More Ways To Help The Homeless This Winter




This is a great video.  This young woman stepped up to try and make a difference and ended up making a real big difference.  In today's economy, success stories like this are rare, what is even more rare is when the people behind the stories are making a positive difference in others lives.

How A 9 Volt Battery Can Potentially Save Your Life By Charging Your Phone

Sometimes you run across some interesting and clever tricks.  The above video is one of those times.  By the crazy Russian Hacker, this guy shows you how to recharge your cell phone with a 9 volt battery with a car charger and a key.  It's a very simple trick and very sound.  So if you get stuck out in the middle of nowhere, your car battery is dead and your cell phone about to die, this is a great little trick that could potentially save you.

  So next time you are in a store, you might want to consider buying one or two of these to keep in the glove box as a potential emergency backup.  Now if they could only make an app for recharging your car battery with your cell phone.  (Yeah we know it won't work, but someone should still make an app for it anyway.  After all, they have a solar recharging app that isn't real but looks good.)

Gloucester, Virginia Board of Supervisors Work Session Meeting, October, 2014




Gloucester, Virginia Board of Supervisors meeting, October, 2014.  This is the second meeting of the month and is a work session meeting.

  The first guy up demands socialistic solutions to animal problems.  He expects government to solve everything.  He must think we are in Russia.  He completely ignores other animals such as raccoon's, squirrels and more as causing the same issues as cats.  It's NOT the government's place to solve everyone's problems.  This is the issue we suffer from today.  Everyone thinks it's the government's job to solve every problem and at the same time do NOT want higher taxes they just caused by their own expectations?  Really?  Who are you kidding?

  There are some decent suggestions that are made regarding what to do about the feral cat problems in Gloucester, but by the time you get to this in the video above, the entire board seems to forget about those suggestions.  It's a civil matter as there are no state codes covering such issues.  If you want state codes to cover these issues, then you have to get it done at the state level and realize it will cost everyone more money in taxes and take away more freedoms.

  We still need to go through the rest of the video to see what other issues exist as we are not at all pleased with the continuation of the FEMA mitigation crap that is costing everyone a fortune.  Agenda 21?  Looks like it.
