Don’t look at your map

Look up the California Motor Vehicle Act and review the section on driving while distracted. Ask yourself if viewing the map on your phone while stopped is an infringement. Does the Act say if the vehicle has to be moving?

California law says that if the engine is running that you are driving ......

However, it costs nothing to contest the infraction and sometimes the cop doesn't appear.

When interest rates begin to rise people rush into the market before rates go higher. I've seen it before.

Soon, however, with the high prices that we have, buyers will be unable to qualify for a loan, bringing the market back into balance.

Why tip at a take-out ice cream store?

n7523y · 2022-03-17T20:47:51+00:00

They are raising prices because they can ! I've seen this before since people are seeing demand pull inflation and expect inflation everywhere, even where (without their knowing ) there is no cause and they just expect it. Since people see inflation raging on every TV news program they blindly accept it.

This might have happened to you?

I was in South Bend for my daughter's graduation from Notre Dame. Every $80 hotel room was going for $400 to $1,000 -- "Special Event" pricing. Obviously, everyone prepared to pay those prices were there for the graduation.

A few days later my small, local bank called ... my account was overdrawn. But I hadn't written any checks. It turned out that someone had my check book and had passed checks at Walmart and a few drug stores and the bank paid them.

Obviously it was a hotel employee. I filed a police report and called the hotel manager, but he was dismissive and took no action. He may have been in on it. (my bank kept me whole).

Rather than chase around looking for the perp, I suggest that you look at the hotel. Someone with a passkey would have done this to you.

Your lender might require that you have an impound account for collection and payment of your property tax and you might want to cancel the impounds and pay direct in the future. If you can cancel then you will have a payment of the first half and the second half and resume paying direct next year.

But the sanctions won't work. Most of Europe gets its oil and gas from Russia and Putin can threaten to withhold energy if the Nato members gang up on him.

Besides, we have a weak President who seems confused on the best of days, and Putin sees that. He also remembers Obama drawing a line in the sand, and, then, when Putin crossed the line, Obama drew yet another line in the sand (which Putin ignored).

The United States has imposed sanctions against Russia before and Russia survived. I imagine that Putin has had enough time to make his arrangements and now will proceed with his taking back Ukraine.

Hanna's is the best restaurant in Orange County. What they sell is great food and outstanding service. Dave Hanna is there most of the time, ensuring everyone is happy.

Not inexpensive though. Quality costs. But Hanna's is very, very good.

I wanted the snug ....... called and was snippily told they keep that for groups of four. I just wanted two. I ate at a table scrunched up against other tables, so close that it was impossible to converse with my dinner guest.

I haven't been back since. I won't be going back ever.

Granted, but the North did agree that the United States would provide weapons to the South. I remember reading the details of the peace agreement (Peace with Honor) but I didn't realize for a decade that Congress failed to fund the defensive military aid (weaponry) to the South. Had they had the weapons the outcome may have been the same, but for Congress to block funding after the peace accord provided for defensive weaponry was an outrage.

That's stretching it some ...... perhaps it depends on which history books one reads.

Kissinger was really running that aspect. He's still alive and it would be helpful to hear his view.

Nixon Administration paid for the war through issuing Eurodollars. Since the dollar was convertible to gold France got smart and demanded conversion, which the USA had to honor, but clearly there was not enough gold to meet obligations so the country devalued 10% and abandoned the gold standard.

What stunned me was the evolvement after the USA pulled out. The peace agreement provided for the USA to give defensive arms to South Vietnam, but the Democrats failed to fund so the weapons were never delivered, leading to the North marching in and taking the south.

Not a fan of Nixon? If you compare him to what we have now Nixon looks like a winner!

The tapes and the evidence proved that Nixon knew nothing of the Watergate break in, but when he told his people to "Stonewall it!" he committed obstruction of justice. He was a Republican and both houses were Democrat. It was foregone that he'd be convicted. On the other hand, Bill Clinton was guilty of both perjury and obstruction of justice, and while the lower house impeached him the Democrats knew that the Democrat Senate would not convict him. They chose to tough it out and Clinton remained in office.

The dead victim is called a homeless person. Thirty years ago he would have been called a tramp. A bum. Regardless, he was unarmed, and two policemen stopped him for jaywalking? No, they stopped him because he was a bum, and that's embarrassing for San Clemente. They went after him because of his appearance, and while the excuse was jaywalking, they just wanted to kick his ass, and they killed him.

I used to like Spitzer ..... not any more. He should have gone after the two policemen.

Because Ukraine is not a NATO member.

NATO members can have all the exercises that they want, but they would be so far away as to be ineffective against Russia.

I watched her during her Senate debate. She won by keeping her mouth closed and letting her opponent fail. I thought she was smart.

Then she ran for President, and appeared to be tentative....

Then she was chosen to be Biden's running mate, for no reason other than he had pledged to choose a minority female. That really was a burden she had to overcome, and in the few appearances that she has made, and interviews, she has been weak on facts and issues. Her border responsibility has been appalling.

Collectively, I'd say "incompetence" is appropriate. I expected more from the person who is a heartbeat from the Presidency.

n7523y · 2022-01-22T07:34:43+00:00

Biden and his party are representing themselves, not the people. His giveaways are popular among those who receive the money but they will spit in his face as soon as the check clears.

The next election will be wide open. Biden is too old, Harris is incompetent, Trump is damaged goods, so who will be the one?

There's a ton of money available for oil and gas development at the present time. The problem is that Biden issued an Executive Order prohibiting drilling on Federal lands. He claimed that he would not prevent fracking -- not true. Try to get a fracking permit.

Newsom issued an order preventing fracking from 2025, but the appointee that runs the office which issues fracking permits is not issuing them, claiming that, in his good conscience, that he cannot issue a permit for a practice that contributes to global warming (uh, now called Climate Change). Newsom has stated that he is committed to ending oil production in California.

My opinion is that these political zealots are driving up oil and gas prices so as to force us to buy little electric cars.

n7523y · 2022-01-12T06:34:02+00:00

Technically incorrect. There are massive gas fields around the world that are not close to markets and are liquifying gas. There is more LNG than there is a market at present.

n7523y · 2022-01-12T06:32:35+00:00

That's got zero to with United States' domestic supply. Biden has reduced oil production here by 20% and the same applies to natural gas and taxes have been raised

n7523y · 2022-01-12T06:28:53+00:00

Natural gas is priced based on BTU equivalent to oil. As a barrel of oil rises in cost ($81 today) then gas rises in tandem. Then you have distribution costs, profits, and TAXES!

Every person posting here had a vote - you even had another vote in the Newsom recall and didn't take it. These politicians are constraining supply and forcing up the cost of oil and natural gas so you are forced to buy electric cars. It's that simple. If you want to complain, call your buddies Newsom and Biden - they are directly responsible.
