Overnight Open Thread (07/26/2020)
[Buck Throckmorton]
The Wuhan Virus shutdown may have dealt a death blow to Hertz. Liquidating all those cars will also ripple through the economy via depressed trade-in values for consumers and lost new car sales for manufacturers if rental fleets don’t need to be refreshed like normal. I almost always get a rental car when I travel. Having that car means I can get home if there is a black swan event that shuts down air travel (such as 9-11 or the Wuhan Virus) or if there’s simply a major weather event that snarls up air travel for multiple days. At 1,000 miles per day I can get home from most anywhere in in the country in two days, therefore the most important travel insurance to me is having a rental car. Were any of you stranded out of town without a car on 9/11? Any good stories of trying to make it home when normally reliable passenger conveyances were not functioning like normal? This is perhaps television’s greatest rental car moment:
"The jolt knocked one car off the rail and it tipped several connected cars off the track like an accordion, pulling cars and passengers to the ground and into a shallow lagoon below," a San Antonio Express-News article from that day reads.Required with any discussion of monorails:
Arbuckles Coffee was so prevalent that most cowboys didn’t realize there was any other brand made. “Arbuckles” became a generic name for coffee, like Stetson for hat or Levi’s for jeans. To keep it that way, the company packaged trading cards with the coffee and coupons. The cards educated coffee drinkers about the West, covering such topics as cooking, geography, sports, U.S. history, birds and other zoological studies.
The blend is designed to simulate the one-of-a-kind taste of stale, burned, watered-down coffee served in a church foyer or fellowship hall.

I share these here because you, as friends of the interwebs will at least endure my ramblings.
"It's time to stop and regain our footing.
Rational voices should be heard among your endless litany of videos showing people being shot, beaten, run over. Among the militant, armed with firearms, the news stories telling you the rare example to magnify fear, the outrageous cross-fighting between political factions, we should listen to those that represent the normal, the middle, the realists.
We have become a society ruled by the fringe, where edgy is preferable and more excitable than the calm and the steady.
Look at your televisions. Is there anyone on it that approximates reality. Every story is selectively plucked to elicit emotion, none are selected because they exhibit the calm and the rational. Every character created for entertainment is extreme, it's cringeworthy humor, it's a clinically unbalanced character trait, it's anything but a mom and dad and kids that work, that navigate the already complex world, that worship God and live the same angst of the life unexamined.
Because we no longer value intelligence. We no longer value virtue. We no longer are content to share experiences. We want the extreme. The extreme gives us that sweet, sweet dopamine fix that our brains desire.
We desire above all things to see something other than reality. Disfunction is entertainment. And entertainment has become something to emulate. We value the freakiest of the freaky.
Ask yourself why the pictures you see every day are of the fringe of society, no matter which end of society you ordinarily side with. And ask yourself how much society is desperate to have that camera trained on them for their fifteen minutes of fame.
Warhol was right. Life imitates art. We all want our fame. We are addicted to clicks.
And in the wash of meaningless self-importance and self-adoration, falls on deaf ears the voices of the normal, the calm, the rational.
In the storm, the tree that stands is not what we photograph. We photograph the destruction and the fallen.
In any event, I hope as you scroll through your social media and your 200 channels, you stop life for a moment and read and consider the thoughts of a rational people and what reality is for the middle, the normal, the common.
It should not be dismissed lightly for the loud and the extreme."

Seattle radio host and Twitter-based criminal defense advocate Paul Gallant "dunked" on President Donald Trump last month by denying that the riots are violent, then the radio host was scored on by rioters who set fire to his apartment.
"Walked through it last night out of curiosity and saw no burning, pillaging, or deaths," Gallant responded in June to Trump's tweet calling out the violent leftists who continue to terrorize Seattle. "Chill dawg," Gallant added sarcastically.
Last night, Gallant had a sudden change of heart towards the "peaceful protestors" when he came home to his apartment complex vandalized. He found the Starbucks underneath torched with graffiti plastered on the storefront. Cops told residents to stay away in case of explosives inside.

The next day it really hit home that those bastards could have gotten her.
I was prepared to drive to pick her and her crew up, but the rental car company allowed everyone to drive their cars to where ever they needed to go. I never forgot that little bit of kindness from corporate America.
Posted by: Jinx the Cat at July 26, 2020 10:19 PM (crGCi)
In my Corporate Days, the company's preferred vendor was National, but by then they had more of a mixed fleet. I drove a lot of Chrysler and GM stock from them.
Interestingly, I still think one will hardly find any Honda product in a rental car fleet. They don't do much in fleet sales, either.
Finally, I believe that Budget/Dollar either is already in bankruptcy, or soon to join that woeful club? I don't keep track like I used to, because I don't travel like I used to.

We were at my aunt's house in San Antonio the day the monorail derailed. I remember seeing my dad on TV helping to rescue people. When he got to my aunt's house that evening, his shirt and pants were horribly bloodied. I was 8 and my brother was 6, so my mom and aunt tried to hide us from seeing dad's clothes, but we saw enough.
It was a horrible day.

I'm sure I was the only Trump supporter (I didn't advertise that), so I found myself with a ready-made focus group of affluent left-wing Portlanders.
An observation - they hate Antifa and the rioters. One guy asked rather plaintively if Portland could establish a curfew (since the rioting all occurs after dark).
I noted that a curfew is useless unless you enforce it, and unless Ted Wheeler has the cojones to arrest hundreds of people for curfew violations, there would be no point to a curfew. He glumly acknowledged that.
They also hate that downtown Portland has been completely trashed - all the stores have been boarded up for a couple of months now, and there is anti-cop graffiti absolutely everywhere.
There was also discussion of the fact that the host, who lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Portland, has just bought a firearm for the first time in his life. I guess he no longer has the assurance that the cops will show up if he calls 911 because someone is breaking into his house.
Are these people going to vote for Trump? No, but there is increasing disquiet that blue cities, with their ever-increasing taxes, have given up on the maintainence of public order.

Our company had a crew stuck in Nome, Alaska due to air travel shutdown. Took them a few days to get home. No way to get out of Nome except by air.
Hunters in private planes were doing their fall hunts in the bush, and noticed that the skies were very quiet--no jets or propeller planes. When they took off, they contacted Flight Service on the radio and found out what happened. I think they arranged a special clearance for them to return to Anchorage.

They will end when the local populace has had enough of them, or when the dipshit mayors and govs believe their jobs are on the line if they DON'T stop them.

- Moderate/average intelligence actress says "They can't fire me. I'm sleeping with the director."
- Low intelligence actress says: "They can't fire me. I'm sleeping with the screenwriter!"

I still can't wrap my mind around what is motivating these young, white women to clearly let themselves be cannon fodder.
Do they think they're immune?
That they won't get hurt?
Or have they so worked themselves up they look forward to being what they imagine will be a martyr?
What has broken these women, that this is their motivation in life?
Not getting married, having children, building a family, a career--no, they want to kill themselves for a cause that doesn't even care they exist.

Most people don't actually live or work in the areas targeted. They don't see it, feel it or know it. Once the riots start to get out of the control of the puppet masters and start going into the more affluent parts of town will they have their noses rubbed in it.

'Crash' sounds so melodramatic for all fall down.
If you're up on your 2 story roof and fall off, you would not describe that as a 28 foot downward crash.
No, you'd say 'I fell off the fucking roof. Call an ambulance, and a beer would be nice too.'

We were flying back from our first Meat Loaf concert in Atlantic City, early flight to O'Hare.
When we landed it was spooky, kinda deserted even for that time and lots of security. We got out of there and headed west to Dixon.
For some reason Jules was driving (do not assume I was hungover) and we stopped at the DeKalb Oasis. We hadn't had the radio on, as we were talking about the trip, but turned it on then.
Heard the 2nd tower was falling and we were freaked out. The concern about us traveling that day is a whole nother story.

Went from Rome, the next day to The Hague for a customer meeting. Was looking for a berth on U.S. flagged freighter to get home, or spending the next several weeks at the MBDA facility in Bristol, U.K. when flights home opened up again.
Had to travel internationally over the next 24 months. Never. AGAIN.

Shining a laser at a cop is also a crime under Oregon law, but Portland isn't enforcing that, of course.

our local cops thrice knocked over my sixty-four year old father. Hit him in the face with a baton, too.
A picture of his father is included - he does have a welt on his nose.
Let's recap:
The Portland police declared a riot in downtown Portland at 1 AM, announced that downtown was closed, and people needed to move to the west, out of downtown. This was all announced over a very loud PA system installed on a squad car.
As always, the Portland cops waited several minutes to give people a chance to disperse before starting to move on the crowd.
So sixty-four-year-old daddy ignored the announcement of a riot at 1 AM, ignored the order to disperse, and got smacked on the schnozz as a result.
Nope, my GAF meter is still pegged at zero.

I remember many years ago, maybe '82, or '83, I got a gig to go do some geological mapping and soil sampling up north of LaRonge, Saskatchewan. It was just before Christmas, but the snow hadn't set in yet. I jumped in my POS '73 Datsun pickup, and set off. The engine blew in Saskatoon. No time to fix the truck, I parked it with a friend there, and rented a late-model Nissan from the dealer, and carried on. Got the job done (fell through the ice on a lake once, but shallow water), and made it back to Saskatoon, and turned in the rental. Found a POS rusty Datsun 710 hatchback, with a strong engine, bought it for a C-note, and drove it back to Calgary.
Drove the 710 to Vancouver for Christmas. Went to a ritzy restaurant on Granville Island with my sis and her family, and the parking valet refused to park it. He claimed he couldn't drive standard shift.
I drove the heap back to Calgary, and the engine never missed a beat. A week later, I got a friend, and a towbar, and went to Saskatoon, and fetched the dead Datsun pickup back, and transplanted the engine from the 710 into it. later sold that truck for a good dollar, too.

I don't think the rioting will ever end.
I dont know how to shake that thought, either.
.......
Faith, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
It sounds weird, but I come here many times to reaffirm it.
As it turns out, most people think like you and they despair like you and they don't know what to do to bring about their vision for the reality. But they are doers and want more than anything to make it happen.
And in times of turmoil, they feel hopeless and helpless because like you because problems are meant to be solved.
So the world may rip at your hope, but never ever ever let them rip at your faith.
You may or may not be a person of faith. But I'll tell you this, the Biblical history recounted demonstrates God is no big hurry on our terms. His timeline is different.
Perhaps that is a depressing thought. To me it is uplifting. I may depart this life without ever seeing an end to turmoil, or at least in its current state.
But I fully understand the present turmoil is not the first or the worst and I am also secure that as much as I desire justice now, justice will eventually reign and when it does, it will reign eternally.
The enemy loses. The good guys win. We are just in the movie. Are we the bit actors that croak early on or are we the main protagonist, that we do not know. But we know we win.

LOL. The person running against Wheeler in the runoff election in November is a crazed pro-Antifa harridan, who, if elected, will pull the cops off of the riot line, and let downtown Portland burn. She really, really, hates the cops.
The only reason she's in the runoff is that the Portland city council, in an utterly stupid move, passed a law saying that political contributions up to $250 will be matched 7-1 by the taxpayers. So, she gets to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on her campaign, 85% of which is being provided by the taxpayers. Talk about compelled political speech.

Even usually quiet Seattle has seen a huge uptick in homicides by gun and knife. Outside and away from the riots.
The casualty toll gets published and then memory holed by the local news. The paper never mentions it. It's all flu manchu or TDS or the peaceful protests including one projectile which blew an 8" hole in the exterior wall of the East Precinct.

Okay, I'll preface this with "I'm about the last person anyone ever should take advice from",
and I'm entirely sure the COBs and the regulars will back me up on that.
With that said, two thoughts:
1. The fear of a thing is worse than the thing itself.
2. Perhaps investigate small places. In my experience, I found it was the floundering church that was still preaching the word.
Okay three things, and you know yourself and your personality, but consider, just maybe, just possibly,
that the Lord has a message to send to the church that does not preach the word and He has selected you to deliver it to a Pastor or a congregation that is in err.
I'm not suggesting you are a prophet, but I am suggesting that the prophets were not the cool kids or late night infomercial salesman.
The finest men at my church have little to say, but when they do I listen.

Long story kept very short: I have cornea erosion in my left eye caused by either an ulcer or abrasion on the cornea. It's quite painful and I've been told it's quite serious. If not treated, the word "blind" was tossed out at the clinic Friday afternoon. Spent Saturday morning at an eye doc and she is sending me to the specialist tomorrow pronto. If you all could say a prayer I'd sure appreciate it.

Heh. You know that old "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" thing?
Well. I am 3 degrees away from both George W. Bush, and Osama bin Laden. I shook hands with the president of Halliburton Canada, when Dick Cheney was boss in the USA, and I know he shook hands with Cheney.
And I shook hands with a friend of mine, who is something of a world traveler, and he said, "Congratulations! You are now 3 degrees away from Osama bin Laden, cause I shook hands with a guy in India who had met him."

I think the dirty secret is, with those "non-profit" foundations, is that based, successful people avoid the work, because it is mostly worthless drudgery, and so it falls to committed leftists to take on the foundation jobs for the graft involved.
Solution? All charitable foundations should have a sunset provision, and must wind up their work, and disperse their endowment 20 years after the death of their founder.

I don't know the degrees. But I got to shake hands with GHWB, in 1983 at the Ft. Worth Convention Center, where I was the 2nd youngest delegate at the Texas Republican Convention, leading to the '84 Reagan/Bush re-election.

Well, been down here in San Diego for about 1.5 months. Been trying to drum up business (home inspections), which is tough under normal circumstances, but nary impossible during the WuFlu hysteria. Been driving all over, visiting real estate offices, most of which are closed. I've also joined the local association of realtors, and last week I sat in on their virtual "tours", to introduce myself...
Aside from one job at the end of June, which was for a client of one of my agents up north, I haven't gotten a nibble... until yesterday, when a local agent called me for an inspection, scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully, it'll result in more inspections for the same agency, and word-of-mouth will grow from there.
We're not yet hurting financially. We've got savings, Average Wife's salary, and we just got a small inheritance from my dad who passed away in June. Plus we've got a moderate income from renting our house out up north. But, business has to really grow if we're gonna make it down here, so...
...prayers appreciated. Thanks...

Why?
People are at least thinking about selling. Apparently WA state law requires prospective seller to have the inspections done.

No such law in CA, but the history of litigation in CA makes pre-sale inspections a no-brainer...At least in the Bay Area where I worked for the last 16 years. Here in the SD area, it seems like a lot more sellers forego the listing inspection and leave it to the buyers (caveat emptor & all that). It seems like a lot of inspectors down here also offer verbal-only inspection "reports", which is unheard of up north. Needless to say, I won't be offering those.

I got a shitload of stuff done today. Have a guy who wants to buy two old Studebaker truck cabs off me, so I moved parts all day. Smaller ones on the golf cart, bigger ones with the tractor and loader.
One cab is still on the chassis, and it was piled high with steel: car bumpers, structural steel pipe, tubing, flat bar, angle, and channel. Plus car bumpers, axles. springs, some old hydraulic cylinders, you name it. Literally several tons of it. Picked that all off, and threw it on the ground. By hand.
Dragged the chassis out to an open area, so I can unbolt the cab from it.
Broke up four old rotten pallets, and burned them in the burn barrel. Moved the stuff on the pallets to other storage sites.
Mowed a quarter of the yard.
I am bushed.

Here in Kneehill County, I don't even need a burn permit for the burn barrel, because it is an "enclosed fire". If I want to open burn, which I did a couple of months ago, I can go on line to the county's site, fill out a form, and get a printable permit e-mailed back in a few minutes (unless there is a fire ban on).
My current burn barrel is a heavy-weight 55 gallon barrel, with three old brake shoes welded to the bottom rim to act as legs, and some scraps of rebar welded criss-cross across the bottom to act as a grate. It burns pretty clean because that ensures good draft.

Any confidence I have is based on my belief in God. But we've suffered enough trauma lately to know that success is not guaranteed, and the road may be fraught with pain. Failure is a distinct possibility. We do have retreat plan (return north, which is why we kept the house), but that itself would be filled with challenges. Just have to stay positive, and proactive.

Heh! Thanks for the vote of confidence. I started my old Panhard today, and backed it up the new ramp into the shop and onto the hoist. But not before fixing the main battery switch. The car has a cable-operated switch on the firewall to interrupt the ground to the battery. Good idea. All cars should have one, to shut down all electrics in the event of a wreck, or if one has a mysterious problem resulting in the battery going dead overnight.
But being French, they didn't do it straightforward. Oh, no, that would have been too easy. The switch has a lever, pulled by a cable leading to a knob on the dash. Each pull of the cable ratchets a wheel a quarter-turn. It works exactly like one of those old pull-chain light sockets: pull once, light comes on, pull again, light goes off.
With a pull knob in the dash, one sort of expects the "pull" to do one action, and the "push" to reverse it. E.G. hood latch. No, this thing, you pull once to disconnect the battery, and pull again to reconnect it. There is a spring to retract the pull knob, and it probably would, if the cable were properly lubricated.
Now that I have if figured out (by dint of taking it all apart), its operation is a no-brainer. But you just don't expect that sort of thing. It is un-carlike.
But no one will ever manage to steal this thing. heh.

True enough, although the knob is marked "battery earth". I figured, upon initially seeing it, "hmmm, pull out to break the circuit, push in to reconnect." Nope, full stroke out to disconnect, push all the way in, and full stroke out to reconnect. Takes a full 90-degree swing on the lever for the ratchet to catch a tooth. Imagine a ratchet-handle for a socket wrench with only four teeth.
And the four-speed transmission on the column would baffle most Millennials, too. Feels like stirring under-done spaghetti in a pot with a fork, it does.

This is true. There is a gadget you can buy, called a "Green Knob" that is a battery terminal with, wait for it, a green knob on it, that can spin a couple of turns to the left to break the circuit. They cost a few dollars. But lead-acid batteries have a self-discharge rate that is temperature-dependent, and may amount to more than a "few milliamps". I learned the hard way not to leave a battery in my car in Arizona over the summer. by Fall, it will be dead and sulphated, and good only for scrap.

In a game in Exhibition Stadium Dave Winfield threw a ball that hit and killed a seagull.
It sounds like the setup for a joke.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Winfield, after warming up between innings, threw the ball he was using back towards the dugout and hit a seagull, killing it.
If you are old enough to remember Exhibition Stadium, you will remember that seagulls liked the place.
There was a fair bit of debate over whether he did it on purpose or not. I always thought that it was possible he threw at the bird, but figured it would see it and fly off. I'm pretty sure he never figured he would hit it. That would take pretty good aim, even if it didn't move. He was about 80 feet away from the bird when he threw the ball.
His manager, Billy Martin, said "That's the first time Winfield's hit the cutoff man all year."

They had 79 cases and 15 deaths of COVID-19 then managed to get down to 0 cases a few weeks ago, requiring quarantines for new arrivals.
Now, they have 36 cases.
The world cases have jumped from 3 million to 4 million in short order.
There seems to be a new dynamic to the pandemic, not solely related to the US, that isn't being talked about.

Absolutely. And there are videos out there; I just looked.
Two others I'd have liked to see:
Yaz's throw in the 1978 playoff (the Bucky Dent game). As it was Fenway, it may not have been that long, but it was a great play.
The other has no film, but according to his contemporaries, Bob Meusal in the 1920s had the best arm of anyone. At home he played left, because it was the sun field, and 460 feet. In most road parks he played right. Would love to see it, but alas.

People are scared to death of the virus, wearing masks, quitting their jobs, macing and shooting people who aren't wearing masks...
And then more and more people get the virus and either don't know they have it or it's similar to a chest cold, and they trust science less and less. Not the party pushing the bullsh*t or the Democrats shutting the economy down, but science itself.
We're headed for a new dark age.

We are absolutely failing Americans in public schools with poor math preparation. STEM is going away for all but a few in the US. Art today is mostly self-indulgent crap.
Bill Gates kneecapped us, along with many others.
At least Steve Jobs told pbho what he needed from the education establishment. He was ignored.

Exercised and washed but not shaved; forked hay for the feline livestock. Whassup?
Rain here again today and tomorrow, so there is no point in my washing the car until Wednesday. I have 2 Zoom "meetings" this week, and may be going back to the office next week, so it feels like vacation is over and "school" starts very soon. Remember that sensation, that time was running out and you had to go back to the classroom?

Even more, do not get a black interior. The sales people will tell you, "Black doesn't show dirt." I got news for ya, Sparky: Unless you're a coal miner or you're tracking copier toner into your car, black interiors show dirt. They may show wear worse than light colored interiors too.

Yep. Oh, and young urban black men are respectful, dignified, hard-working, well informed citizens who are just trying to get into Harvard."

We're a long way from the days when, on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob buys a new sports car. We never actually see the car, just hear about it. No actual brand name is given, it's just called The Tarantula (a play on the Fiat Spyder, I guess).
On the other hand, he did spots for Kent cigarettes outside the main story, but standing on the Petrie house set, thus implying that Rob smoked Kents.

I don't even really mind the subtle ones like that. Products can define characters. Craftsmen tools but a clean garage vs snap-on tools that the guy can never seem to find, etc.
I just hate that it's everywhere now. The moment I realized TV and movies were f*cked was when BMW introduced their new-model sh*tty little 140hp 4 cylinder Z3 as James Bond's car.

I went to a granduation party on Friday. Not a mask in sight probably 100 people, many sitting at bar side by side. Went out to eat yesterday in a packed restaurant, again no masks except for the waiters. If people knew how normal it is here I am afraid our state would gain population quickly!
