A Brief Note -- Sunday, September 29th, 2013

Sorry that things have been so disarrayed recently.  Hopefully, that will be changing soon.  It is Sunday evening.  Lord willing, this is our last night in Lower Alabama.  Again, Lord willing, this time tomorrow we will be on the highway progressing towards the Greater Cleveland area.  This has been a very very rough month or two, as we make some substantial changes in our lives. Having been away from virtually our entire extended family for more than 20 years, it's like Going Home.  Sort of.  Not sure my real Home is on this earth anyway, but will be nice to see family again.
So come back soon, we hope to have things more in order as possible.

Brief word 1/1/13

been on hiatus.
back shortly

another one gone

Most people know the name Briggs & Stratton.  Among other things, they make small-horsepower gasoline engines for lawn mowers, portable generators, and such.  Good name, good brand, good reputation.
And pulling the rug out like so many others.
It was announced yesterday that they are reducing their involvement in the operation in Auburn, Alabama to the tune of some 250 jobs.
And moving the work to  China.
Some may regard this as progress.  I am not one of them.  Nor, I suspect, would be those directly affected, or their neighbors, families, and others.

Brief Word

this blog has been in an unplanned hiatus for too long. I will be changing that in the near future, Lord willing, as some aspects of our life even out. Stay tuned, there is much to see on this matter.

Today's Entry Drywall with updates on 11 April

Drywall. Gypsum board. Sheet rock. You may know it under other names, but most of us know what it is, it is part of the system of the walls in your home, and, probably, your office, church, and the like. Places where people are. Some pretty good makers in this country, names like US Gypsum, Certainteed, Georgia-Pacific and others.

But, alas!, someone decided to bring some in from the ChiComs. Nothing like enriching the People's Liberation Army, the ''silent partner'' in so many of these ventures. With predictable results. Those who were complicit in the slaughter of some 67,000,000 of their fellow countrymen will not quibble about safety for a bunch of gwailos in the US.

And so we have this. People in the US seeing damage in their residences as a result of the fumes given off by ChiCom gypsum board. Good article here.

How's that Globalism doing? Still think that Free Trade is always good??

While I loathe CNN, you know the story about a blind pig. Here's their story on it.\

Updated 11 April. An AP story in the Washington Examiner on the same issue.

Perhaps this story has ''legs'', perhaps some people are starting to realize the extent of the issue.
While there is plenty of blame to go around, my 'favorite' villains (after the Democrat Party, the AFL-CIO, and other boils on the nation's butt) are the MBA's and CPA's that have far far too much influence in most companies. They've done more damage than several earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes combined.
Yes, the ChiComs do this all the time. Tell me again, please, why we buy anything from these murderous heathen illegitimati.
