A foreigner? Like a Swede or a Norwegian?

Accidents suck. I oughta know, I’v been in enough of them. My wife was rear-ended at a red light once. Same kind of thing, the guy never stopped.

Insurance should pay you for the value of the car. I don’t know if a lawyer is going to get you anything. I guess it depends on if you think the foreigner has anything worth going after.

If she was distracted by reading a text or making a call I would think she might be liable for "pain and suffering" - my daughter is lucky she wasn't injured beyond what we are currently aware of. She has wedding photos in a week so we are thankful she didn't smack her face on the steering column

Af far as what region of foreign persuasion, think a little farther south and east of your selected area

Is there a law against texting in Texas? Was the driver cited?

That would help a lot. Otherwise, it could be hard to prove exactly why the other driver hit your daughter.

On a completely different topic, I’m listening to the recent Beach Boys’ album: “That’s Why God Made The Radio,” which I recommend without hesitation. Brian Wilson and whoever else he’s got singing with him bring back the early 60s all over again. I feel like getting the surfboard and putting it on top of my woody and going down to the beach. Except that I don’t surf and, at my age, if I get a woody I’m certainly not going to put a surfboard on top of it. Plus, the nearest beach is about 60 miles away.

Lewinsky will also detail pain of ending pregnancy during scandal

Whose baby? Did she abort a Clinton baby? Cause that would be a bombshell.

You want extra credit for a galvanized bucket? Not unless there’s an Apple in it. And by Apple, I mean an iPad, or at least a new iPhone. :)

70 and sunny-fall weather has come a couple of weeks early-

Obama’s promises of free stuff
May galvanize the unwashed masses
Paying for the bread and circuses
Falls to all other economic classes

That Roman mob with their demands
Have dried up the public well-
Those whose taxes supported them
Say they can just go to hell

Let them work for every dollar
At any job, and don’t make a fuss-
Obama’s minions don’t have a stash-
They steal it from the rest of us...

Galvanize

This Galvanize is a process named after Galvan Goolidge who first used it on a kitchen zinc. It might somehow involve gals and vans but that was before the Galvan and Hubbs Medal Process.

(This came from a soon to be written book called, “Great Something or Other”)

Very clever. Hot stuff. Boiling. 212 degrees Fahrenheit. 100 degrees Celsius. Not sure where it falls on the Galvan scale.

Thank you!

I think putting up that old tape of O talking about how much he loves redistribution (AKA highway robbery) was probably a good idea-I know it makes me see red in more ways than one...

On a silly note-one day years ago, I came home from work to find my then-12 year old daughter watching a novella on Spanish language TV-she has been watching that stuff ever since. She told me recently about a show on Telemundo called “Decisiones”-she said mom, it is re-runs, but it is hilarious, you have got to watch it sometime.

A couple of nights ago, I worked late on some bid stuff, and wasn’t really tired, so I went channel surfing and saw that show was on Telemundo-for lack of anything better, I started watching it-and was howling with laughter in less than 5 minutes. Constant female hysterics, yelling, fighting non-stop sex, barely dressed people, people who just walk into someone’s house and listen at doors and look in windows , etc. It is even more of a parody of a drama than most of those shows are. I’m ashamed of myself for enjoying it...

Drama and what would be dozens of outtakes on US TV-in one scene, the male lead’s wife went to work, and he raced out the door to his mistress’s house, barged in, and grabbed her rather hefty butt with both hands and lifted her up as she threw her legs around his waist, giggling. He wasn’t a very big guy, so when he roared in delight and whirled around in a circle with her on the way to the bedroom, he stumbled under her weight, bashed both of them into a wall and knocked some pictures and ornaments to the floor-apparently, no one yelled “cut”, because they just continued into the bedroom-it was hilarious.

My daughter also likes some dating game thing called “12 Corazones”, but I haven’t seen that one. She understands Spanish, but does not speak it well. Like most kids(of all ethnicities) from the valley/border, I grew up speaking TexMex dialect as a second language-not “proper” Spanish, but what is in use.

That’s that Latin passion. Gringos, on the other hand, design beds so that you can jump up and down on one side while a glass of wine sitting on the other doesn’t move.

I think only those who are from Spain use a “lithp”-I’ve never actually heard a real person speak Spanish like that-only on a couple of historical dramas on BBC America.

TexMex is considered vulgar in parts of Mexico far from the US border, for whatever reason, and I had some enbarrassing moments when on vacation in the interior because of the differences in dialects...

I don’t have one of those beds, but I’m betting that those commercials use creative camera work-in the real world, that wine likely would be all over the place...
