First Day of Moving

    Ken made two trips to the new place today with stuff.  I made two trips with stuff.  We both spent time cleaning the place. 
   We are both back at the old place.  I am going to box up the TV and a few other things and take a nap.  When I wake up.. Not sure if it will be at 9 or 10 pm or 3 am ..but when ever I do wake up.. I am going to load up the car and go back to the new place.
   I will setup the two computers..I will clean and I will wait for the cable man. He should come tomorrow between 0700 and 1100 hours.

   I took a few photos but they were not very good.  But here is a view of the outside of the place.

Bush is a Jackass of All Trades

   My God...  Now Bush is talking about "World War III" because of Iran.  President Bush is a jackass of all trades.  He screws up everything.  You know how the radio talk have a delay so they can censor something that someone says.. we need that on Bush... a time delay so we can delete stupid things that he says..

   Ken and I leave soon to pick up the key to the new place.  We will clean it.  We will take a few items over to the place.  Before 0700 hours tomorrow I have to get both my computers over there and set up because the cable man will come tomorrow between 0700 and 1100 hours.
   That should give us faster Internet service but only local TV channels. 
   With me having less TV channels to watch..you may get less of my political crap here.   

   It will be interesting to see how good or bad Comcast cable is going to be.. the upload speed should be about 3 times faster than I have had for the last 3 years.  I should get an extra 3 M of download speed.  We will see it it works out that way..

 

Social Security increase for 2008 will be 2.3%

"WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Social Security benefits will increase 2.3% next year, administrators said Wednesday. The cost-of-living adjustment, beginning in January, impacts Social Security benefits received by almost 50 million Americans...."
  That is going to be an extra $25.00 a month for me.  We will get the increase starting in January (2008).

   Well ShowMeBlog had 2200 hit yesterday.  That is pretty good.  But a large number of those did a search for "YouPorn" and they found their way to this blog.  I think very few of them will be back.
    For those people looking for adult (porn) check out Cams.Com  I hope you will buy lots of porn because I get a commission.  Smile.  Right now I have earned $32.14 and they pay out when the amount is $50.00 or more.. so check out their site and buy buy buy.  Smile

    

 

Social Security Increase for 2008

  Ken and I will get the key to the new place .  Tomorrow I will see the inside of the place for the first time.  We are going to clean it.  
  We will move some stuff in on Thursday but the big move day is Friday.  I have to get two computers over there and hooked up Friday before 0700.  The Comcast guy will be there between 0700 and 1100 hours to hook up the TV and Internet.  I am not sure we will have a TV there at that time.. but I want to make sure get both computers hooked up to the Internet.

   I will try and post some photos and a video of the new place tomorrow.

   I heard on TV that there will be a Social Security increase of 2.3% and that we will get it in January (2008) but I have not found anyone on line about it yet.
  

New Internet Service

 Today or tomorrow should be the last day for me using Atlantic Broadband for Internet service.  I been paying for their fastest service and paying for extra IP numbers.
  I think I been getting 5 Mbps down and 256 Kbps up.
  Friday with Comcast I should be getting 8 Mbps down and 768 Kbps up.  I am not real sure on that.. I guess we will see on Friday.
   
    I just did a speed test using SpeedTest.Net 
    I got a download speed of 4698 kb/s and an upload speed of 230 kb/s.

     That site will show you how you stand with speed.  It says that my connection is 55% faster than other global connections. They have some data and it looks like that right now with the service that I have now.. I am right in the middle with most other people.
      So my hope is that on Friday I am going to be better than everyone else.  Smile.  Well just kidding.. I do hope I get a faster Internet connection.

Last day of blogging from here?

  I got my first computer in 1978.  I lived in Kansas City MO.
  I put a bulletin board system on line in June of 1982 from Belton MO.  It started out with one phone line and at 300 baud.  Later it had three or four phone lines, about 1995, and I moved it to the world wide web. 
  So I been doing a blog since 1982.  I am not sure when I first put a web cam on line but I was one of the first.  So the blog was invented in Belton MO.  Blogging was invented in Missouri USA.
   I was sending out video via a webcam before broadband came to my area.  I can remember getting cable modem service for the first time.  That was Belton MO.  It must have been 106 degrees or more in my room.  The install guy did a fast install and got the heck out of the trailer.
   I did web sites and blogging for years and had a webcam on 24/7 for years.  Later (2000) I moved to Orlando FL for a year or so and did blogging there and sending out video.  We were at two location in Orlando.  Then later we moved to the Dallas TX area for a couple of years.  So you saw video from Texas (two different locations).  Then we moved to Miami FL and been here almost five years at this one location blogging and sending out video.
    I think today will be the last time I send out video from this location.  We should move into our new condo, we will be renting, about 9 miles from here.  We will still be in Miami FL.
    We should get the key to the new place tomorrow and move in tomorrow.  Then on Friday morning they should install cable Internet service sometime between 0700 and 1100 hours (10/19/2007). 
     I will try and jump in here and let you know how the move went.. and I hope to have some photos of the new place.
    

Drought and Staph and Racial Slurs Painted on Pigs

  "At the end of September about 43 percent of the contiguous United States was in moderate to extreme drought, the National Climate Data Center said Tuesday.

   Worldwide, meanwhile, the agency said the year to date has been the warmest on record for land. It has been the seventh warmest year so far over the oceans, working out to the fourth warmest overall worldwide..."   CNN

     It looks like worldwide warming is here.  Maybe Al Gore should have run for President this time.  Smile

     "CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- More than 90,000 Americans get potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant staph "superbug," the government reported Tuesday in its first overall estimate of invasive disease caused by the germ..."  CNN

        The above is one reason that you should stay out of hospitals.  Yes if you must go to the hospital then you need to go ...but some people pop into the hospital to have things done they don't need done.  There should be warning signs when you drive up to a hospital warning you that your in danger by going into the area.  People that work in hospitals know about all the bad infections in the hospital.  Of course in other places like nursing homes and places like that..
        In the old days children were not allowed to go up and see patients except maybe for Christmas day or Mothers day or something like that.. also visitor access was limited.  But things have changed and now you all go to see your friends at the hospital and you bring your kids.  You bring your baby and let him or her play on the floor of the hospital.  I bet your worrying about that toy from China but you have other things you need to worry about.
         If you read the CNN story on the deadly super infections you will see that one of the things we need to do is cut back on the use of antibiotics.  It is not going to happen.  You get a virus and you go to the doctor for antibiotics right.  Antibiotics do not work on a virus.  But your doctor is not going to even try and tell you that.. I don't think..  because you will change doctors if you go and don't get an antibiotic from him.
         I am not sure what the answer to the problem is..  we got too many laws now.. I can't see them passing a law to force a cut back on antibiotics.  Your doctor would just say you had something else... Or people would pop up and supply the antibiotics.

Blackwater shooting unprovoked says Iraq

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi investigation into last month's Blackwater USA shooting is complete, and it proves that the private contractors committed unprovoked and random killings in the incident, an adviser to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said Tuesday..."
Prime Miniser Nuri al-Maliki has asked the State Department to pull Blackwater out of Iraq.  Blackwater CEO says guards were fired upon.

  The Turks are being ass holes.  We don't need to piss any more people in the world off however.. We need Turkey.  We need their air space and need for them to not enter into Iraq.  I wish we had not come up with the resolution on the Armenian genocide.  If Turkey would have just told the truth over last 90 or 100 years on the subject no one would say anything about it.  But they lie and say it did not happen.. and you better not be in Turkey and say that it did happen.  They have re-written history.  Now it is going to hurt us to past the stupid non-binding resolution in the House on the other fucking hand.. I don't like Turkey trying to tell us what to do and black mailing us. 
   On the other hand.. God we do not need to piss anyone off at this point.  When 9/11 took place the entire world was on our side and we had friends every where and Bush spit in their faces and pissed on all the good feelings everyone had for us.  Back then we could have told Turkey to go fuck them self. Now it will be like shooting ourself in the foot.

 "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Verizon Communications says it has provided federal, state and local law enforcement agencies tens of thousands of communication and business records relating to customers based on emergency requests without a court order or administrative subpoena..."  
   Well "1984" is here now.  Verizon says they received tens of thousands of "emergency" requests for records and they were all legal.  Keep in mind this is just Verizon. 
   We must sweep all of the Republicans out of government.  We need a clean sweep.  I am fucking sorry to say that we need complete invesigations.  We need to find out what they did and how they did it.  Then we need to fix things.
    One thing is we need to alway have a man of honor as AG of the United States.  We can not afford or allow any more ass kissing men to be AG.  Maybe he should be independent from the President. 
   

New Florida minimum wage

"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida's minimum wage will increase 12 cents an hour next year.

The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation said the $6.79 rate will start Jan. 1. It is based on an annual consumer price adjustment.

For workers whose tips are counted as part of their wage, the minimum will go to $3.77 an hour, plus the worker's tips. That is up from $3.65 an hour set for this year..."

There is a problem with the above information.  Many of the workers down here are not legal.  The people that hire them pay them very little money and sometimes do not pay them anything.
I have heard stories of people that are not legal working in security and being paid very little money.  So that is a problem.
Also the $3.65 lower wage I have commented on before...but I had a couple of people send me an email or leave a comment here that they work in the service field and they are OK with the lower pay because they get good tips.  I still wonder if all the workers making the low wage get good tips.  My feeling is that everyone should be paid at least the minimum wage.  I forget that the people bring me food are only paid $3.65 an hour and I still tip.  I would still tip if they got $6.79 an hour.
