Water is free? I don't think so. People pay water bills, your taxes help pay for services, and in Europe, municipal water is much more expensive than here in the states.

Water from a tap isn't free, but if that's all the water you used, I would expect your water bill would be very very low. whereas bottled water costs more for a gallon than a gallon of gasoline.

United Breaks Guitars

In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world.

I remember when they used to let you carry on guitars. One of the last times I got away with it I made it all the way to the gate. I handed the lady my boarding pass and she handed me the stub before she noticed my guitar. I made it 2-3 steps past her and she said, "Excuse me, you're going to have to check that." I just kept on walking and said "It's ok. I'm a musician."
I was very lucky to get away with it and never tried again. When I travel now with my cellos I buy an extra seat.

You're probably right. But the press is fickle; they're unable to sustain continuous, non-stop coverage of a single story for more than a few days if it's something of real importance, or a few months if it involves celebrities.

Having something be French makes that thing more appealing, I think.

For example: A number of weeks ago, a friend of mine and I were having a few drinks at my place, when he convinced me to open up a bottle of a 2000 Bordeaux I'd been saving for years. Well- turns out it was a good thing we opened the bottle, because the cork had started to bleed, but hadn't hurt the wine yet. It was perfect- and delicious.

So we're enjoying some wine, playing some tunes, when I move to suddenly, and knock over my wine glass, breaking it, and getting wine all over my desk. I quickly tried to clean it all up, and thankfully none got on the computer, but it was quite a scene for a few minutes. I looked over at my friend when I sat back down and he said, "at least you trashed your desk on a fine Bordeaux."

Good evening.

The market lost about 2% today, and the Dow is now down 1.5% since the new President took office.

Oil has dropped to $62 and change. I want to give credit where credit is due. The drop in oil is due mainly to President Obama and the Democrats in control in Congress. The market is becoming convinced that with them in charge the prospects for a recovery are very remote in the foreseeable future, so demand for oil will be low, thus the sell off.

When we brought a Citroen back to the States in the early Sixties, we had to go through hell to get it legalized. The halogen headlights did not conform to some stupid reg or other.

I had the TV on in my office this afternoon and nothing else was on, so I watched the spectacle while working. I have to admit that it was mostly tasteful. But when that piece of shit al sharpton spoke, I had my usual reaction to him. He is a racist with blood on his hands (Crown Heights circa 1990). And I really don't care to hear him talk about how Michael made being Black acceptable to white America. Al disrespects Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and many other jazz legends who came up in the south when racism was far worse. He also must have never heard of Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, or Jesse Owens.

I get the feeling now that a lot of shippers and receivers are cutting WAY back as they think that things are going to get worse. It is a vicious cycle. When freight volume drops off the freight rates hit the crapper, thus putting people out of business.

The Messiah says that they did not misread the economy:

Obama: Administration Did Not Misread Economic Downturn

Contrary to comments made this past weekend by Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama says that the administration did not misread the economic downturn.
“We haven't always gotten the numbers right, but I think the general overview is right,” Obama told NBC News Tuesday. “We went through an economic tsunami that was far worse than anything we have gone through since the Great Depression, and even early on I think we did not see the full magnitude of what was going to happen."

Earth to Obama - Getting the numbers wrong means you misread the economy. Not seeing the full magnitude as you say, is also misreading the economy.

So when is he going to blame Bush again? Right, here:

“[My administration] came in [on] January 20th. It was only after the first-quarter numbers came in, if you recall, that suddenly everybody looked and said the economy shrank six percent so it was happening much more rapidly at an accelerated pace than the projections out there at the time” he said.

Um... President Obama? The market was dropping 700 points a day in October and November, and you needed 1st quarter numbers to know that the economy was contracting quickly?

How dumb do these people think we are?
