George Will describing Obama’s desire to tax windfall profits (whatever they are) of oil companies in order to issue a rebate to citizens states:
Obama is unintimidated by the rule against legislating about subjects one cannot define.

From someone on a mailing list I have been on since 1994.
At 87 I’m still enjoying this wonderful journey. I hope it goes on and on so I can see my great grand children grow up, see where computers go from here, see what replaces internal combustion engines, see how we transport minerals from the moon and mars, see how long our democracy can continue to exist in this crazy worlds, and see things and events that I can’t even dream of now.
I’d like a long long journey.

On a geocaching discussion board today, Neos2 stated:
Is this guy trying to say that he is entitled to the smiley because he found the physical cache?
This is an interesting thing to read while discussing geocaching.

Gert sent me out to run a couple errands for her this evening. It was a good thing she did for I had forgotten I needed a few things for tomorrow myself. I work with mostly women. They have showers all the time. Early in my career I shunned these things, now I welcome them. There are always good eats at them.
Anyhow, I ended up in our too small Walmart because wat Gert wanted would cost less there and it was on the easy side of the road. I went down an aisle that turned out to be the clearance aisle. I didn’t know Walmart had these. Recently I spotted one at Target. Good trade items (although I rarely trade stuff in geocaches these days) can be found in such places. Lo and behold, Walmart is selling nylon blaze orange vests for $.50 apiece. These are not as nice as the vest I purchased a few years ago, but what a neat trade item . . . or at least I think so. (Note to local cachers: there are plenty there, if you are interested.) I picked up several.
I waited in line to pay. The girl rang the items. Then she looked at me and said:
Are you going to Camden?
That caught me completely off guard. Who would have thought I would chortle in Millville’s Walmart?

An old crotchety ham (that’s his description) wrote on a mailing list I am on the following today:
Calling an illegal alien an ‘undocumented immigrant’ is like calling a drug dealer an ‘unlicensed pharmacist’
Cute!
