I had measles boils inside my mouth. Fortunately, the fever wasn't too bad and I recovered. Miserable time in my life.

My daughter would have reacted exactly the same. She was the CISO at the Philadelphia Fed so she did anything she wanted to do. Your daughter has a bright future.

Well, I passed the Professional Engineering tests [(2) 8 hour exams separated by 4 years of discipline related experience] so I really can use PE at the end of my name. Not sure that means more or less than passing the bar. Passed the 1st time BTW.

Took our ballot to City Hall today. New checking process confirmed our ID and had a signature on a monitor confirmed by a volunteer before we put the ballot in the box. AZ has 80+% voting by mail or drop box. IT WORKS EVERY TIME and is SECURE.

It would also allow US Citizens in PR, Guam, USVI, etc. to actually have a voice in who is President. As of now, only voters in the 50 states have any say.

The judge was appointed by Trump. Doubt he'd entertain any action against the man.

The stations are obligated to run these spots until the court orders them to not run. The court order was against the US Government, not stations. Just because they might hear about some TRO, as long as the stations/cable companies aren't a part, they can't take action.

My ballot arrived today. As my wife said, guess you can still vote at my advanced age.

A responsible gun owner ALWAYS knows what he/she is shooting and that no one else is in the line of fire. ICE does not equal RESPONSIBLE.

Another football player from college and (only) 4 NFL games is Todd France from Toledo. A place kicker, he ran for a touchdown at the 2001 MAC championship on a fake Field Goal. He is a Prof. at ONU in Ada, OH. Specializes in Engineering Education.

My first house had an assumable loan at 7 3/8% interest (the prime was 13 % at the time). My wife and I thought we were lucky to score that rate. Guess it depends on your frame of reference.

The vendor sending ballots out for AZ already started, 6 days early. 3000 ballots already in the mail. AZ says they will count just like the other 1,000,000+ ballots still to go.

Actually, in AZ the governor set the topic and defined Biggs way before he ran his first ad. Biggs is all defence. Katie has momentum with the Legislature sending her bill after bill that dared her to veto. Doubt that will change but there is movement to get majorities there as well.

I have a simple solution to the NFL, I DON'T WATCH FOOTBALL! No ratings add from me and the advertisements have no impact. Most players get shafted by the owners so I won't support them. Did the same with 60 Minutes. Advertisers waste $$$$ if I'm the target demo.

AZ has 80+% vote by mail (including me). My wife and I ALWAYS use a dropbox in City Hall to return our completed ballots. Hopefully we will get the ballots initially but you never know. What to do for those who can't vote in person or drive is also something to address.

Between Buffalo and Chicago knowing their fans and recognizing they are important to the franchise, and pissing off the administration, it's been an interesting start to the season. Still not enough for me to tune in, but their heading in the right direction.

I'm an engineer and I always have a rough idea of the answer BEFORE I enter anything in a calculator or PC. Fat fingers are a real threat and I've seen colleagues come up with answers that are x100 too big or too small - they didn't see any problem.

That's why he's waiting until after the elections (along with an attack would drive even more to the Democrats).

I checked and the DMV sent a temporary address the the Board of Elections as my permanent one, putting my registration in as invalid. Immediately I got on the DMV site and corrected this. Two days later I checked and I'm now "valid registration". Go check today.

TV shows like Survivor and Big Brother glorify cheating and lies. That is what the last decade taught. Just moving the lessons on to society.

I would think if they actually did get rid of the filibuster, next January would see dozens of bills pass and Trump would veto all of them. Then, we'll see if any Republicans want to stay elected in 2028.

We're having a Tailgate at the Ham Shack on Oct. 17. Along with tailgate bargains the Radio Mart will be open until 4 and amateur radio exams offered at 1 PM as well. We even have a restored Transoceanic SW radio up for auction. All are welcome.

You do realize that there is no such thing as a "Diesel Refinery". Refineries can produce more diesel and less gasoline, or kerosene or JET-A but can't produce only one product. And the source of crude impacts what ratio of products can be made.

Actually, if the Republicans were conservative (note the lower case "c"), I'd likely vote for their candidates if the individual matched the party position. What they actually support is so far away, that they chased me away.

I checked today and my status is back to "valid registration" and I should get my ballot by mail. I will drop my ballot at a box at City Hall so I won't be dependent on the USPS except for the initial ballot delivery in October.

Even with court rulings and appeals, these news orgs will be out of the White House until the midterms are over. That's the goal, less video of Trump making foolish statements on camera until after the vote is done.

Technically, since Fox is on cable, the FCC has no license to revoke. Fox does own some stations of the main Fox Network so that could be a target with a new administration if they choose to follow Trump's lead on the opposite political side.

And stop at the AZ Science Center's ham radio station, W7ASC on the 3rd floor of the center. We did an ARISS contact 2 years ago and it was a big deal for even us OM. The ASC is right across the street from the convention center.

I had to get a replacement DL in the summer at my son's address. The AZ Voter Registration address was transferred there so my registration was on suspension. It's fixed now but I'll check in a few days to be sure. Good reminder, thanks

It's obvious that he has investments in AI. His only is concern is how it impacts what money he makes.
