Happy Holidays!

The State of Massachusetts aka great idea #69

i refer not to the song by The Dropkick Murphys, the erstwhile unknown but now wildly popular south-boston-irish punk rockers (side note - if you've watched the movie 'The Boondock Saints' then you know what i'm talking about).. and if you haven't heard the song either, then here goes.. of course, if you haven't even heard of the band, then firstly shame on ye lassies and laddies, and secondly here is the song you might know (psst - it was on the soundtrack to the Scorsese movie 'The Departed')

aye, getting back to what i had started saying in the first place.. i think i have the solution to the state debt that the people in the city council have run up with all those fancy-assed projects that they came up with (The Big Dig, etc).. there's a bunch of toll booths here in the city, getting on and off the interstate, in and out of Logan airport and bunches of places. you've all seen the the express lane on the right in any toll booth in the country for people with the passes or stickers or some thingies.. tolls here vary from 50c. to a few bucks at other places.


well, how about a lane on the left then, where there is a fixed $5 toll, and for that princely sum, the occupants of the vehicle get to see titties? simple enough dontcha think.. pull up to the window.. drop your fiver into the bin.. hot chick raises her shirt and gives 'em a good shake rattle and hum.. and the driver drives away having had an eyeful and some boob-induced joie de vivre, with none of the default cussing of the state and road rage that usually happen when passing through a tollbooth..

bad winter

this is showing all the signs of being a long hard winter.. we're expecting the third big snowstorm of this winter tonight, and it's not even x-mas yet.. i think last year we had three storms all winter long!

up at Mile High

was up north of Denver some time ago to commission some new equipment we were buying.. that's beautiful country up there, east is flat all the way to Ohio, and looming large on the west is the Rocky Mountain range. the air is nice and clean, albeit thin.. not the best place for people with breathing troubles. of course, the altitude also means that the alcohol kicks you faster! is it a coincidence that there is a vast proliferation of microbreweries out there? there's a bunch of them, and many of them are pretty good too..




thanks to the Fleetwood-Goldco-Wyard-Ambec conglomerate, that took care of food, drink, travel and other entertainment while we were up there! ;-)


oh yeah, there was a small matter of commissioning a machine too.. well, we already own #001 of the line, and they put in whatever we learned on that into #002.. so that was that..
