Question to the boat-owners: you were all there, sitting on your speed boats, with drinks and music and friends. And you didn't move. At all. All day. Which is what I did. On the beach. Without having to pay for a boat. So my question is: why do you have a boat?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921738304059887638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045976630639923284.post-75679013161090858132016-08-30T18:32:00.003-04:002016-08-30T18:32:14.956-04:00Cleverness in search of a subjectFor the series of "Sentences I like":<br />

The latest in Gary Corby's series<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A comment on all 6 books: reliable fun. Each book takes place in a different place or cultural event/setting, giving great insight to the ancient world. Corby's story-telling style is the right balance of descriptive and leisurely: the characters and places come alive but the story continues at a good pace. </div>
<div>
There is a strong element of humor - dare I say even satire - thrown in, as well as personality traits of historical figures that remove the distance of time and space, making them people we meet every day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
History, satire and murder mysteries, it's a winning combo. </div>

My apologies for the simple approach in this limerick: I have been wanting to use the classic "there once was" structure and this book afforded me the possibility. Also, full disclosure, Ocean and I are trying to find a business use for the situation in which Sharon is Karen and this was too good a chance not to use that rhyming ploy as well.<br />
<br />
There is so much in this book - the impressive level of research is just one element to delight my nerdy little heart. The historical setting: in the 1890s some universities had started admitting African-American students, albeit generally one at a time. Vassar was not amongst these, I'm sad to report. But of course, what is race, really, in a body made up of who knows what mixes of people. (That may be my own typical anarchical view of life).<br />
<br />
The character of Lottie Taylor is written to perfection, the reader can't help but get caught up in her spirit and friendship, feeling the whole time as the characters do that she is highly flawed but undeniably likable. She doesn't drop a beat throughout the book.<br />
<br />
Karin also introduces the complexity of social views in America at the time. We know about racial views in the south, but she adds the contrast between north-east and west. The frontier-lands, as they were, were the most forward thinking of the time in most things social (drinking bans aside). I confess some ongoing frustration at the common (though not universal) north-eastern belief that there is "us" and then the rest of the country trailing behind. The social structures of NY and its environs, at the turn of the century, were especially strict, and I do believe that if women's lib had been left to these areas we would be wondering about it still today. Thank you Wyoming for leading the charge on that particular note (first female justice of the peace and, of course, first state to grant women's right to vote).<br />

<br />
We are out of Euro 2016. But with our heads held high.<br />
<br />
It's a double whammy as Germany has broken our winning streak against them, great team that they are they had never beat us in a competition game. Until now. Having said that, we tied on the field. We lost in penalties after 18 shots taken. You can't call it more equal than that.<br />
<br />
A few comments - Buffon, what a captain. Conte, I love your coaching style; coach as MVP. Pellé, too bad about the pre-penalty over-confidence, you played a terrific tournament. In the words of my passionate and wise husband: "Pellé le prende tutte!"<br />
<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Housing is overrated as a financial investment. First, it’s not good
to have a significant share of your wealth locked into a single asset.
Diversification is better and it’s easier to diversify with stocks.
Second, unless you are renting the basement, houses don’t pay dividends.
Stocks do. You can hope that your house will accumulate in value but
don’t count on it. Indeed, you should expect that as an investment your
house will appreciate <i>less </i>than does the stock market. You didn’t expect to get a great investment <i>and</i> a place to live in the meantime did you? TANSTAAFL.<br />Another problem with houses is that home ownership locks people to
location making it harder to move for jobs. The problem is especially
severe because no one likes to sell at a “loss” even when it is rational
to do so. So when jobs disappear and home prices fall instead of
moving, people hold on for too long just hoping that things will get
better. It’s troubling that both across states in the United States and
across countries higher home ownership predicts higher unemployment
rates. See <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-tooltip="attached" href="http://www.nber.org/papers/w19079" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Does High Home-Ownership Impair the Labor Market?</a></span>So why do so many people buy houses? Houses are lovely if you enjoy
interior decorating, backyard barbecues and talking to your neighbors.
Houses today also come bundled with a significant side asset – access to
so-called public schools. One argument for school vouchers, by the way,
which isn’t emphasized as much as it should be, is that vouchers would
break the strong connection between where you live and what schools you
attend. Poor people would have a better chance at attending good schools
if schools and housing weren’t bundled together so closely</blockquote>

<br />
In the UK, both major parties: Tory and Labour, were officially for Remain. There were elements in both parties who supported Leave and they went against party line. In England, Leave won.<br />
<br />
In the US, neither party wants Trump in power: need I remind so many that the republican party did not take him seriously at first and have since done everything they can to keep him away from a victory.<br />
<br />
In both cases: the political classes are so far removed from the will of the people, we are wandering blind here. This is not conservative vs left, this is people. They are angry and they are loud and they are winning.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921738304059887638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045976630639923284.post-24677155829596684152016-06-22T08:02:00.002-04:002016-06-22T08:03:15.991-04:00Niccola Comucci - Professore del Calcio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The government has ever-so-thoughtfully decided not to legislate the actual insurance companies in the same way - consumers must be regulated, companies can negotiate with government, we call this cronyism. So half way through the year it is acceptable for our insurance provider to drop the main health provider we use because of unsuccessful negotiations.<br />
<br />
Government health experts, care to explain this one?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921738304059887638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045976630639923284.post-51750620296405362322016-06-11T10:00:00.000-04:002016-06-11T10:03:08.713-04:00Euro 2016 - and we beginWith France-Romania<br />

Respect Romania, some great chances and you made them sweat and that made me happy. We also found the most amazing Romanian supporter who was wearing France's colors and thus is either a trolling genius or completely clueless. Take your pick.<br />
