Seeing if I can use this thing on my travels...

Ok, I haven't left yet, but thought it was worth trying this out &
getting the bugs out BEFORE I left...



It's actually a lot easier to type on than I thought it would be... Probably helps that I use two fingers on a REAL keyboard.

Indian Bartender: oh, God, what do I know? I'm a half Punjabi Sikh Tamil separatist. My sister's married a Jewish doctor from New Jersey and our other grandmother was an Irish nun who left me this bar... which is a very long story...

Father Brian: So...you're a Sikh Catholic Muslim with Jewish in-laws??

Indian Bartender: Yes, Yes! It is VERY complicated!

Bill Mahar on capitalism

How about this for a New Rule: Not everything in America has to make a
profit. It used to be that there were some services and institutions so
vital to our nation that they were exempt from market pressures. Some
things we just didn't do for money. The United States always defined
capitalism, but it didn't used to define us. But now it's becoming all that
we are.
