Hydro Mousse

New idea on how to grow a really nice lawn, maybe perfect.

  1. start out by pouring about 1 to 2 inches of concrete in the area where you want the lawn.
  2. After the concrete is well set, spray some of that Hydro Mousse all over the concrete.
  3. Water regularly.
  4. In a few weeks, you’ll have a nice beautiful green lawn.

You doubt it? You see the advertisement on TV? They grew the stuff on concrete blocks… upside down. Ought to grow even better right side up. The neat part is that there will be no weeds. If there were any, they wouldn’t be able to grow in the concrete.

Sorry. Might be a little expensive.

Do You Like This Idea

Maybe, if you like the idea, if you know the right people or you have enough money, you just might want to try it.  Mind you, I don’t know if it will work.  My wife is always telling me that I think too much.

It just is, I use this shortcut that I borrowed from others.  It makes things easier and faster.  Whenever I get a new trash bag out, I get four.  I put three in the bottom of the trash can and put one in, in the usual way.  That way, next time I take out the trash, I’ll need not go back to the cupboard.  I simply pull one off the bottom of the container.

I would suspect I am not the only one doing this.  Indeed, it is possible that some, when they buy 30 bags, they put all thirty in the bottoms of the container.  It would take a while, but it saves time later.  Moreover, if like me, it saves me chasing down where I put the unused bags.

Then, as my wife says, the gears in my brain keep going.  I thought, why not sell them in stacks instead of in a rolls.  Maybe the stacks could contain 10 or 12 bags.  I don’t know how many would be best.

However, when the bags run out, you just put another stack in.  Well, I suppose you might need to go out and get some more.  Might want to make sure you keep and extra stack or two, maybe three.

Just a dumb idea.  I assure you that it is worth every cent you are paying for it.

Incidentally, the bags would not take up as much space in storage if they are folded.

We All Should Know

However, so very few do. First, common sense. Second, courage. Third honesty. Finally, and most importantly, a good sense of humor. Sometimes, it helps to be able to laugh when the world starts falling down around you. Otherwise, it just might drive a person to madness.

Some might call it madness to laugh in the face of adversity. Then again, we are all entitled to an opinion. Personally, I consider a coping mechanism and I try to use it regularly.

I Think I’ve Figured a Way To Charge My EV

It’s not that hard.

  1. rent a store front. I know where there are several
  2. buy about 50 or 60 exercise bikes
  3. modify the bikes so that pedaling generates electricity
  4. connect the bikes to a battery.
  5. charge my car from the battery

Advantages are simple. No problem generating generating co2 anywhere. Well, those doing the pedaling will expel a little.

Other than my initial costs, the electricity is free. I let them use the bikes free and they provide power for my car. Now let me see, I just might draw a few of my customers from other gyms.

Okay. It won’t come close to working. Still, isn’t it a shame all that energy put into pedaling just goes to waste? I mean how much power could you generate off fifty bikes?

“News Can Make a Person’s Life Better”

They keep saying this on News, Channel 3, WREG in Memphis.

I can’t say I disagree. I don’t even dislike it. It just is that the opposite is also true and most of us know it after a little thought. I mean as long is the news is accurate, it’s a good thing. However, spreading lies is never good. Nightly, I see lies being told regularly as if absolute truth.

I guess I can’t say they’re alone. I would give examples. However, with a little thought, I am sure most folks can easily come up with a list.

It’s not just wrong to bear false witness, it can destroy lives instead of helping. Moreover, it is wrong, very wrong to call evil good and evil good. It makes me wonder why a person would want to do it, especially after calling themselves church going truth seekers.

Free Food!

Just saw a news headline on the news, Free Food. No such thing. Someone is paying for it. Just shows to go how much you can believe the news media.

I didn’t hear who was actually paying for the food, but I would guess state and local governments, which means the taxpayers.

If that is the case, they should say it that way. The concept of free food is simply a uphamism for openly picking our pockets.

To the Rescue, Not

If you are one of those willing to risk life and limb to save someone from murder, rape or theft, you really should think about it.

If that neighbor woman in that nearby apartment should be assaulted, if you go to the rescue, it might be more than you physical well being at risk. If you should hurt or kill the man threatening that helpless woman, the district attorney might decide you are the dangerous one. He could actually charge and and convict you. You could go to prison.

Even if he doesn’t get a conviction, you will still lose your fortune and you will be penniless and on the street for legal bills. And if you didn’t kill the real assailant, he will be roaming the streets free, looking for another victim.

Am I wrong? It happens and it will, possibly to you.

You need to be careful as to who you vote in as district attorney. You need to be careful of who you elect to be sheriff. Certainly you need to know the candidates for mayor and city council. These people are not running for federal office, but no one can ruin you life any faster.

Not only can they come after you for protecting yourself but for coming to the rescue of others too. If you can’t get someone in office who believes in proper and responsible defense, you just might want to leave the area. If you can’t do that, bar your doors and windows. Fortify your home and maybe your business. Then, of course, you might not want to go out for that walk on that nice day. You should just resort to the treadmill.

And if that young woman is crying out for help, turn away and plug your ears.

I Guess it Could be an Old Idea

Of all the computer games out there, the only one that really gets my attention is Free Cell. When I first started, I got so frustrated. I rarely won. Then I found out that that, as far as anyone knows, all the dealings can be solved. I don’t know. There are so many combinations. Since I bought this computer, I have won all 70 of the first games I played on it. To be sure, I have gotten pretty good and I have learned to watch for some things.

At any rate, I do hope I’ll be able to pass 1000 on the new computer with no losses. The hitch is, you lose one game and your average will never again be posted at over 99%, at least not with the MS version.

There I go chasing rabbits. That was not at all my intended subject. It is about those commercials they post on the side. You know the ones trying to get me to play that game, I think Forge of Empires. Pardon me, but I have absolutely no interest in the game. However, I must admit the one that did the artwork has really done some outstanding work.

I do wonder if anyone has considered making some calendars out of them. It might not be in their marketing strategy, but, I for one, would be willing to shell out as much as twenty dollars for one. The one showing the train pulling into the station is particularly nice. It seems so much like a photo but yet it is so obvious it’s not. Besides, I have always had a real weakness for steam trains. It is such a shame the diesels took over. Also the detail in the rest of the picture is enough for me to just sit and stare at it until the next ad comes by.

Then again, maybe it has already been tried. If so, and there are any left, does anyone know how I can buys a few?
