    It seems that amount still goes in the total earned, and so affects retirement compensation. Spiking in the final year before retirement has be commonplace.

    San Jose.

    You think that his personal experience would color his opinion?

    Around here starting pay is $78k, steps up annually to $104k after 7 years. Even police academy pays at an annualized rate of $66k. Not to mention retirement pay and retirement health insurance benefits, the like of which pretty much nobody has any more in the corporate/private sector.

    This one is pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CLFLffZA7Q

    You still got cheap gas? Ours has gone back up by a full dollar since the bottom.

    Yes, what you said.

    I wouldn't worry about the D, if you get sunlight. That said, I'm on D3 supplements for a few months, since my level was 1/3rd of what it should be. The amount of iron, and the fact that it is consumed along with calcium in the Soylent, means that not much iron will be absorbed. Also, you really want more C (125mg) along with iron, if you are trying to optimize absorption, and not consume any dairy/calcium/coffee/tea within +/-2 hours of the iron. I sucked my iron levels to pretty much nil a few years ago, as a combined result of many blood donations and not eating much meat.

    I think that you should ferment some.

    To quote my brother as an 8 year old: I'm not afraid of the dark -- I'm afraid of the things in the dark.

    The horse pretends he can't hear, and just uses it as an excuse not to listen to her. Damn teenagers.

    Wow, not as much snow/ice there as usual. Must be melting for some reason.
  13. headoverheels
    only if she is married.

    This, but I'd say for the first 10 jumps. Maybe less if you jump at a dusty DZ like Perris.

    Yes, when I'm on the pier, I'm swatting those mosquitoes.

    Becoming less of a problem with low-flow toilets, since the water depth has decreased.

    That is Sydney and Lucille.

    Well, Hillary just got an endorsement that convinces me!

    My pool, which had a solar cover on it when not it use, dropped in level about one inch per month. In the winter, accumulated water had to be drained out. Lawn, on the other hand, uses many times that, and most lawns are a heck of a lot larger than my pool.

    We already barbequed Spuds MacKenzie. Our meters are read every two months. I'll probably fill the pool halfway the week before they read the meter, and the rest the week after. Spread over 4 months, it is a lot less water than most people put on their lawns (I don't have any lawn, and do very little outside watering).

    Maybe I can re-fill my pool with Oregon beer. The pool has been empty for 3 years, while I was doing other renovations. Or I can just fill it and pay whatever water fine shows up, and consider it part of my remodeling expense. Empty pools are considered more of a liability hazard than filled ones -- I had one potential lender pass on doing a refi with an empty pool.

    Actually, he was an insurance company executive. Yeah, that was just a reference to the man who was killed in a similar way (claimed thought it was a Taser) in an Oakland Bart station.

    I'm feeling the effects of age, and I'm only 60. This officer is 73. Maybe he's still as sharp as a 40 year old, maybe not. Did the officer used to work in Oakland at a Bart station?

    I like her in the Senate. Perhaps as President, but she doesn't have any experience in foreign affairs. She's doubtlessly a quick study, but I'd still like to see broader experience. With regard to Clinton, I don't think that there is any "there" there in the Benghazi issue. I'm not liking the personal email account thing. There was loads of time for Clinton to decide to do it that way and to stop doing it, but she didn't. A bad action, in my opinion. In an election where 2% could very easily change the outcome, the email thing could lose it.

    I'd be interested to know whether the new husband will be inheriting anything from his widow. If so, that likely plays into the actions of her children.
