Must be Spring

 It is up to 52F, warmest it has been all year.  I bought a box of fresh strawberries for only $2.50.  They were $8 only a few weeks ago.

Looks like the Royal Family made a mistake

 This Meghan Markle is truly making the British royal family look really bad.  You would think that the Queen and Prince Charles would have checked out Meghan Markle before the marriage and found her unsatisfactory and made it clear to Harry that marrying her would be a disaster for him and for the rest of the family and the realm.  Obviously that did not happen.  Too bad.

I wonder which senator missed the vote

 The US Senate voted thru the Democrat's $1.9 Trillion Covid19 "relief" bill last night.  The vote was 50-49.  I wonder which senator missed that vote.  Probably a Democrat.  Of the $1.9 Trillion only $0.38 Trillion goes to Covid problems, the other $1.52 Trillion went to favorite Democrat spending projects like National Endowment for the Arts.

Break up Amazon. Bring back Dr. Seuss

 First we have the Dr. Seuss publisher announce that six good Dr. Seuss books are "offensive" and they will stop publishing them.  Then today we have Amazon announce that it will no longer sell them.  We can fix this.  Amazon is a monopoly, has most of the book selling market.  Sherman anti trust act allows the government to break up monopolies.  The US justice department has a whole anti trust division staffed with well paid lawyers.  They could break up Amazon into two or three pieces.  Divvy up the office buildings, the advertisers, the customers, the shareholders equally.  Let the pieces compete with each other.  One piece will decide they can make money selling Dr. Seuss, after all he dominates the Wall St Journal weekend reviews of books.  Dr. Seuss usually comes in first in sales, beating out all the other books on sale all over the country.  

   They did this to the Standard Oil  company about 100 years ago.

Dr Seuss ain't dead yet

 Walking thru WallyMart today.  They had a big stand full of Dr Seuss books right in the middle of an aisle.  Celebrating National Book Month.   Good Show.  Dr. Seuss is a best selling author, shows up as such in plenty of Wall St Journal pieces.

She should have slapped him in the face. Hard.

 Her name escapes me, it was the chick who had a picture in the NY Post of Cuomo placing both hands on her shoulders.  My mother would have done so. What do they tell young chicks about getting along in the world now a days?

New Hampshire needs real power plants

 Real power plants will produce electric power when ever it is needed.  Fake power plants (aka "alternate energy") only produce power when they feel like it, when the sun is up or the wind is blowing.  We get plenty of cold dark calm nights up here and we need enough real power plants to carry the full load of the entire state.  We cannot depend upon fake power plants.

It would be best if the real power plants were owned by New Hampshire electric companies and located in New Hampshire.  The present deal where companies like PSNH are expected to buy electricity on the open market from out of state generation operations is dangerous.  When power becomes short the out of state operators may not sell to us up here.  If we owned the generators, and they were located in New Hampshire we could be assured of receiving the plant's full output in times of shortage.  

And  while we are at it, we ought to built a decent gas pipeline out to the Bakken.  Out there they have so much natural gas that the frackers are paying people to get rid of it all.  Private industry would be happy to build such a pipeline if we could keep the greenies off their backs.
