    Wanna fly a kite?

    Just beware of the power lines! I found these on the net and thought I'd share. At least we don't have to try to tie into something like these. I remember seeing similar stuff in the Dominican Republic when I was there.

    When I went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic we saw stuff like that and one of the guys with me was a lineman for the local electric company. I think he had nightmares about that stuff for weeks.

    We also saw something that made me wish I had a camera handy. It was political election time and a group of people were hanging a political sign from the power lines going across the road. They had an aluminum ladder in the back of a pickup truck with one guy on top reaching over the line to hang the sign. About 8 guys in the back of the truck holding the extension ladder up straight so it wouldn't fall onto the power line. YIKES!

    OK - I take back every bad thing (almost) I've ever said about inspectors.

    This also proves rule # 3

    I have been working as an HVAC mechanic in Iraq for over 2 years now and while I havent seen anything that bad yet, I have seen some pretty crazy stuff.

    IIRC the reason the lines look so bad in some of those places is because the people illegally tap the lines themselves to steal power. Yet another excellent example of why DIY is usually not a good idea.
    To get the degree symbol ° on Windows hold down the Alt key and type 0176 or 248 on the keyboard number pad. It is also available via the character map, and on Windows 8.1 devices with a touchscreen via the on screen keyboard.

    There is no "E" in either BluVac or Blu-ray Disc.

    If you are the type where the painting is more important than the frame, or you just like movies, join me in listening to the widescreen.org podcast.

    So you didn't ask, what you though was a stupid question. Now how, are you going to tell the boss about your stupid screw up?
