Cobb EMC is paying dad for his solar power from his farm whenever he pumps it backwards. It doesn't happen a lot in summer with the A/C, but in the winter they get quite a bit off of it that he doesn't need. They seem to be reselling it ok.

Yep, at least you know that most of the time a NO vote means no change to the constitution. And I will be voting no on this one.

Son picks us up meat from Ingles sometimes. Some really good meat there.

Great weather for the show, very busy, but a great selection of booths to browse. From what I saw, they should have plenty of gate money to split between the non-profits. Wow what a bunch of people!

As I recall, there is an option with Greystone to pay more than the current going rate for power for it to be "Green" power. So it may pay for itself after all for the liberals that are willing to put their money where their mouth is. I'll respect them for standing up for their principles like that.

I'd think it wouldn't hurt the value. And the traffic impact will be zilch vs them putting another 100 homes or so on the property.

Looked at my mortgage statement tonight. Between taxes and Insurance, my escrow is now over $550 a month. Even if Uncle Bern paid off my house for me right now, I'll STILL have to make $550 a month payments just to cover taxes and insurance. I'm not sure this home ownership thing is all it's cracked up to be....

Don't worry, in a few weeks you will get a call saying they saw you brought the car in for service and they have a customer who is looking for a car "just like yours" and they can give you top dollar in trade if you come in right now. Trust them.

Yep. Sometimes you just have to try to get back where you were to start with. Had a Marietta dealership drop our six month old van off of the service rack five ft to the floor when giving me a "free" oil change. Blew the right front tire, it rolled on it's right side, crushing the mirror and door handles into body and rolled up against the car next to it which had a large door mirror that punched in the roof. They offered to just fix it up and give it back to me. Oh Heck No. It took three weeks of arguing back and forth (at least they gave us a rental for my wife to drive while

With the majority of your taxes being non-school, the impact of the county rate changes is magnified.

Chicago is black on black crime and doesn't forward their agenda, Colin Pumpernickel does.

Not what you are expecting I bet.... "I use trees in all of my Decorating"....

Could be a mess in New Jersey the way they are predicting that it will stall just off the coast. If it still has enough rotation to pull rain off the ocean and pump it inland for 2 days they could be in for some flooding. I'm supposed to head to South Ga Sat, looks like possible flooding there as they have Tropical Storm warning from tonight through all day Friday. However, some rain will be good, I'm told rain has been less than normal down there for the last month or so.

We have discussed that some states/cities (cough, Chicago, cough) appear to possibly have been manipulated. While it's true that fiddling in one state on federal elections may impact congress or the president that make laws for the entire nation, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the feds beginning to move in on state election boards *unless* it's proven there is a problem. Thoughts? Link

While our storms are fizzling (relatively), Hawaii is getting ready for a possible dual hit or close pass by two storms that are Cat 3 Hurricanes at the moment. Lots of Military as well as civilians in the path, including my brother and his wife near Pearl Harbor.

Who determines who is on this independent group now?

Down about $400 from 2015, but that's because the property value was changed to be a little closer to reality this year from the silly high number last year. Still about $100 more than 2014 however. Almost exactly the same as the 2008 taxes.

What's the name of that other sports team we have? You know, the one where they try to throw the ball into the ring? Ring Toss? No, that's not it. Anyway, we could root for them. Of course Blank is also bringing in the new kickball team too... wonder if they will have the same curse?

It's only got a 40% chance of developing in to a tropical storm and that doesn't happen until middle of next week. Agreed we have to watch it, but moving fast helps us as it has less time to develop.

Comcast is just as good. I called for service earlier this year when the power coming in wouldn't even keep one TV going. The tech asked how long the cable had been lying on the ground like that. I told him since 2000, when it was installed and the team was supposed to come to bury it two days later.

It will definitely interrupt my Pokemon Go Play. If there is a spawning spot in the middle, look out!!

I particularly like the memorial in the center of the British one for everyone that's died in the interchange. At least I think that's a flagpole in the middle.

I was kinda glad I wore my Falcon's shirt in public last Monday instead of waiting. At least I will have been able to wear it once this year before I become too embarrassed to admit being a fan...
