I went to the LCFD BBQ & then the city council meeting. I'm going to reserve all comment about the city council because I've always heard: "If you don't have something nice to say ..." So I'm just going to shut up. Anyway ... was humming along nicely yesterday right up until all this city stuff. I played a little Sims & was going to throw in an extra load of laundry & then ran out of time & had to leave. There's no such thing as a quick Tuesday night. I was gone for HOURS & by the time I got home it was so late that I barely had time to eat & relax a little & it was 2:a when I went to bed. Great weekend coming up! Have places to go & things to do ... starting with the Godwin Elementary craft fair & garage sale & ending with ... I'm not sayin' ... But I'm sure I'll be on here Monday gushing about it!

Fitness center Q & A:
Question: My friend goes to the gym at the same time that I go. She gets on the treadmill next to me & starts blabbing away. I want peace & quiet! Should I tell her? If so, how?
Answer: For many of us, the gym is a private refuge from stress. Yes, speak up kindly. Tell your friend that as much as you enjoy her company, at the gym you need to concentrate on exercising. Then suggest getting together sometime after the workout, so she doesn't feel rejected.

On this day in 2011, Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States,
is killed by U.S. forces during a raid on his compound hideout in
Pakistan. The notorious, 54-year-old leader of Al Qaeda, the terrorist
network of Islamic extremists, had been the target of a nearly
decade-long international manhunt.
The raid began around 1 a.m. local time, when 23 U.S. Navy SEALs in two Black Hawk helicopters descended on the compound in Abbottabad, a tourist and military center north of Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad. One of the helicopters crash-landed into the compound but no one aboard was hurt. During the raid, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, five people, including bin Laden and one of his adult sons, were killed by U.S. gunfire. No Americans were injured in the assault. Afterward, bin Laden’s body was flown by helicopter to Afghanistan for official identification, then buried at an undisclosed location in the Arabian Sea less than 24 hours after his death, in accordance with Islamic practice.
Just after 11:30 p.m. EST on May 1 (Pakistan’s time zone is 9 hours ahead of Washington, D.C.), President Barack Obama, who monitored the raid in real time via footage shot by a drone flying high above Abbottabad, made a televised address from the White House, announcing bin Laden’s death. “Justice has been done,” the president said. After hearing the news, cheering crowds gathered outside the White House and in New York City’s Times Square and the Ground Zero site.
Based on computer files and other evidence the SEALs collected during the raid, it was later determined that bin Laden was making plans to assassinate President Obama and carry out a series of additional attacks against America, including one on the anniversary of September 11, the largest terrorist attack ever on U.S. soil, which left nearly 3,000 people dead. Shortly after the 2001 attack, President George W. Bush declared bin Laden, who was born into a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia in 1957 and used his multi-million-dollar inheritance to help establish al Qaeda and fund its activities, would be captured dead or alive. In December of that year, American-backed forces came close to capturing bin Laden in a cave complex in Afghanistan’s Tora Bora region; however, he escaped and would continue to elude U.S. authorities for years.
A break in the hunt for bin Laden came in August 2010, when C.I.A. analysts tracked the terrorist leader’s courier to the Abbottabad compound, located behind tall security walls in a residential neighborhood. (U.S. intelligence officials spent the ensuing months keeping the compound under surveillance; however, they were never certain bin Laden was hiding there until the raid took place.) The U.S. media had long reported bin Laden was believed to be hiding in the remote tribal areas along the Afghan-Pakistani border, so many Americans were surprised to learn the world’s most famous fugitive had likely spent the last five years of his life in a well-populated area less than a mile from an elite Pakistani military academy. After the raid, which the U.S. reportedly carried out without informing the Pakistani government in advance, some American officials suspected Pakistani authorities of helping to shelter bin Laden in Abbottabad, although there was no concrete evidence to confirm this.

Symptom is that you're tight on money. The problem is that you have too much debt versus income. In this kind of situation, you've got to either create extra income or get rid of some stuff. Don't treat the symptom. Nip the problem.
Warp Speed:
The highest possible speed.
When Mario saw Helen enter the elevator, he grabbed his laptop & vaulted down the stairs at warp speed to get to the meeting room ahead of her.
"Warp speed" is an example of a phrase that entered the public consciousness through science fiction & eventually made it into the dictionary. The expression was popularized by the 1960s science-fiction television show Star Trek. On the show, "warp speed" referred specifically to the idea of faster-than-light travel. Star Trek quickly gained a devoted & intense following, & fans were soon discussing the fictional concepts of the show, including warp speed, with great enthusiasm. Eventually, the term was adopted by the general population. In the process, however, it lost its specific fictional sense & came to mean simply "the highest possible speed."
