You read here and saw on TV and the news about the Florida blackout. Half the state lost power. Over 3 million people lost power on Tuesday.
Well an employee was checking a switch, at a substation, and he disabled two levels of relay protection and that caused the massive power outage in Florida.
You see these substations all over the United States. They have no security.
We are spending billions and billions of dollars on homeland security and one employee can kill power to half a state. What if bad guys get people hired at key locations in the United States and do something like this? Hell they do not even have to get hired. They just need to know how to do it and they can drive to the substation break the padlock and do it.

When I was in school and should have been learning about grammar I did not learn anything. I know you can tell by reading my blog correct?
Thank God for computer spell checkers.
Now that I know I am not going to die, right this second with a heart attack, maybe I should try and improve the grammar of Howard's Notebook.
I got a book on grammar on my Amazon Wish List.
But I was thinking that maybe one of you would want to take on the job of helping me correct my major grammar errors. The idea that I have is that I post to the blog. You see what needs to be corrected and then you strip me nude and spank my bottom for being a bad boy.
Sorry little day dreaming.
I am sure my grammar is much worst than I think it is.
I am looking for someone that can start small and be gentle with me. Someone that is not going to try and correct everything at one time. If the teacher blasts me and tells me that everything is wrong that will not help me. It will just make me want to give up right on the spot.
I was thinking some retired English teacher might this blog anyway and want to send me an email and start pointing out some of the common grammar errors that I make over and over again.
Believe me I know there must be many grammar errors.
If your interested in helping me out and want to give it a try drop me an email:
jhoward@hnbbs.net
I could set it up so that you could post to the blog. Maybe each few days you could post a short post and show what was wrong and make it sort of a lesson for all of us. Show how it should have been written.
I could set it up so you could post. Of course I would have to review the post and then approve it. You would post and then when I got time I would look at it and click on the approve button. If you're shy and don't want to write a post you could just email me.

I admire John McCain for his statement on Bill Cunningham. Many political people would have said something very mild but John McCain blasted Cunningham. Keep in mind Bill Cunningham was the warm up act, that night, for John McCain.
John McCain was so firm in his statement about Bill Cunningham that the talk show host went on Fox "news" and attacked both Obama and John McCain. Then later on his radio talk show Bill Cunningham said he was going to vote for Hillary Clinton.
