Forget Chinese hackers.....worry about roads and transportation.

As I've been watching the news, and how just a few weeks ago central pa was brought to a stand still when on overpass had a truck explode on it closing most of the ramps around it.

All large population centers have roads and bridges that serve huge amounts of logistics each day.  Take out one small part, and much like a chain with one weak link, the whole system breaks down.  As I watch natural storms, explosions in factories, and fires on trains, boats, planes ect...  It would seem that the easiest way to envolke terror on the US is not large scale attacks but simple nuance attacks.  Most people do not equate 911 and the symbolic attack in the US monetary system.  While the world trade center is the heart of the NY stock exchange, that didn't stop the US economy, what did do it was getting pay back in the form of two wars lasting over 13 years. You see taking down the towers in effect put the US in a recession.  We did it to ourselves.  All we really needed was patience and one special forces team.  The same way that one simple overpass, or accident can cripple a city or a week, one destructive act can plunge the strongest economy and consumer based into complete stagnation.  The hard prt to admit is that we did it to ourselves.

I hope that these nightly stories of bombers, train wrecks, tornados, floods and fires do not give bad people good ideas.

I've not written in a while, here is why

Having cancer is one of the hardest things a person can go through.  Being the person who picks up the slack, is also a job worthy of note.  It's going to be a whole year of this now in a few months.  Thankfully the last treatment has been set in, and now it's just riding out the side effects for the next months.

It's been a busy spring.  We have finished some BHS projects. started on the lawn care, PayPal dropped me as a vendor last week.  Seems me selling Martial arts weapons was not what they meant by your site is approved for PayPal.  I found that odd.  In a sick way I'm making it hard on them by leaving my logos up on the site until I can find a way for people to buy them again.  It's a great idea, people want the product, but selling them has a bunch of built in "you can't" that have never been challenged.  I need to get my Nunchaku to the real instructors.  Too many people think they are those foam practice ones, which is just not the case.
usanunchaku.com  Handmade martial arts nunchaku, made in the USA, with american trees, what could be more american?...LOL

We are not opening the pool this year.  Just no money for it, and the thing leaks, I swear it does.....  Plus, I've said this for two years.  Until that beach house, "hut"  is cleared out of all the junk inside, I'm not taking that dam pool pump apart or working on any of it.  Given my family's hate of heat, and the fact that they don't' line to go anywhere, say, another pool.....I'm feeling like that beach house is going to be cleaned out this summer.

I've got the restart of the server next month, that should be painless.  I'm hoping.

The tenants in the city would like to stay on, I'm really happy about that, I like them, they have been good people and good tenants, problem is, they are both looking for better work, and like all of us, they need to make ends meet.  I am hoping that I don't have to show that house all summer.....that is the worst most boring job all summer.

Bowman's Homes Services:  It's going....  but it's not going fast enough.  I view it as a job, while my uncle views it as a hobbie that enables him to drive to Lowes, every day.  I feel like we really need to get these jobs down to one trip if we want to make any money.  But we carry on.  I was able to  pick up a 98 dodge 1500 1/2 ton pickup for nothing, needed paint and inspection.  the guy i bought it from sold it to me for $1000 because he couldn't get it started.  After the sale, I started it, and drove it home.  another $1000 later it's perfect.  However on it's first trip to Highland gardens to pick up dirt, the guy hit it with his tractor, wrecking the bumper and tailgate.  both of which the insurance co is paying for, but what a bitch!!!!  first dirty job, and they dent my truck......yoy

Welp, thats all the updates I've been able to think of.  It's time to get the Friday chores knocked off the lists.
