The Mind Of OverlordTomala

The sirens have already gone off over here.

I’ve been following the tsunami in Japan (words can’t begin to describe the horror over there) and reading the NOAA to keep tabs on what’s going on. Sometime after 7am it should arrive here. Lucky for me I’m not right on the beach. I do worry about the people who have houses on beach property. It could get hellish.

What my tea tells me.

One of my favorite brands to drink is Yogi. I’m making up a pot of chai roobios right now and never noticed that the tag on the teabags have messages on them. Pretty cool because they remind me of fortune cookies. Here is the wisdom the teabags bestow unto me tonight.

“You must know that you can swim through every change of tide”
“You will feel fulfilled when you do the impossible for someone else”
“Whether you give or share, are kind or not, never let your grace fall.”

Open Thread with a spot of tea.

I really needed the last 2 days off. I woke up today and I feel absolutely great! I’m brewing some tea to take with me today. Decided to go with some afternoon tea from across the pond. Too bad there is no lemon juice or lemons in the house, that would go real good in this right about now.

Oh well, perhaps I’ll post more after ten.

Haven’t heard this one on the news yet…

A magistrate clerk at the U.S. District Court in Spokane said that Kevin William Harpham is scheduled to make an initial appearance Wednesday afternoon in Spokane. Harpham was arrested Wednesday near Addy, Stevens County.

Harpham, 36, has been charged with one count of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of knowingly possessing an improvised explosive device, according to a complaint that was unsealed Wednesday.

An FBI source in Washington, D.C., said one man was arrested Wednesday outside a home near Addy. Agents, including a bomb expert from Quantico, Va., were preparing to search a house where others associated with the suspect may be living, the source said.

The suspect is believed to be affiliated with white supremacists, the source said…

I’m sure the reason why I haven’t seen this information on the news yet is because his name sounds so Arabic that it frightens the reporters…

I read the news today…oh boy.

Cunningham wants to revoke the parts of current state labor law that say kids under age 14 can’t work and kids age 14 and 15 can’t work more than three hours a day on school days, more than eight hours on non-school days or before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. She thinks teens should be able to work late-night jobs at resorts, restaurants and motels. And she’s sponsored a bill, S.B. 222, referred to the state senate’s general laws committee on Feb. 10, that would enact the changes.

# children under the age of 14 no longer being limited in being able to work;

# children being able to work during the school term without a permit;

# 16-year-old children being able to work in hotels and motels without restriction on hours;

# the removal of restrictions on employing 16 year olds and requirements regarding obtaining certification and permits for children to work;

# the elimination of authority of the Director of the Division of Labor Standards to oversee employers of children;

# the removal of an evidentiary presumption that any child under the age of 16 present at a place where labor is employed is employed there.

Yes, we don’t have enough unemployed people over here. Lets not only add more, but pay them less than minimum wage!

God we are stupid…
