The Vail Spot: Cable is Down...Blogging will be light for a few weeks

Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Cable is Down...Blogging will be light for a few weeks

My cable internet connection will be down for the next couple of weeks. Some genius in my complex tried to hack into the cable nexus and get free cable...but they fried out the whole complex. It's going to be a couple of weeks while all of the wiring is redone...big sigh
