Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

You know, I sat here for ages before hitting send because typed out, It really does not look right. So then I was highly questioning everything and I started searching the word as to not look like a complete gobshite. Definitely need to find a better term. Fabric Technician, perhaps?

I tell our students gratitude makes you feel lucky, & feeling lucky is a force field to all the bollocks in the world & that my luck stems entirely from being aware of all the incredible wonderful things that have ever happened to me” Sanjeev

Again, he just doesn't get humour, as he hasn't got the emotional equipment for it and I think the jealousy of your happiness is indeed part of his demented hate. Here's the response: www.ms.now/morning-joe/...

I don’t think I have ever been happier than being attacked by a President of America for writing a book on building a house over fifty years in Provence. I’m still giggling. WTF, ha ha. Goodnight everybody.

I’m in Sarasota Springs for a talk tomorrow at 7 pm at The Preservation Hall. By chance I found this wonderful restaurant with the most wonderful rosé I have ever tasted in North America and the food is great too. Check it out. See you tomorrow.
