Oliver Cromwell, good guy or bad guy?

davknight comments on Jul 3, 2019:

Trump: Homelessness "is a phenomenon that started two years ago.

davknight comments on Jul 3, 2019:

In 410 A.D., a fella named Alaric led a horde of a quarter-million homeless Visigoths, and escaped Roman slaves on Rome. What they wanted was land to replace the land that the Romans had driven them off of. Rome, at that time, was precariously short of troops, since the Legions were away quelling countless rebellions. The only troops available to defend the Imperial City were the 20,000-man Praetorian Guard, which just happened to have a lot of Visigoths serving in its ranks The Roman Senate sent some dignitaries, to parley with Alaric.To whom, they basically asked "Supposing we give you land? What are you going to give us?" Alaric responded "YOUR LIVES!" (those 'barbarian' war chiefs were famous for their two-word replies). The Roman dignitaries ran back to the safety of their fortified citadel. And, shortly after midnight, the Visigoths in the Praetorian Guard opened up the gates of the Imperial City. Into which, poured scores of thousands of enraged Visigoths, who did scourge, and sack the place. Anyhow, I like to ponder what the politicians of our 'Imperial City' might do, if a million armed homeless were to pay it a visit!

Trump: Homelessness "is a phenomenon that started two years ago.

davknight comments on Jul 2, 2019:

Trump probably saw his first homeless person two years ago. Keep in mind he has led a very sheltered life. I use the term "property-less", since their big "crime" seems to be their lack of liquidate-able property. And they existed as far back as Colonial times, and the Early Republic. Washington D.C. had a "homeless problem" back when it was still a small village. During the War of 1812, it was Washington's property-less who were responsible for setting most of the fires that were blamed on the British Army, when they captured the place in 1814. The fires broke out as the property-less looted homes and shops. As the town grew into a city, property-less folks even took up residence in alley-ways, and became known as the "alley people of Washington" (who were photographed by a French photographer, back in the early days of photography).Why was Washington a popular place to go? Because, since the District of Columbia was Federal property, many property-less persons believed that meant they couldn't be evicted for trespassing! So long as some people have too much property, and some people have none, there will be the property-less. The are our 'Sans Domiciles' ("people without homes"). And the propertied both fear, and loathe them.

In it, were unusual, promotional matchboxes, including boxes with the Morton Salt label, and actually shaped like miniature Morton Salt boxes! I only paid four bucks for it, and was going to turn around and flip it in a flea-market I rented space in. But I had such a fun time browsing through all those match books, I decided to keep it, and add to it. Eventually however, I did sell it. But It was really a great collection!

davknight comments on Jun 25, 2019:

Back in the 1980s, I worked as a paintmaker, in an arts and crafts paint factory. I worked midnights, and one night I was going on a break, and noticed a commotion in the warehouse. The foreman, and the set-up boys had something trapped under a 30' tall storage rack. I went over to investigate, and upon peering underneath the storage rack, I came almost nose-to-nose with an irate mama possum. I also noticed what looked like tiny mice trying to hide near mama's tail. I quickly realized these were little baby possums. Well, the foreman had made elaborate plans to flush the critter from cover, and then beat it to death with canoe paddles (not kidding!). I noticed they had left the side door open, and that it was raining pretty heavily outside. I figured the mama possum had thought "any ol' port in a storm", and had brought her brood into our warehouse for shelter. Anyhow, I couldn't let these idiots beat it to death with canoe paddles. So I ran back to the paintmaking area, and quickly made a solution of 1 part Ammonia Hydroxide, and 9 parts tap water. I brought my concoction back over to the warehouse, in a small bowl, and slid it under the storage rack. I then told everyone to go away, for about fifteen minutes. And fifteen minutes later, the mama possum and youngins had scurried back out the side door. Problem solved! I had to fill out a 'formula sheet' for everything I made. So I filled out one for "anti-possum gas", and filed it in the lab, just as I would for a batch of paint!
