I larned sum new math tuday

I did not know that round up to the next whole number meant add "1".
For example:
160 / 50 = 3.2
Rounding up to the next whole number means 3.2 +1 = 4.2!

This comes from my Expurt Code Consultant (a registered professional engineer*) and my Third Party Building Permit Reviewers (also professional engineers).

All this time, since my middle school math days I've been under the misguided notion that whole numbers were like, oh, I don't know, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

I am so elated to have my childish notion of basic math corrected after all these 40 years or so of delusion.

This disagreement on basic math is actually a very big fucking problem for one of my projects.

I am surrounded by highly educated morons.  Time for another adult beverage.

Rub some dirt on it

Michelle Fields, Breitbart reporter, is whining that some "goon" at a Trump event gave her a boo boo.
Andrew is rolling in his grave.
In my estimation, Breitbart's news organization has been infiltrated.
Get over it. Even Greta agrees.

 Precious Snowflake, I have a theme song for you.

Hmmmm, indeed

No effort to fact check this yet but my  subconscious connected some dots while killing time in Boston Logan.
Headline says Trump has won the open primaries, whereas Cruz has won the closed primaries.
"Republican" voter turnout is said to be "up".  Democrat voter turnout is said to be down.
Recent polls have shown all the contending Republican candidates, except Trump beating Hillary.

Stack the deck much?

This brings the thought that Democrats aren't crossing the line so much in support of Trump as ensuring the one guy Hillary can beat gets nominated.*

The primary calendar now moves toward more closed primaries. So we shall see how the con man's fortunes fair.

* assuming she isn't indicted...not holding my breath.

Super Tuesday

This may, or may not be the end of my faith in my fellow Americans.
We shall see come tomorrow.
Trump is a con man and his con is working on a lot of people.
I pray the voters have a moment of illumination before they push the Trump button.
Personally I've never seen another man that could make the word "luxurious" sound so slimy.

Nooooooo! Not right now

Oh.  HeHe.
Its for the man child.

Iowa Cadaver is on the TV

Caucus I mean.
The winner of the Iowa caucus has not won a presidential election in 16 years.
I've one hairy eyeball on Fox news. The sound is muted. I don't need to listen to the talking heads mentally masturbate.
The numbers at the bottom of the screen are all that matter, for what that is worth.
I heard on the radio that the expected voter turn out could be north of 100,000.
Weeeee!  We wonder why we get such dickheads in positions of power.
Rubio is slowly eating Trump's support.
Cruz is leading at the moment.
Clinton, hack spit, and Sanders are separated by two points.

Damn! Dog.

You been eating peanuts again?
How such nose hair searing smells come out of such a small animal I will never know.

WTF, Srsly? Iowa?

How did Iowa become such an important primary state?

3.1 million people, most of which have vested interest in ethanol.*

There are more people in my county than the whole of Iowa.

This is completely ducked up.

* Pro tip. If you have a flex fuel vehicle that is claimed to run on E85, don't do it.
Period, end of story.
Your vehicle will die a premature death.

True Love Comes in all shapes and sizes..

Yes true love does indeed come in all shapes and sizes.

I have several true loves..    and yes of course Kx knows ALL about them.

Naturally those of you know know me know that one of those true loves are things that go bang and put a shooty goodness smile on my face...   but of course I am not speaking of that true love...

No..   I am speaking of the truest love you can possibly have and that is the love that you feel for your children, then eventually your grandchildren.

I am in Galveston with my oldest daughter and her son, my little man.

The little man suffered a severe burn on both his legs and his feet due to a household accident about a year and a half ago.  He is three now, 18 months old when it happened.

That being said, he had a laser procedure today and bottom line is, the young man amazes me.  He is tough, he is resilient and through it all, he tosses out the random hugs, kisses and "I love you Nana"s

I am in grandbaby heaven, even if the circumstances aren't the best.

The little man simply warms my heart and its' been a happy couple of days.

Cherish every moment you have with those you love.  Always let them know how much they mean to you and with your grandchildren?   Give them their heart's desire every chance you get.. after all, you don't have to suffer the consequences of a spoiled child... that's mom and dad's job!

Until next time....

Surveying the aftermath

Back in DC for the day.

Reagan national airport was a zoo.
DC was pretty much a ghost town.

It was still a bit snowish...
