Rumor has it that Clint Wolff (VAX collector) may have
mentioned these words:
This leads to the Conservative Reactionary Right Nazi people to send the
police out to force Hindus to take down Deewali lights in early November.
Regulating anything *remotely* religious can cause *serious* unforseen
problems.
I was sympathizing with the checkout chick at
home-depot today... Can you
imagine working someplace that plays christmas music 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, since mid November?!!!???!
I really do think there should be a law (in the US) that no christmas
decorations/music/advertising/etc. should be used until after Thanksgiving.
In Canada, the law should read that non should be used until after the US's
Thanksgiving. (Canadian Thanksgiving is in October.) I also think that it should be kept in mind that
Native American people
shouldn't be chastised for disliking Thanksgiving - remember, it was a
"going away party" to the Europeans, they never left... ;-)
[[ And yes, being primarily of Native American & German descent, I really
wasn't sure which way to word the above paragraph... ;-) ]]
LOL.
On the other
hand (and to bring us slightly closer to topic), I got my
200Amp load center installed and wired up. Now I just need to get an
inspection (ummmm.... Yup, thats a load center.... Your wire is the
improper shade of red, you'll have to replace it all...), and get PSCo
out to hook the feed wire up. Then I'll have an extra 80Amps to run
VAXEN!!!!!!
Pfffft. You call that an upgrade??? The house I'm buying has [ahem] 2
30-amp services - hell, that won't run my sawzall! And most of the wiring
is the original "knob & tube" wiring that was used back when many parts of
the US (and this house) ran on 50 Hz. [Yes, the town I live in ran on 50 Hz
for around 20 years, before the US standardized on 60.]
