…just another random person's thoughts & digressions.
Dry summer weather has not only affected the legal agricultural crops… Marijuana has been affected as well…
In regards to the Elizabethtown DCBS office, state investigators found an “office that thrived on the power of controlling families by removing children from their biological parents and terminating their parental rights. Investigators said supervisors there were allowed to accept, reject or alter established procedures at will.”
Disturbing…
While I believe that wireless contracts aren’t that difficult to understand (commonly it’s misconceptions and misinterpretations of the customer’s), I believe that this bill would be very helpful. Having the ability to terminate within the first thirty days of service, without facing termination fees is a great idea–the only trick, however, is that consumers would surely have to face the pains of having a non-refundable deposit if their equipment wasn’t returned in the same condition it was sold–otherwise the prices of handsets will have to be a little bit more expensive (where they are typically sold at a cheaper rate, where a discounted price is offered where the commitment for service is made)

Arizona operators provide public service
Some Sun City West residents are growing restless over the many Ham radio antennas lining the roofs of homes in their senior communities. Their angst is two-fold. They believe the lengthy antennas detract from the look of their neighborhood and claim they interfere with other home electronic equipment, including televisions, radios, phones and computers.
The organizer of a protest on Saturday against Applebee’s breast-feeding policies and a local demonstration that has gone national has decided not to attend herself.

From the Herald Leader:
Brooke Ryan started a national uproar after she was asked by the manager of the Nicholasville Road Applebee’s to cover up while breast-feeding her 7-month-old son. A local protest scheduled to be held from noon to 2 p.m. has now spread to at least 60 different Applebee’s in 30 states.
Apparently, the woman and a slew of others are angry that they can’t whip out their breasts and feed the kids. Well, ok, get over it. I haven’t seen a restaurant or any public establishment that supports it, other than hospitals and the like – and, unless it’s in the hospital room, they have rooms allotted for that, because some find it offensive. (For the record, I don’t.)
Well, Ryan wants Applebee’s to say they’re sorry, and to start keeping towels handy in order for a mother to cover-up.
Okay, so, like, why should the restaurant be responsible for providing towels? Do you want them to provide diapers and wipes, too? Come on! You’re carrying a diaper bag around, what’s another towel or blankie? Hell, my kids are three and one, and I tote a diaper bag around when we go out! and it’s got a whole tub of wipes, poop catchers for three days worth of movements, and three days worth of clothes! and a blankie! and we don’t need a blankie anymore! and there’s blankies in the car and the van! Jesus!
Ah, well.
So, now I’m thinking about going to Applebee’s this weekend…
