Recommending Reiki

Posted on February 22, 2022 | Comments Off on Recommending Reiki

An OCS chum’s wife suffers from chronic back pain. I suggested a Reiki session: “A stop-gap method to ease back pain, if not to heal it completely, is a Reiki session of about 30-45 minutes for your wife. You can Google Reiki, to find a practitioner near you. The cost varies but generally is under a hundred dollars. I have been treating Bar’s chronic back pain that way for the past year with some success. Give it a try, why doncha!”

UPDATE: They want it. I’m starting a free, long-distance session once a week. We’ll see how it goes. Bar also is talking about sessions, but she wants to get a collapsible table for it.

MORE: They changed their minds. Religious reasons, I suspect. Religion is the bane of existence for many.

Policing for profit

Posted on February 22, 2022 | Comments Off on Policing for profit

Fines and forfeitures, of cash and property, in other words.

“Policing for profit produces a predatory relationship between officers and citizens. Policing is no longer about protecting people, but about extracting money from them. This also promotes hostile interactions between police and citizens, which increases the likelihood of violence. The entire system winds up being corrupted. Can an accused person expect fair treatment when everyone in the system knows that its well-being depends on revenue from convictions?”

Solar electric house

Posted on February 19, 2022 | Comments Off on Solar electric house

A good friend is boasting of $4 a month electricity bills after taking up the city’s offer to have solar panels installed on the roof of her single-family, three-bedroom, one-level house. She can use the extra money that would have gone to her electric bills. Hmm. Wonder if our all-electric condo’s Homeowners Association would be interested? They’ve probably considered it already. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: They rejected it because of the aesthetics of rooftop solar panels. But, now, after last year’s lengthy power outages, some are talking of forming a new committee to research the idea again.

Mexifornia gasoline

Posted on February 19, 2022 | Comments Off on Mexifornia gasoline

Is now at an average cost of $4.70 a gallon, compared to the national average of $3.49. I predict that Cali(Mexi)fornia will be our bellweather and hit $10 a gallon before the rest of us have to pay that much. Probably by May.

UPDATE: “…$6.99 a gallon gasoline at a filling station on a major highway…” via Power Line

Come in all shapes and sizes and partisanship. Here’s a refreshing change: Give us the data!

“Our mobile app will be publicly available at the end of the first quarter in Apple stores and
Google Play stores. This will allow access to 613 million individual vendor payments, 20
million public employee salaries, and 5 million individual pensions from an estimated 50,000

We’ll be back.
