Been disconnected from Internet due to corporate bureaucracy of Hot Internet service. Should you ever move to Israel, use anything to connect, so long as you stay away from Hot. They suck. I'll probably be disconnected again soon.

Ken!!!

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

You made my day with that one!!!!!!
Y’know, there’s a good slogan in there:

LOL. I’ve done my share on that score. If I can get my daughter and two grandkids here, I’ll be into extra innings.
“Every time a leftist gets angry, an angel gets its wings.”
Somebody must do a spoof of Angry Birds along these lines.
Nothing’s built yet. Just approved. Not enough applications done traveling the bureaucratic pipeline, I suppose. Now some Palis will have gainful employment building the 69 houses, instead of standing there with their hands out, saying how oppressed they are. Angry leftists, chaaarge!
Amen!
