In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

Waiting to Get Your Street Snow Plowed?
Listening to the commotion about "the government isn't plowing the streets in NYC" brought this to the mind of the lovely and fiercely independent Mrs. Graybeard. I have to agree.
{obligatory small print} While this is called "Democrats on an Escalator" and that's the way we first heard of it, we find it's actually a commercial for a heart health clinic that will help you get in shape in case you have to walk those few steps. And don't have a government to come carry you.
This is so full of Win that it's in danger of falling into a Black Hole of Win.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it goes without saying that a commercial like that would never get aired in Massachusetts.
"WV: "elties". Dyslexics of the world, untie!
Maybe the government should sell the streets to someone that will take better care of them. ;)
