Lawyers, Candle-stick Makers, etc.

January 22nd, 2012 danny

“Legal disclaimer”: I have a lot of friends (well, a couple of  ’em at least!) who are lawyers; this is NOT aimed at them.

 

While sitting in front of the TV, I notice that there are a LOT of  “wrongful” – (death), (sickness), (accident), (injury) case offers that, if you call their number you most certainly will get a substantial settlement.  Asbestos, bad medicine, auto accident or whatever, there is almost always a lawyer out there who is willing to handle your case. I call them “ambulance chasers”.

January 15th, 2012 danny

The hydrogen fuel cell is not a new idea. It was invented in 1839 by Sir William Grove, a Welsh judge, but at that time there were NO vehicles on the road! It took 127 more years to develop a car with a fuel cell.

Danny & the Union

January 9th, 2012 danny

The job was a “union” position; however, while you were not required to join the union, you had to operate under union jurisdiction. After I was on the job one month, the union, in the midst of a contract dispute with management, decided to “go out” on a strike.

China Going To The Moon?

January 1st, 2012 danny

At a time when the Obama administration has decided that we need to “cut back” on manned space exploration and the costs that are required for that program, China has announced a five-year plan to begin exploration of the moon.

Everyone in government and society as a whole understands the military advantages of establishing a base of operation on our nearest “space neighbor”.  Our world-shattering accomplishment of 1969 of landing, having man walk & explore the moon and return safely to earth ended following the launch of Apollo 17 in December, 1972.
