Observations

Where do I count

Certainly , not much in dealing with a bank or the government
credit card companies

so , I suppose it all comes down to personal relationships
and do I carry over the feelings engendered by dealing w/ corporations
Dunno

On NPR , the topic was executive salaries and this has nothing to do w/ me
the panelist lady said that the rules were made simpler 15 years ago
and instead of a board of directors setting bonuses , the gov't tied the bonuses to
specific performance criteria e.g. share price or gain in capital

Well since then , salaries have soared b/c the people who govern performance criteria within the institution have become very good at making the numbers look good
where it counts
that is , in those areas that affect their salaries even at cost of other
parameters in the corporation

thus the company , performs well where it pays the executive branch
but other areas suffer

Weather : warmer for sure
wet on and off
the roller coaster of April for the GWN

Oh ,turned on the outside taps
I drain the line from inside the house
and open the valve come spring
Sprung a small leak in the feeder line inside the house
It drips from around the valve
Of course , this valve is above my head
above the ceiling
and in between ducts and other pipes including the gas line

Love to take a propane torch up there

Gonna take a long hard look at this one

I have a new phrase for Siri - craps on a cracker ( note the  ' s ' )
B/c thats how the dice shooting went down in NY

Yepper , craps on a cracker
