Friday Rant

OK – While I deeply feel for the residents of Texas who lost so much during the hurricane, I cannot abide the raise in gasoline prices at the pump in anticipation of the storm. Two days before it hit, the price went up 6 cents, the day before it went up 10 cents. Now that the refineries will be back in action, how long will it take the prices to go back down? And while we’re on this, how come the cost of crude oil has dropped by over 30 percent, but the price at the pump has only dropped by about 7 percent.

The oil companies say that the reason it takes the prices so long to come down is that there is an inventory of the more expensive fuel on hand, and the prices will slowly drop as the more costly  fuel is replaced with the cheaper fuel. BS (Bad Story) – if that were the case it would rise just as slowly as the cheaper fuel is replaced by the more costly fuel.

Now that we are talking about fuel, has Nancy Pelosi finally “lost it?” She and her ilk, would be very happy to see us spending 8 or 9 dollars a gallon for gas, so more pressure can be put on Congress to pump money into “Green” thingys, like solar, windmills, and ethanol.

Now, don’t get me wrong. We do need more alternative energy sources. But as ethanol has been being used as an additive to gasoline, what has happened to the price of corn? It has risen sharply as more and more of the harvest is being used for fuel. How about the animals that depend on corn for feed, manufacturers of food products who use corn, and oh yes, how about the cost to people?

Why are the Democrats against Nuclear Reactors? France generates 80 percent of its fuel with them, and recycles the spent fuel to be used over and over and over, while we store our waste in silos in places like the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site in South Carolina.

Our economy took some major hits with the failure of Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae, and the beat goes on - Lehman and Merrill Lynch also down the tubes. And, who is paying for this? Giving mortgages to people who simply can’t afford them, hoping for a bail-out and getting it, is sticking it to us. These people who approved these loans should be in jail, as well as the government agencies that are supposed to be providing oversight.

Obama says that 95 percent of the people in our country will get a tax cut. Doesn’t he realize that the top half of earners earn 88% of the income and pay 97% of the taxes. The bottom half earn 12% of the income and pay less than 3% of the taxes. This means our tax code is highly progressive; i.e. the rich pay much more taxes than the poor, even after adjusting for earnings. And 40 percent of the people in our country do not pay any taxes at all, and he wants to give those an arbitrary tax grant.

I agree with many that the IRS has outlived its usefulness. Why not simply do away with all the deduction BS (See above for meaning) and institute a flat tax. Put everyone on the books and stop the underground society that exists, who are being paid under the table.

I’ve covered a lot of ground here today, but if you think about it, all these problems are related.  It is caused by greed, pure and simple greed. Now, couple with this with some of the elected Loons, who hire incompetent people to provide oversight who don’t, and people who would kill you if you harm a caribou, and things start to fall into focus.

Over the course of the year, Follow the tips below to ensure laptop safety while you're in the air!

1.) Should you carry your laptop or pack it with your other belongings? This one is simple. You should keep your laptop with you at all times. It will definitely be one of your carry-on pieces, so always plan for that. You don't want to leave your laptop in the hands of baggage claim, because you never know what could happen to it. Also, while you're on the plane, don't store your laptop in the overhead stow away area. Always keep it with you on your lap or by your feet. It's the best way to make sure it stays safe during the flight.

2.) How will security check-in go? I know you may be worried about going through security at the airport. When going through the line, you may be required to take your laptop out of its carrying case. You may also be asked to turn it on to allow security to ensure that it is an actual working computer and nothing else. You may want to go ahead and have it turned on while you're waiting in line to save you some time. The security officials will do some "hand checking" and that will be that.

3.) What about the x-ray part of security? It may be a common perception that laptops shouldn't go through the x-ray equipment, but in all honesty, it will not harm your laptop. The magnetic field it uses is not strong enough to damage your hard drive or any of your stored data. Do keep in mind though that metal detectors can cause some problems with laptops, so make sure you kindly ask the security officials to hand check your computer instead of sending it through the detector.

4.) If you're leaving the country on your trip, you can definitely still take your laptop with you, but you need to make sure you keep any documents you are given during customs and any original receipts. All of this is just common safety so that the airline knows you came back with the exact same laptop you left the country with. If you can't provide proof of ownership, you may run into some problems.

5.) What should I do with the laptop while waiting for my flight to leave? While sitting in the waiting area, you should try to distance yourself and give yourself a little privacy, especially if you're going to use your laptop while you're waiting. If you're going to leave it in its carrying case, it's not as big of a deal, but always be cautious of the people around you. You don't want anyone looking over your shoulder while you use it or asking you questions about it. You can never be too careful with a precious piece of equipment such as a laptop.

6.) Another common knowledge tip is to never let the laptop out of your sight. Even if you leave it for just a second, it could be gone by the time you turn back around. If you're with someone you know and trust, you can obviously leave the laptop with them, but otherwise, keep it with you all the time. Also, if you're asked to set the laptop down for any reason during the security check-in, keep your eye on it at all times, just to be safe.

7.) Have there been any reports of laptop theft in airports? There haven't really been any reported incidents like this, but you never know what could happen. It's a good idea to keep this type of thing in mind, because a scam could always occur. Just be cautious and use common sense.

8.) One last thing you should practice when traveling with your laptop is to keep your carrying case locked. If you're able to lock up the case, do so. This prevents anyone from getting into the case if you happen to not be looking. If you keep the case by your feet, someone could easily access it from below, so always keep an eye open for that as well.

I know some of these tips may sound a little scary and they may make you wary of taking your laptop with you on trips, but it's really not so bad. If you are cautious of your laptop at all times and you keep it safe under your own standards, you will have no problems.

A Little Humor for the Weekend

Estate Planning
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Dan was a single guy living at home with his widowed father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a
fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. 'I may look like just an ordinary man,' he said to her, 'but in just a few years, my widowed father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars.'

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three months later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at estate planning than men

A band performing at an outdoor concert kept playing although the crowd had dwindled down to one man. Finally, the tired musicians told the man that if he left, they could all go home.

"It's up to you," he answered. "I'm just waiting to put away all those folding chairs."
