Winter on Heartbreak Ridge!

A balmy 55F here in Tigard today. Cloudy but calm.

Well the Oregon Ducks really stomped their old nemesis Arizona 51 to 13 last night! Arizona wouldn't have even had 13 if the Ducks hadn't allowed them a charity touchdown on the last play of the game. Next stop for the Ducks is the BCS playoffs!

I used to hate online billing, but it has become much more secure these days. The trick is to use an online card for 'certain things' only and not make random purchase with that card -- use another.

For example: one creadit card for online use only go to 4 to 5 places
Yahoo.
storage,
bank,
auto mechanic
atm ( stay at one branch)


this leaves tracks that then can be used for u or against. If someone uses your card not at these location, the banks automatically deny the transaction.

so u need to leave a 'clear' trail, so the companies knows your purchase patterns.


then again, the issue is not online transactions, it is yahoo/google/msm are taking on a new MOBILE/WEB platform, so the old inferstructure of the web built 10 years ago or more will make going online to access email accounts nearly impossible.

the LAPL los angeles lib system is on a T1 line, the most ancient of dynos. It is a little better than dialup and has 1,000s of phones and computers on 2 lines in my district.

sometimes I cannot get on Washington Times or Post or NY Times, they take 20 minuets to load. And it is the connection not the processors or computer. You get a fast new comp, and still u get slow speeds.


North Korea has 100 Gigabytles ( we have 16 kilobytles) per SECOND

North Korea is modern internet, and the LA greater public system is living in paleo Dyno times.

now u can see why I'm upset at all political parties. They fight their stupid social wars and do not renew the INFERSTRUCTURE of America.

The cold east wind out of the Columbia River Gorge hits with full force. The ice we got a couple weeks ago lasted on the ground up there almost a week! But there is a beautiful view of Mt. Hood.

Now the weather is turning colder again and talk of snow is back in the forecasts. Only 44F here in Tigard today, and expected low tonight of 29F! Tigard is down in the valley just to the west. I hear the sound of ice pellets coming down now!

Don't forget, No. 2 Ducks vs. Beavers tonight at 5:00 PST on ABC!

Another cloudy but calm day. 51F here in Tigard.

Online payments can be more reliable. If you mail a credit card payment but the postal service delivers it late, the credit card company will not take that as an excuse, but will tell you to take it up with your "carrier". Then they will charge a late fee and raise your interest rate. Soon you may notice your other cards raising your interest too, because that's how it works!

Last night I was listening to Coast to Coast and near the end of the show God himself called in! At least that's what he said. He said he would answer any questions, but the host and guest seemed dumbfounded and couldn't think of any questions! They put God on hold! Well anyway it raised the show to a new level!

AA Here in Orange county it stays in the 70s during the day,but the nights are in the 40s. Very fogy this morning. I stayed in bed till it cleared. Still hate driving on the freeways. I guess that's old age. I don't like driving to Vegas on 15 that highway has killed a lot of people. Sammy Davis lost an eye on that road. Ca. drive crazy. I thought I just made it through a yellow light. Looked in rear mirror and 5 cars were behind me. Get the picture TreBert

Now in Tigard light rain and 57F as of 1:00 PM. Forecast high 59F! A winter heat wave? Must be global warming for sure!

Aversion to freeway driving might be generational. My father hated it, but I preferred it.

So that's how Sammy Davis last his eye? I always wondered.

yep , about 7 deg above normal & Sunny here in LA. Nice weather, but we have a doosy on Friday-Sat, suggested 5 inches of rain.

Usual rain, but only 53F today here in Tigard.

Lunch with Kim in downtown Portland. Some young woman on the street asked me if I knew that $28 from me would put a kid through school, what would I do? I told her that in my state of poverty, I couldn't afford it! Phony answer? Phony question!

Cloudy, calm, and 46F here in Tigard as of 12:45 PM.

The big storm that was supposed to hit us Thursday missed us completely. Just a little SW wind kicked up but no rain. Too bad about California.
