-aggressive comments about how you had to help yourself out.

Men think that because they’re “NICE” they’re entitled to some fucking special treatment.

NO.

There is no fucking special treatment for treating me with the respect and common courtesy I deserve. You do not get an applause for being a nice guy. And you sure as hell don’t get the title of a nice guy because you think you’re owed that.

And here’s the other thing: You do not get to fucking complain when someone doesn’t reciprocate your advances, feelings or generosity about how nice guys finish last. That’s not what nice guys do. That is what a self-serving piece of ass does.

BEING NICE DOES NOT MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT.

Trump Commits Impeachable Offense

https://plus.google.com/100212344229354267307/posts/jDoTKNyP8Wi

    Trump probably has committed many Impeachable Offenses, but he has also covered up that with fake news, and tweets covering his butt by distractions, misdirection and out and out bluster.

    This time, it wasn’t for firing James Comey from his job as FBI Director, but a disregard of intelligence information he handed over to…

HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2016 from CALIFORNIA!

TV today is Full of Threats

Watch many afternoon shows on the television and you will find there is no escaping the threat of dying from criminals or some person, possibly by accident. There seems to be no escaping it. Apparently the TV programers want the afternoons kept adult, because the kids are in school or napping. While I can safely say I am an adult, I most certainly would like to see less violence there.

Violence…
