Guillow's in Wakefield MA

CTC flew many of these as a kid. Better buy some for my crew!!

NYC

We all know NYC is a seriously liberal place.

However, driving through the city this week and flipping radio sgations, I was on one of the big FM talk channels, 99.5 if I recall. At 530 am they were broadcasting a new feed by Al Jazera./

I am speechless on this one.

Watched some TV while on a trip, CTC is almost allergic to the idiot box, and haven't seen much since the kids came along. The volume of commercials is large, but near the end of an ABC movie, all the commercials were for the same network, all in house shows. They can't sell ads. They need to update their business model, (change content) or go broke. Hopefully the later, as if the go on govt support, the message will get even more biased.

Wow.

Observation of American Males

Heard this week from a national sales manager of a new and growing company. He hates the the male sales reps work. They will research their customers ad naseuam, build social networking etc. They do not go out and do the work, making the calls. He has become biased toward the age group.

Data point 2. More than half of new physicians are female. Sure the luster and money has left medicine to other areas, but is still a presitgous and competitive field.

Theory
The fire in the belly of young males is missing. Where did it go? It is being satisfied by virtual contest; Halo a virtual combat game has many offshoots, as well as the multiple player games like Runescape and World of Warcraft, even Lego are all about battles. There are lots of guys that fiercely compete on line. Does that drain them of their drive to suceed in real life?

Drug Stores Here There and Everywhere!

There are CVS Rite Aids and other drug stores popping up everywhere. I have heard people say, do we need another Drugs 'R' Us in our town?

In a Freakonomics kind of way, the answer is simple. W started the prescription 'benefit' for seniors. Who is going to sell free meds? CVS etc. So Uncle Sam is the reason they are going up. I wonder what the bust will be after this boom?

DOC another black hole

The CT Curmudgeon saw a patrol vehicle at the correction center. It was a Ford Super Duty pickup truck. Why a F150 or Crown Vic isn't used points to a fat budget. The SD are expensive, and if you are hauling a load, it is needed. But to patrol??

Rich Guys Read Up- Boycott Yale

You have made your money, your estate is sizable and trust are in place. Do not donate to your alma mater. Yale et al are so rich, it gives the faculty false ideas of how life works. Money comes to them out of nowhere, they think alot, talk more and get tenure. Who wouldn't love that? Stop the gravy train.

The Sloan Foundation and others get hijacked by NPR too. So the industrialists are finding the de industrialists.

Look what is going on at Dartmouth when alumni try and reign in the lefties.

Public School Teachers- Professional Development Days

The kids are off from school from time to time for "professional development day" of the teachers. Why dont they do that in the summer or on a saturday? The school administrator care more for staff than teaching.

Regulation in the USA

The second most regulated country in the world for medical devices. This cost us money and lives. Japan is Draconian.

2nd Amendment in CT-Alert

Bills pending in Legislature

Bad;1094;
Magazine capacity limit of 10. So many pistol mags would be illegal. Bad, call your rep now.

Good; 6377
Eliminates towns ability to restrict firearm, which reigns in New Brittan's renegades laws.

See CCDL.us or Hoffmans sites for details.

Airport Baggage

Ever notice how everyone crowds the luggage conveyors at the airport? Makes it hard to spot and get a bag. What if there were a line four feet back that people stood at? You could see better and no need to scramble to get your bag though a forest of gawkers.
