Some random calendar entries

    This is my annual random calendar entry blog. Thought it might be nice to get it done before my taxes are due knowing how busy we all get around April 15. I haven't thought through this so I will be flying by the seat of my britches. So here we go.
These are not in any particular order:
1) Mental Insolvency ( a by-product of aging)
2) Allow markets to tell the truth. (If the government were not actively skewing the markets trying to "fix" inequities we would not be in our current financial mess and we would all, including those who were targeted by their good intentions, be better off.
3) A robin was spotted by Rick on Jan 5. (I've decided they don't all leave town for the winter)
4) "Sales of automobiles were up last quarter but growth was held in check by the biggest government cutbacks in years." (If you don't see the lunacy in this news report then you are most certainly a liberal)
5) Treadle Doc input 1 is the light curtain. Input 2 is the loop.
6) I've always relied on my good looks and the kindness of others to get by. Unfortunately, as I have gotten old people have become less kind.
7) An "ideological pose" is something every successful politician strikes as an election nears.
8) A loop is a proximity device. A light curtain is a precision device.
9) The left believes in cradle to grave entitlements, it's getting to the cradle that can be tricky.
10) Paying your own way is the essence of freedom.
11) I'll take your secret to my grave or the break room which ever comes first.
12) The commercial said, "take Progene and be the man you want to be" so I sent them an order stating that I wanted to be Robert Redford.
13) Hope is not deceptive when we are not deceived.
14) We should make politicians speak through a deFIBrillator.
15) 70 percent of Utah is government land.
16) A motorcyclist received jail time for going 171 in a 60 mph zone. He also lost his license. I'm thinking he should have kept it in his front pocket.
17) Incentivising non-work if not a waste of money is certainly a waste of people. (I think this is a loose translation of a Mark Styne quote)
18) Would speaking on her and my behalf be a bewhole?
19) Did you go to Occidental on purpose?
20) I was in my turnpike uniform one day when I asked an attractive young lady if it was true women swoon over a man in unform. She said, "probably".
21) (Weds. Sept. 5) Chris and Joan arrive.
22) The weatherman says, "part your hair to the south today".
23) Half of the states general fund goes to K-12 schools.
24) Globally, obesity is the cause of more deaths than mal-nutrition.
25) Regualatory agencies have the power of law.
26) Why do tax cuts have time limits but not tax increases?
27) Healthcare administration under the new healthcare law will increase over 2 fold from 28 billion to 71 billion.
28) People who rudely interject themselves in others conversations are Jaytalking.
    Hope you enjoyed reading this more than I enjoyed entering it on my eye pad :-)
